Hello icmag'rs. I'm back. 
Perhaps you recognize me by the looks of my room. If not, I'll look forward to getting to know you. 
ok, here we are picking up at day 19 bloom; garden is 10' long x 2' wide x 8' tall. running two 600 watt high pressure sodium lights. have a can filter 33 (?) small lil bugger mounted near the ceiling. connected the lights to the filter so the dirty air is pulled by a 240ish cfm sunleaves exhaust fan through the filter, then through the lights -- exhausting the heat with the smell using just the one fan (i'm sure everyone does this) to a different area. let's see.. ah medium. i am in the indoor soil forum, of course. lol
my mix is as follows:
- happy frog (60%)
- shredded coco noir -- preferably b-cuzz (30%)
- chunky perlite, or regular if ya cheap (10%)
mix it up in a big rubbermaid tote. for veg i use wormcastings and humboldt bushmaster. i stop the wormcastings a week or so prior to flipping, then switch to high phosphorus bat guano. this stuff called budswell is the shit! but also very expensive. if you do go for it, use it sparingly. honestly it doesn't take much. if more for the economic side, i recommend Sunleaves Indonesian guano. good stuff. basically just something high in phosphorous.
in addition to the guano, i gradually phase out the bushmaster after a week or so (not sure if that is even its intended use lol) while leveling up on the Snowstorm ultra for resin production. two weeks out i cut all nutes except for molasses -- forgot to mention that; tablespoon or less molasses per gallon, all the way through veg and bloom -- anyway, two weeks out nothing in the water except molasses and Gravity. also a humboldt product. i like the simplicity of just using one, maybe two additives at a time. i treat the wormcastings and bat guano as base nutrients for veg and bloom, respectively, then toy with an additive or two if i fancy. if not then you can still grow some killer herb, and lots of it, with nothing but the happy frog/coco/castings/guano mix. keeps it simple.
for water, i use a 10 gallon rubermaid tote purchased for $3 at home depot. put an air stone in the bottom, and a submersible heater from pet smart (make sure it is submersible so you don't electrocute yourself!). the water itself is just tap water through a brita 2 gallon pitcher, then into the tote to bubble and warm up a bit. that's it. the super genius thing lol is that one day i decided to duct tape a cheap 2 foot shop light to the lid and double the water resovoir as a cloner. i threw a sunleaves float and grow (i swear i'm not a plant for their company lol i notice i use a lot of their stuff like the walmart of grow equipment i think) and thats it. the clones love it, man. love it.
i ended up buying a small strip light T5 for the lid, and mounted it properly without duct tape. the method is so easy. since i'm also taking my usual water out of the tote for watering, it's like flushing the clone water. pulling water out is easy. i have the tote sitting a foot or two up off the floot. i use a quarter inch vinyl tubing to syphon the water into a 5 gallon bucket, wherein i mix the nutes and molasses. then in goes a $20 water pump from the hydro store, with tubing and a foot long piece of pvc pipe attached.
when i insert the pump into the bucket and turn on the power, the water comes up through wand which i just reach in through the lower branches and water the plants without having to pump anything or move the ladies. this works especially nice when you have multiple smaller containers instead of bigger and fewer containers.
there is a co2 boost bucket in the corner, and temps are around 75-80 constantly. i think that about covers the small talk.
genetics:
bk x dc is cannacopia, vtw and chtw are reeferman strains originally but bred by a friend of mine (you are the shit man) who hooks me up with bomb ass genes.
enjoy the pics. i'll get some detailed and better ones up soon enough. thanks for coming along my friends!
