18.4k SCROG Soil

[brandnew]

Hello all. As far as you and I are concerned this is a 100% medical op.

I've changed my s/n a few times, I've been on icamg a few years, haven't posted in ages so I thought I should.

This is my first run with an op this large so pass me good karma. This is a one man show, including trimming. (Going to get a Reaper)

So far these girls are about 10 days or so in flower. They were vegged for about a month in my veg room. CO2, 1000Mh x2...so they grew pretty quick.

I forget how many there are in each room but my total is just right under 80-90 for both. Gotta stay under 100.


I have 2 flower rooms with 9200 watts each. I use one of the 60 amp boxes from Powerboxinc, and 8 of their flipboxes. And they work just fine on digital ballasts. It hasn't missed a beat yet, and I've been using their flipbox since before it came out to the public. Each rooms is going to be about a month apart, the other flowering room is still vegging so nothing interesting there yet.


Set-up per room is
2 ton AC
14x19
8x SSII
2x SSI (1 is not in the video)
8x1000 hps
2x 600 hps in the middle
Co2 Burner running 5 Burners
Sentinel CO2 Controller
10 Max Fan + a 6 Can HO to help on the intake side
12" Fan/Can 150 Scrubbers
6" Fan/Mountain Air Scrubbers
70 Pint Demid.
4x 4x8 pvc trellis with SCROG net
5 gallon grow bags
A mix of FFOF and PRO MIX HP
PBP Nutes
Dripclean
I have a "drip" system set up for when I have to leave or if I can't tend to the grow.

I've been growing this same strain for almost 3 years now, Strawberry Cough From Dutch Passion. When I ordered seeds forever and a year ago, I bought 1 of these seeds and out of the 20 different potential moms that I had back then I only kept this one. She grows so fast and smokes so nice that I can't give her up.

I'll post some pics up of this mom. She is 3 years old 6 ft high, 6 ft across and in a 25 gal smart pot! She is a monster!

I'm sure I left something out.

I have no internet at home so I will be slow to respond to this thread.
Enough ramblings.......

goddamn.

Damn looks good! I think I remember your other rooms they were half the size right? Either way looks really good, how to do you like those hood covers? They aren't cheap like 60 bucks a piece do you feel they are worth it?

So here are some shots of the veg Room and a mom and some clones

More shots of the veg Room and some finished product. I bet you haven't seen a Strawberry cough look like that?

That song is hilarious, never heard it before.

Nice grow, I'll be watching.

 

[peterjoseph88]

Damn doin it big, what do you expect this to yield?

 

[IamNug]

this is some really good work thanks for your dedication!

laughingmoon, thats what I think everytime I see the room! Thanks for dropping by.

Teeg420, my old rooms were much smaller only 4k total. And yes those hood covers make a HUGE difference. I have no technical data for you but the ambient heat does not seem to escape at all. If I don't use them my temps run a few degrees higher then they do now.

Sam the Caveman, I thought it was fitting since this is all so brand new to me!

peterjoseph88, to be honest I don't ever think about it. It will yield what it will yield. I can only control it so much. But if all goes well 10-20 lbs is a decent number per room.

IamNug, thank you so much!

Oh and I hand water most of the time, I prefer to get down in with the plants, talk to em, and love on em!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

I will say that it has been a lot more work then I ever imagined. My old 4k is cake compared to the work involved in 18k plus!

The girls are done with the stretch, I'm seeing many potential foot long cola's!

Got the under brush all cleared away and its all giant nugs from here on out!

This video was taken at day 21 flower and some more video of my veg room.

I picked up some clones from one of my fav clubs.

Grape Ape
Purple Diesel
Power Plant
White Widow
White Rhino
Strawberry Double Deep Choc Chunck (White est strain ive ever seen)

After about a week of veg I was already able to get 37 clones off of them!

I'm also getting another flower room up and running. I't will be an 8k vertical set up bare bulb, and I have an idea of how to run trellis at a 45 degree angle with 2 4x8's per light...it will take about 2 weeks to get together but I'll get it all built and I'll post up pics.

It will use 80 plants and I'm going for a goal of 22lbs first run.

I am up for seeing you complete this monster crop. nice job.

 

[AOD2012]

that is incredible. i really have to say that is an awsome setup. haha im going crazy over the power for 1200 watt run!!! cant even imagine what your bill must be like. anyway, seeing that gives me inspiration. ive got everything down, except i just have a hard problem keeping my girls looking healthy. seems every time i get them to look good, something else pops up. straight insanity though bro, keep on overgrowing. awsome.
