Things are looking on point man. Really nice looking veg plants. I'm getting ready to change over part of my room from ebb and flow hydro, to hand watered in a happy frog/promix medium.
I'm having the same dilemma as you. Too many nice strains to pick from with what the space allows. I have 2 1000's above an area that's 4'x8'. I'm thinking about putting about 40 plants under it in 3 gal grow bags with about 2 gallons of medium in them. Maybe less depending on how it looks once I get it set up and how big the vegging plants are. Trouble is I have about 80 teens to pick from. Decisions, Decisions. Prolly gonna have to run quite a few deadhead's as mine yields really well like yours does, and it's super potent. Once I have some pics I will throw them up.

Yeah, too many trolls in the other forums lol...
I have two 15' x 40' plots to fill this year. One of them is in super silica rich sandy soil in an old quarry, that should be off the hook! Whatever plants are left in my veg table will be going into 2 gallon grow bags in the next week or so. I have a covered patio, with a skylight, shade cloth on the sides, and supplemental lighting to prevent flower. Right now there are two 4x4 tables set up, but I will likely be setting up a couple more 2x4 tables.
My plan is to run as much Blue Dragon as early as I can, since I know I can chop her before Sept. 1st, then run as many elites as possible with space remaining.
The second plot may be a one time only deal, but the one at the Lab will be converted to a GH by the end of the season.
Second room loaded!

I cleaned all the glass on the reflectors (likely for the first time ever...), and loaded all 24 sites. I decided on 8 SSOG, 8 Headband, 4 Deadhead, 2 Tahoe, and 2 WiFi Alien.
The SSOG have been chomping at the bit based on the roots...
Whole room. SSOG in back center, Headband on left, Tahoe/WiFi Alien next to SSOG, and DHOG in bottom right corner.

Sorry for crappy pics, didn't check to see what the settings were before I took them...
Next up this weekend will be building the screens. This room is not scheduled to flip until the end of March, so I should have plenty of time to fill the screens this run.

Arminus are you sticking with jacks or are you developing a new recipe. I'm itching to make the jump from soil to Hydro or Coco. I like the simplicity of jacks. I'm nervous about the change. I got alot riding on my crops.
Sticking with Jacks, and killing it. Resin at 20 days definitely raised my partners eyebrows. He was using the full H&G line, and spent hundreds per round with all the additives. There are still enough of the over priced bottles to do a run or two, but I just don't want to waste my time. Plus, I will be damned if I buy a bottle if I run out mid run... I am on municipal water that is relatively hard at 0.8 EC. I was nervous to use the same strength I was used to, but I have been feeding at 2.2 - 2.4 with absolutely no tip burn.
I will be going back to RO though. I just don't trust municipal water, and it may get harder yet with the drought...
I installed the screens in Bravo, and will try to get pics up after I walk my dog.
Screens are up, and weaving has begun!

I got the third screen in last night, and started weaving branches. I have 2 more weeks before the scheduled flip, so the screens should be nearly full by the flip.

Rereading Jackmayoffer's thread, and took a page from his book with training.

Nursery Update! Glue included...

Took the first cuts off my GG#4 cuts the other day. I am hoping the laterals will be ready soon, just need another node or two...
The outdoor veg area is almost cleared out and ready for plants. This whole table will be xplanted into 2 gallon grow bags with supplemental lighting to delay flower. This table is mostly SSOG, with two rows of Headband.
Mixed bag on this table. There are 10 OGHC that will be going into Alpha in 4 weeks. The plants in 3" blocks will be going outside as well.
Glue table is also a mixed bag. There is everything from Cookies, Strawberry Cough, and SLH.

Going forward, in an attempt to better manage my time, I will be doing once a week photo updates for each room, and ultimately the two outdoor plots. Wednesday (today), is the start of the calendar for Alpha, and today is Day 43.

A Glimpse of Things to Come!
A Glimpse of Things to Come!
Here are a few of the chocolates I have been working on. The Cannabis leaves are made from cocoa powder. These got over dosed, since I was in a kitchen with too many women... The teardrops are about 200 mg, and the square chocolates are close to 400 mg EACH! As a comparison, one square chocolate has the equivalent milligrams as 6 of the competitors chocolate bars. The target was 20 mg per chocolate, and the batch we made yesterday will hit that mark. I have sample boxes on the way, and the labels are being worked on.
I came up on a new close loop system that will do 1.5 to 2 units per run. One of my "patients" thought he would be able to handle this unit, but as a paraplegic, it is too difficult to operate for him. He will be accepting product for payment. I already have lined up 100+ units to process into our Proprietary Cannabis Additive...

closed loop, for the win
great looking garden, arminus.

Bro I think you might have too much volume on your top tube for your recovery pot, maybe you should at least get another 6x6 and add it to the bottom?
Do some math and check it out. I dont know what size it is, but I shoot for at least double volume on the bottom. If you over fill can ruin the seals on your appion which will set you back a couple hundred.

Before I took possession of the unit, we did a test run. After the system was under pressure, and running, he acknowledged, that there may not be enough solvent... Even running a little short on the solvent, the process was very smooth. The system is at max solvent with about 2400 ml (8 cans).
Luckily, I did not have to pay any cash for the unit, and will be paid in full in 1-2 runs.
Maybe the recovery pot looks smaller than it is since I had to stand above the unit to get a good shot.
I think were talking apples and oranges here, but I also noticed your extractor is bhogart style or top down and I am familiar with bottom soak or terpinator style extraction. idfk im just stoned and dont want you to screw up your appion. Like my bro did one drunken eve...
Above is my old extractor, it actually had an additional 6x6 for the bottom that is not in the picture. looks kinda familiar doesnt it....just a few parts switched around really.
What you see is a 3x24 tube up top (acutally two 3x12's connected) and a 6x6 tube on the bottom.
The top and bottom sanitary tube have equal volumes, of 678+inches. thats why I needed the additional 6x6 on the bottom.
In short...The terp is run by filling the top tube completely and then dumping the full tube into the bottom tube.
If I let the top 3" tube fill with butane and tried to dump, it would overflow in the bottom 6x6 tube and oil would get into my appion.
The butane will boil and splash into the line going to the pump and if its liquid it will have hash oil in it still. Not good for the appion,
I have never ran a bhogart but my bros have turned several of them into terps with a few mods.
idk im stoned..jus trying to help
