Here you go guys, long time lurker...

About the room: 10x10ft with 2 4x8ft beds... each bed has 2600 W of mixed spectrum (2kw hps , 600 mh)
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]

24k Aura minisplit doing the heavy lifting it gets hot here in the summer


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Titan controls Saturn 3 doing the environment controlling... Dialed in at 85 degrees, 55 % humidity / 1500 PPM Co2 during day.... 75degrees / 45 % rh at night


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Here's 20 pre 98 Bubba and White Fire Og in 5 gallon pots of FFoF with a layer of EWC....
growing with pureblend / big bloom / liquid karma / ful-humix
17 Days since 12/12 flip
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]


Last run around I was around 1.5 per light with a psuedo sealed set up with 4kw and a portable A/C, gonna be really interested in how effective a true sealed set up is in comparison..

All these ladies had a 35 day veg time, topped at 10 inches tall and transplanted from 1 gallons into 5 gallons where they vegged for a week before the flip... I will be trellising / staking these plants soon enough as well

I am using magnetic ballasts this run as I have always enjoyed their reliability (had a few digitals shit on me in the past).. wondering if switching to some nice quantums would help get me to the 2 per light mark...

last run I had a couple plants near the 6 OZ mark in 5 gallon pots... would also like to tip that mark as well

Thanks for stopping in any comments/ recommendations appreciated.. I have another room that I would like to flip that is IDENTICAL in equipment to this room, so anything that you guys would like me to test I can probably do that as well

I am running c02 from the tank still, haven't gotten the balls to get a burner set up as the summers here are hot and I feel the minisplit will be working overtime come summer time... but we will have to see , these aura systems are supposed to work with 6kw at 85 degrees with 60 % rh

I put my largest plants (wifi) on the outsides which mimmicks a half pipe sorta, just trying to maximize my canopy ... Since the wifis grow so crazy I don't want them to block out light to the Bubbas
 
I like the setup. Not sure that mh is helping though. Stick another hps in there, might help with the over gpw. However 1.5 per is still very respectable. Stick to the tanked co2. The burners to me are not worth the added heat especially in summer. Can't wait to see how this thread turns out. Good luck amigo

you might be right, but as of right now those are some of my best looking plants... they are only a few feet off my hps so I will play it out for now. If i notice lower duffing out a little I will definitely switch out for 600s

I got a couple 600w hps's to switch out during next lights out... in the meantime here are a couple of pics at day 20

Bubbas are starting to fill in nice

Here's one of OGRaskals' White strawberry Coughs I have in the room, she's huge and covered with nice sites.



Today I kept the feeding simple... Big Bloom / CaMg+ / Trinity / Ful-humix .... mainly just to make sure the herd is doing fine (probably overkill since there is a good inch of EWC on top of the pots)

23 days since I flipped, heres a few updates:

I went ahead and trellised everything as most of these guys usually tip without being staked.

I also went ahead and switched out the MH 600s for HPS 600s.

Next question I have is... should I just pull the glass off the blockbuster hoods? How much will this increase my lumens / or will the bare bulbs create too much heat for the nearby colas? Keep in mind I'm not venting them.

Enjoy the pictures , please comment , help me when you see fit!

Here's the wifis in the background

dude take the glass off for sure. Yes your losing lumens,-- but also the heat has less space to escape causing it to build up and your canopy is probably hotter than running just a hood bulb setup.

unless your cooling bulbs with cold outside air, go bare.


----also, your room is rockin. I only run Ogs and was thinkin bout throwin some bubba in the mix. Lookin forward to end result;...

Hey guys, just figured I'd check in again to see if there was still interest!


Day 30 right now... Switched over to Earth juice Bloom and catalyst 2 days ago and hit em with a healthy dose of Microblast , and am going to ride 'em out until a week before harvest with the Earth Juice products. I'd say they are starting to stack up pretty decent, maybe a little ahead of what I am used to..

Here's a quick glance at the room


Pulled off the glass as well, had a couple bleached tops going on by the time I got it off ... and in retrospect shoulda been more progressive with my topping / supercropping on some of the wifis that reached up to the lights.

Speaking of the wifis... remember this one? she has a dozen or so footlong colas forming!


Here's her other side


A couple of nug shots.


And 1 without flash...


As I am becoming more comfortable with plant nutrition in general... I am thinking that the bubbas could use a little more nitrogen than the Wifi's next time I run them together, and that I should be more proactive with the Microblast throughout stretch and early flower... I probably had some sort of microdeficiency forming because they responded immediately after the previous watering with 1tsp / gal of Microblast.

Enjoy and thanks for tagging along

Great job on that WiFi I just put some outdoors and they are looking great. Hopefully I can get some monster colas like those.

Thanks guys, not my best definitely see where I can make improvements, I think 20 plants of this size were too much for the room possibly. Gonna put 16 in the next one!

Day 35, also Day 1 of the flip flopped 5200 room... running 12 Wifi and 4 bubbas in that room, gonna have a little more spacing on the plants... here they are, room is same exact specs except this time the 600 is against the far walls opposed to in between the two 1000s. Also they are ushio 600s instead of the cheaper plantmax ones i opted for in the other room

All these plants were planted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest and topped with an inch of EWC, they will be fed Pureblend Pro Grow / CaMg+ / ProTekt Silicate for the first 10 days of stretch.




Here's some more pics of things at day 35, they are starting to plump a little bit...I am very tempted to throw in some MOAB as I have heard great things, but am pleased with the health of everything so far.

A pic of that wifi that I have been snapping every once in a while... You can really see the progression from day 17, to day 30, to where I am at now at 35


Close up no flash


Also here is White Strawberry Cough, haven't photographed her much but here's a good shot
