Update on 9000W sealed flower room. Day 1 of Flower (Red Diesel, Tahoe OG kush)

This is a 9000W sealed flower room with 2 A/C units and a Co2 burner hooked up to my gas line. I have 2 reservoirs with a total of 100 gallons of RO water. Im running the electrical at 240. This is day 1 of flower with Red Diesel and Tahoe OG Kush. The red diesel are on the trays that are parallel to each other, and the tahoe OG is the tray thats by itself. I use Canna coco, and i do a 90% coco - 10% Hydroton Rocks mixture. I use 7 gallon pots and it fits 18 plants per tray. Theres 3 trays, a total of 54 plants. These plants are really big already because i ended up vegging them longer than i wanted, but its still going to work out great. I just need to get the trelis up in the next day or two. Also i took a picture when i was transplanting to show the root system, every plant looked like this. Leave comments and tell me what you think! 3 months of work and now finally flower time! i'll update more pictures once they are on week 2. Peace!

im subbed nice bro im working on a 8k sealed room still trying to get the co2 dialed in im loving the setu bro +rep
 
what are you aiming to pull per 1k? how big are your trays? what nutes are you using? the room looks sick congrats dude
Thanks man im glad to finally get the room up and running! Im aiming for 1.5 pounds per 1k but sometimes I get 2 pounds, but that just depends on the strain. Like the Tahoe OG kush will most likely get 1.5, but the red diesel will probably get 2. My trays are 4'x8'. And i use a variety of companies for my nutrients. heres a list of all the nutrients i'll use over the course of the full flower time.

Canna A&B base nutrient (use all the way through flower)
Botanicare Cal/Mag (use all the way through flower)
Botanicare Sweet (use all the way through flower but switch between this and liquid carboload every time)
Advanced Nutrients Liquid Carboload
House & Garden Roots Accelerator (Only use until week 2)
Great White Beneficial bacteria (Every other Watering)
Hygrozyme (Use all the way through flower)
Botanicare Silica Blast (Use all the way through watering)
Advanced Nutrients Big Bud (Use week 2-5)
Advanced Nutrients Overdrive (Use weeks 5-6)
Humboldt Nutrients Big Up powder (Use once in transition of flower, once with 4 weeks left, once with 2 weeks left)
Humboldt Nutrients Gravity Flower Hardener (Use weeks 5-8 )

So that is basically all the nutrients that i use, and that is how i use them. Let me know if you have any more questions. This is a Nutrient line that is guarenteed for success, Ive been using it for a long time and it works great every time.

so you run 3 thousand watts per 4x8 tray and get 1.5-2 each? thats fucking gnarly yields. i can yield 2+ but i have to use a 5x5 canopy per thousand watt. i see you use a flower hardener, is that the same as a finisher kind of? like house and garden shooting powder or yellow bottle final? how much water are you giving them and how often? what state are you located in and what are you estimating your electric to be? you said you have 2 ac units, how big are they? dope room i wish i could fit 9k in my box. what are the room dimensions? sorry for all the questions, sick room

what state is he in smh cmon brother dnt u think thats asking to much with all do respect im not trying to argue or start anything cuz i also like ur grow and u know what ur doing just like the few dozen of us but asking what state a persons in is pushing it next thing u know not saying its not legal but he might bck out of the journal and i kinda like this setup cuz its similar to mines and i wnna see wat his gon be pulling :)its all love bro no harm lets just not ask crzy questions some ppl do get paranoid and close the journal and it sucks not seeing the end result by the way ur last harvest u had 40+ ladyz and u pulled some good numbers does the co2 really make that much of a difference and how are the extra 600s i havnt checked ur journal in a while ima do a lil catching up and get subbed like i said i ike ur setup and from ur last grow or first i think it wass u did really good dnt take it the wrong way brotha its just this is a really good grow and like i said some ppl bck off and just stop the updates cuz they get paranoid hey DR DANK wass up brotha post some pix

Nah its all good I dont mind answering questions. Yea man i get some pretty heavy yields with this setup. I can get up to 6 or 7 pounds on one 4x8 tray with the Red Diesel. My power bill is about 2000 a month, i have 2 600W in veg, and the 2 A/C units run up the bill pretty high, but it all pays for itself. I guess a finisher is kind of similar as the flower hardener i use, but what gravity does is it causes the buds to grow more tight colas and really dense. Problem is, you cant get gravity anymore so i bought like 5 gallons of it to last me for a while. I have one 24000 BTU minisplit, and one 14000 BTU wall mount A/C. The minisplit i have can pretty much take care of the whole room by itself so i think im going to turn off the wall mount one. And my room is shaped like a big erectangle, and its 23.5 ft long, and 12.5 ft wide, its a pretty decent sized room.

Geez with a 2k powerbill a month you would want to get a 5kw+ solar system installed and you'd still be better off. $24,000 in powerbills ??

My first post here, I have been growing pot since I was 14 and have rarely missed an outside grow, but over the last 4 years I have moved inside and am impressed by your setup.
 
do you have it planed that u will harvest apart from each other or at same time?? and what do u think you will yield total out of the 54 plants?
 
I have had another room that was 12k that harvested 6k every month and went back and forth. But this one is going to harvest all at once. I will most likely get about 16-18 pounds out of 1 harvest.

Nice setup, looking forward to following this to the end.. Seems like your lights are crammed in there bro, any thought on spreading the reflectors out a little bit more or simply running fewer lights if its a space issue?? What ballast/bulbs are you running? How long have you grown with the red diesel? More indi than sativa I assume?

To be honest bro ive tried it all, 2 lights on 1 tray, 2 1000w lights with a 6 in the middle, and 3000w on one tray, and ive never yielded more with anything but 3000w on one tray. Theres no space issue thats just how ive been doing it for the past year and a half or so. So in my opinion, i wouldnt change anything. Im using harvest pro magnetic ballasts and hortilux bulbs. Hortilux are amazing bulbs. Ive been doing the red diesel for going on 2 years now and it has never let me down. It always has massive harvests of pure chronic. Its actually a very much sativa, it grows very tall with tons of branches and it has an uplifting high, and very smooth on the lungs to smoke. Overall a very good strain.
