advise on a new set up

[Grizz]

this isent a stadium DHF, your right about all you posted and thats the exact measurement i made the flower room today, 8x10 . clones arent a problem and i probaby will only be running 3000 watts this run, 4 plants per 1000 w . i have 25 chem d cuts rooted and in cups so planning on vegging them a good month and flip them, 12 will be all i need so i can pick the biggest healthyest ones. I think i have figured out how to use my bon air swamp cooler so no ac will be needed, no hot exaust to get rid of either except from the lights and with the 8in exaust fans and the swamper running it will be nice and cool in there. thanks for all the info.

 

[megayields]

you asked for it DHF, i sent you a 2 page PM, lol

nice ol' DHF better get out his reading glasses and put down the pussy....

 

[DHF]

So 12 plants per 3-1000`s instead of 16 with 4 -1KW`s....Gotta be envious of a good Chem D grow Bro......and Grape Romulan.....but....

Not sure how the grape rom is structure wise , but Chem D`s predominantly a single cola type kinda girl unless topped/stressed and she don`t recover quickly but it`s all in how large yas want the plants to finish at.....so.....feel blessed she rooted well for yas.....that counts fer somethin......

Good luck JW.....DHF...........

thats funny you would say that about the chem d, i have had this cut for a few years and really like it but recently have been informed it my be the sister cut, it does stretch well and has good side branching so maybe it is the sister, the grom stretches big time with long side branches also.

on another note i have totaly changed up my room, got rid of the tent and built a 9x9x9 room for flower, 1/2 wood siding, fiberglass insulation, 1in strofoam over the fiberglass for inside walls, same with the 6x 9 veg room, running 3 8in cool tubes in sealed room with co2, sentinal controlers on co2 and the a/c. room stays at 75 to 80 degree, really dont like cool tubes but for a sealed room they were a must. flipped the first 4 into 12/12 today, 4 more will be ready in 2 weeks

Sounds like a killer setup Joesy, can't wait for the show man.

 

[DHF]

Hey JW.......is there any way yas can squeeze another 1KW in there for right at 50 watts per sq ft and optimum lumen absorption for the plants.......I mean....

You`re runnin a sealed room w/CO2 and the only formula I ever saw that worked for explosive growth and accelerated finishing times was temps in the high 80`s- low 90`s till end of stretch for proper CO2 absorption and the extra light will add that heat even with the cool tube , so win win IME.....IOW...

For CO2 supplements to be worth the investment from what I`ve seen over the yrs , yas needta run elevated lights on temps and keep RH high as in 70% till end of stretch while maintaining lights on/off temps within 10 degree variables....

With your setup of introducing plants every 2 weeks , I`d suggest the higher temps for the CO2 benefits across the board as long as yas can maintain environment and keep RH under control with the oldest plants finishing that need lower RH levels.......anyways....

God luck Bro......DHF...........

 

[Grizz]

thanks DHF, I did the temp change yesterday, the a/c doesent even hardly kick on now, a/c comes on at 85 and off at 80, humidity is a little low at 65 , with the 4 screens boxed around a 1000 there isent any need for more light, the humidity deal with the perpetual grow is diffacult to deal with but i ran it high in my stadium with no bad effects so hoping it works well in this set up. I already had the controller for the co2 so the only cost was the bottle and refills, do you think the 80 to 85 is good enough or should i let it get up to 90 ??

 

[Grizz]

well the first chop is done, put 8 in flower 65 days ago or so. 4 on the vert screens and 4 in the corners, all plants were put into flower way early just to get some buds done as soon as possible, i had 3 chem sisters, 2 sky walker og, 2 so called pure kush ( not ) and 1 grom, got 3 1/2 oz per plant . the next chop will be in 2 weeks and look alot better and the one 6 weeks away looks to be the best yet as all were vegged longer, i have a friend coming over in a week or so to take some pic's. thanks for all the professional advice

That sister is foul ain't she holmes?? Nice pull joesy

 

[Grizz]

yes she is a good one, it wasent a bad yield but deffinatly needs improvement.

 

[sublimesmoker]

sounds like a good pull man. r u running perpetual? u adding plants every week or something? oh and whats the story on the grom? grapeXrom ?

 

[megayields]

Josey (spit some chaw)....sounds like you did fine (spit)......let us know your final pull numbers...(spit...drool).....pictures speak a thousand words ...(spit)..we are all brothers here in the vert world.

 

[Grizz]

sounds like a good pull man. r u running perpetual? u adding plants every week or something? oh and whats the story on the grom? grapeXrom ?

yeah sub im trying to put 8 in every 3 weeks, 3 1000's , 8 plant doughnuts, 4 on vert nets and 1 in each corner , kinda of a square doughnut if you will, sub check phillthy's perpetual grow diary for info on the grom, look on the last few pages

mega you cracked me up (spit ) buzzards gotta eat to , same as worms. spit drool... 3.5 oz average was my final on the first 8. lookin for at least 5 to 6 oz per plant and i will be happy ( maybe) ( spit )

 

[sublimesmoker]

hey joesy, how's the pull on this comparing to the stadium? oh and what medium and how do ya water? i'm really liking the coco so far.

 

[DHF]

Any pull is a good pull Bro......Respect....Did yas ever find out if yas were runnin the D or the Sister.....?.....anyways...3.5 avg is huge.....5-6 sounds even better as shit gets monocropped and dialed , but how long does it take to veg em for those results.... gotta take all aspects into consideration........

Waitin on them kewl pics...

Peace....DHF...........

 

[Grizz]

the pull beats my stadium for sure . coco, hand watered once a day, dutch master gold, canna pk 13/14 week 4 and 5 1100 ppm and 1200 with the pk.

freds i vegged these barley 4 weeks, the ones im putting in now have been vegged almost 8 weeks and are fucking huge, maybe to big, will see if i can control them. all things considered i like this system better than the stadium, less cloning for sure and better yields. im pretty sure it was the sister, i just got the for real, for sure chem d and some other choise cuts so in the future i will be trying the sharon white widow and the bloody mary.

 

[sublimesmoker]

Glad the screens r working for ya's bro. what kinda numbers were u running in ur stadium? my rooms 6'X6' and im gonna shoot for 30 to to 45 on three levels instead of the 10 to 15 on 2. I checked out the grom in philthy's thread and that shit looks dank as hell man, and that chem d sounds nice too.

 

[megayields]

Hey Josey how goes everything..we all need to chip in and get you a cheap digital camera lol would love to see some pics of your setup! Sorry haven't stopped by had some surgery (went well) and just recovering now!

Keep it green brother!

 

[Grizz]

Mega i have a damn camera but belive me i grow better than my photo's. hope you recover fast, i got my little washing machine this week, ran a small batch this morning, works great, thanks

sub i was running 4 rows on each side of my stadium with 8 to 9 plants per row, depending on if i was running kushes or crosses, i really belive mono cropping is the best way to go in a stadium but my greed keeps me with to many damn strains, so i wasent always getting max light to all the plants, the square doughnut really gets light to all 8 plants.

 

[sublimesmoker]

yeah i like my variety too bro, so i don't know how the stadium will work for me either. right now i'm just veggin and cloning what ever I can get my hands on trying to find that special girl for the flower room. it just take a while with seed and not quality clones.
