What up IC?! A little introduction, if y'all don't mind.
This will be my second attempt at growing vertical. Started with 3x 400w stacked, got a couple rounds out of a perpetual grow, and then I got a little tip-off, so I tore my shit down, and was raided shortly after. Did a little time, but thankfully I avoided the worst of it.
Just finished up my first grow since then, just tryin' to refresh my memory a little on growin'. Just harvested and jarred up my last crop - had to chop 'em down early and only managed .4 GPW, so I'm looking to fix that this time around.
Now, I've been lurking this forum, putting some knowledge and ideas together, it's all based around one concept - maximum production of a limited space. So naturally, I turned to vert. This grow will be an ongoing grow over the next 18-24 months. I can tell you exactly what's going to happen in these cabs right now:
I will be monocropping some of Karma Genetics gear. I will be pheno hunting 1 strain at a time, either 2 or 3 strains. Selecting a mother of each, and then monocropping on a rotation for a little variety. Monocropping will allow for maximum production - something I demand with a very limited area. I may grow out some freebies to take up space as necessary, but that'll be the extent of variety.
Environment control will be a battle for me - this grow is taking place in a garage. I will strive to achieve perfectly dialed conditions that are necessary for maximizing each strains potential.
Now a little details about the grow:
I will be constructing a cab that is roughly 10' x 4' x 6.5'
The cab will house two 4x4 flower chambers and a single 2x4 veg chamber, as well as a utility chamber.
Lights: First run, I'll be using 400w per flower cab, on a flip/flop. I'll be stacking 400's once I'm running clones. 800w is a perfect 50w per sqft. 4ft 6 lamp T5 for veg. Clone under CFL separately.
Medium: Organic soil mixture. Will edit once I decide what I'm using. No fancy pots or anything, standard grow bags.
Ventilation: 6" Inline (400 cfm), 6" Phresh filter. 4" Inline (172 cfm), 4" Phresh filter. Passive intake.
Strains: Karma Genetics
