Here we go with the Winter grow... changes this round are few but important! First and foremost, I am using CO2 enrichment via a CAP GEN-1NG(Natural Gas) with 4 Burners, and a CAP PPM-3 CO2 Monitor/Controller. While this room is hardly sealed, my calculations tell me it doesn't matter. I do not have to worry about changing tanks, so I just let the Generator burn. It's on/off ratio is around 90|10 . I installed a new gas line, to code, and there was hardly any hangups... pretty ez!

Second, I am back on my normal hydroponic regime:
GH Flora Series(Lucas), Hydrogaurd(5ml/gal), Hygrozyme(5ml/gal), and Fulvic Acid(2ml/Gal).


The Setup
Four 600w magnetic ballasts running GROWBRIGHT lamps, 95,000 lumens(3rd and final run with these bulbs)
Four Daystar AC hoods, running an aircooled closed circuit.
Two 3'x6' Tables
Two 70 gallon reservoirs
a massive irrigation dripper system...del Krowmobe


The medium, and Density
I will be running the krowmobe rockwool setup once again. 4" cubes on the 1'x3' slabs. 9 plants per light, 18 per table. 2 dripper stakes deliver top-feed nutrient to each plant every other day. Irrigation is every other day for 10 minutes throughout the entire cycle. The entire table is flushed every 2 weeks with PH 5.9 tap water. Without the flush, crop failure ensues... salt buildup in rockwool is incredible.

Genetics
18 Pot of Gold , entire left side table
9 Cinderella99, back right side light
8 Chocolate Chunk, forward right side light
1 Granddaddy Purple, forward right side light, in the middle of the Chunk

Yet again, testing the GDP, this time with similar stretching strains ( I hope!) The GDP is in the hot seat on the forward right side lamp, and I will be pruning around her to ensure she get's an unfair advantage... ain't life a bitch? The Chocolate Chunk was given to me by a trusted source, so we'll see how she grows and decide if we will keep her...!


All Pics Are DAY 9 BLOOM!

POG


Both tables, all trimmed up...



Just finished the lower budsite, crouded branches, and weak branches trim up. This I feel was a pretty aggressive trim, but I always say that, and it's never enogh in the end! So, I will be watching these girls and they will probably get another trim at the start of week 3. Last time I had half the crop's weight go to popcorn/hash pile.... bummer man!

wow man, awesome setup!

Yes very nice set up and a nice selection of strains too!
Good luck with the grow!

clean!!!

I dont understand peoples dislike for popcorn bud, is it more of a bag appeal thing than a personal smoking thing?

[sensirocker]

Hell yes Neptune!!! I just spent the last hour looking at your II and III grows (very very impressed at your grow room, organization and design!), and then i just stumbled on this thread, started today!!! How random!!!
Definitely taking a seat!
I must say that i am a huge fan of that Pot of Gold of yours.... especially after seeing the progression in the 2nd and 3rd grows, very impressive.
I am kinda curious about the GDP in your 2nd grow because it didnt turn purple did it? Here is a picture of my GDP day 33:



I cannot WAIT to see what that co2 does to the POG!!!!!

Cheers,

sensirocker

also, what do you think about those growbright lamps compared to hortilux? i was thinking about getting a growlight for my 1000w hps because they were pretty cheap on ebay....

[MID TOWN]

good to see ya startin up again. i'll be watchin.

Your doin your thang!


Peace, Willie!

[BluntItUp]

Good shit man! How long have you been using the co2? Also any difference with co2 and without?

Joining a bit late but got a seat on the first page... er, front row.

Which C99?
