14 days flowering

14 days flowering

just got back to the farm after a nice holiday break

everything was cool while i was gone for a week. no equipment failures, and the plants are really starting to fill up these tents. this OG is very stretchy, grew right through the nets. i'm gonna need another layer of trellis soon.

sorry for the dark pictures, its tough getting a good view in there with my shit camera

here is the experimental sea of green

everything grew 2x in a week, stretched past the nets and really filled up the table nicely. i am loving it, might have to put 50 plants under every light next time.

Plant numbers dictate yield.....bet on it....horizontal or vertical in SOG setups.......

Good luck Bro....Freds........

i am loving it

Hell yeah dude! Looking good. What strains are you trying out in the SOG?

fuck yah so true, i think 150-250 plants per light is probably best but hard to keep up with clones.... you been sayin it for years i know.

that tray is all Hardcore Og

i am so happy with the SOG style that i am setting up another 2kw tent today with 30-50 babies per light

BONUS!!!! Girl Scout Cookies tent

BONUS!!!! Girl Scout Cookies tent

remember a couple weeks ago i said i have some cookies going too?

well here they are, 2 weeks into flowering. same setup as the OG's. 2kw tent with flood trays. Only difference is this tent is a Sunhut not a Gorilla Tent, so the ceiling is only 7' high instead of 8' like in the tent city. Not much to see yet but I am expecting some nice frosty nugs out of here.

I know y'all are here for the 6kw Hardcore OG tent city, but i will keep ya posted on this 2kw GirI Scout Cookies tent as well, since it was put into flowering the same day as the OG's. Sorry for my dark pictures but its hard getting good shots of the tent whether daytime or night because of the reflective walls and my shitty camera.

Moms

Moms

in case anybody is wondering how i do my moms,

i have 9 OG moms and 9 Cookies moms, i keep them in 5gallon smartpots filled with coco, placed in a 3x6 flood table that floods 4x per day. they are under a 600w light that stays on all the time. The 50gallon reservoir is topped off weekly, the only food used is House&Garden Aqua Flakes A&B at 7ml/gallon.

so far they produce about 120 cuttings total every 10 days, that number may double as they get bushier.

that kinda started sounding like a math problem, but yah. i got clones comin out my ass. This picture was taken right before i took cuttings from the moms. they are growing into the low celing as you can see. crazy thing is I ravaged them for cuts just 11 days prior and they grew back this thick already.

Really nice! Can I pull up a chair?

i root my cuttings in 1.5" rockwool cubes. takes about 10-14 days to get full roots.

OG babies ready to rock

these little ones are getting put into new 2kw SOG tent this weekend! stay tuned..

in case you are wondering why a few babies on the top shelf are dead, This is after i came back from week-long holiday vacation. before i left i watered all the red cups thoroughly, 70 out of 100 remained alive and healthy when i got back to the spot yesterday

My clone factory guys in SoCal that`ve supplied the bigger clubs up and down the coast with flats of rooted cuts since the mid 90`s use 3" RW cubes , and pick the best of the best for their flood tables and sell the rest to the clubs on a weekly basis....

They`ve got 10-4x4 tables under 1KW each a week apart in age where they can pull and plant a table every week perpetual , and been pullin 4 lbs EVERY week from each table runnin 256-3" RW cube fully rooted cuts straight 12/12 in each of those 10 flood tables religiously side by side for 1/4 oz+/- budsicles ...so......

For all you math challenged stoners/dabsters , that's 208 lbs a yr+/- from 10KW , and only gotta process 4 lbs at a time for babyshit simple turnover.....IOW.....

Work smarter not harder......anyways...IF yas could consistently root enough cuts ta pick the best and cull the rest where yas could start a table every week for 10 weeks , once all ducks were in a row and the ball`s rollin , strain dependent and runs under yer belt pulls 2-4 lbs a week FOREVER , instead of havin ta fuck with waitin 3 months ta pull a crop even after couple weeks of rootin the cuts and then straight flip 12/12...regardless....

Keep up the killer work Shcrews....You`re getting there fo sho....

Peace....Freds..........

That sounds like a fucking amazing system i think you have told me about it before but i forgot they were cloning in 3" cubes and flowering them too. do you know what strain(s)?

After this cycle i could do just that... run 10kw and flip a tray every week the tough part is keeping up on the clones, i would need another 2kw just for moms. but i am running 12 lights at this location so the math works out

only problem is after this cycle the weather is gonna change and i will need A/C for sure to keep growing indoors. it gets over 100 here so i was just gonna concentrate on outdoor and light dep from march - september. but i will keep that in mind for my next indoor cycle definitely. 256 plants per light sounds like crushing it.

snapped some pictures when the lights went on. OGs have doubled in size in the past 10 days. Good thing the gorilla tents have 8' ceilings!

weaving cookies, day 16

weaving cookies, day 16

so this 2kw cookies tent is stretching like crazy, and i decided to play around a little bit with the trellis

so i completely weaved the right side of the tent, and left the other side alone completely to stretch as they want.

here is the result. cant wait to see the difference once the buds begin to set

 

[testymctester]

This is a great thread! Thanks Shcrews

I thought you were experimenting with other strains over in the SOG. Looks like you're going to be swimming in that Hardcore OG before too long.

Also, lovin those vigorous moms over there and I'm digging the side by side with the cookies. I bet you do better on the right side. Can't wait to see how they finish!

They root in those lil 1" starter plug mats that fit in the 10x20 propagation trays Bro......200 cuts per tray/flat....and...

Straight laboratory conditions with "clean rooms" where they change clothes before goin into the nursery....They use those stainless bakers racks from Costco 2'x4'x6' tall with 5 shelves and cheapass fluorescent 2x4-40 watt shoplites above 2 flats on each level for optimum airflow around the plantlets.....IOW....

2000 cuts per rack , with 25 racks and they`re run perpetual as well so when each rack goes out the door , it`s filled the same day and put back into rotation.....as far as what they ship strain-wise ?....

Every top shelf strain that bring top shelf prices cuz that`s what they fill those flood tables with at another place that ain`t ever been caregiver licensed that I know of , but production has been strong and consistent for almost 20 yrs for their old ass hippie OCD mad scientist asses....

Once the keeper plugs are fully rooted , they`re transported to the remote location and plugged into the 3" cubes w/holes and immediately flipped 12/12.....every week religiously.....anyways.....

If yas dig the ease of tables and can maintain the clone factory , there`s not an easier way ta bring home the bacon than with mega cuts and RW cubes once ph`ed and dialed.....

Good luck with the upcoming outdoor and light dep as well Bro.....but....dial that indoor environment and put a/c , foggers , dehueys , and whatever it takes ta pull those mega cut tables if yas can gear up for it.....

Ebb and flow tables and buckets are as close to bulletproof if ever a setup there was.....and....for the record......

Ain`t no different from runnin stacked bare bulbs with cages , racks , or coli setups with mega cuts cuz there`s many ways ta skin a mule.....

Hope all ducks fall in a row for yas this yr my buddy , now get backta work.........

Peace....Freds.........

Tent City residents @21 days...

the OG is stretching like crazyyy. some serious legs on these chicks. and im not even gonna shave them

Got a little bit of tip-burn on the leaves cuz i took off for xmas and new years and didn't refill the rezervoirs for 2 weeks. i knew i was pushing it, usually I top off the rez's every 7 days.

I just refilled all 6 rez's, used 8ml/gallon of H&G Aqua Flakes and 4ml/gallon of H&G Multi-Zen

very happy with these tents so far, everything is running like fucking clockwork. harvest in 6 weeks.
