Hey guys, thanks for reading. I am just getting ramped up and finally starting the journal. Please let me know if there is any information i left out that you would like to know.
Overall setup is multiple tents set up in a room used as a lung that is cooled with a mini split ac. I will try to get a diagram up on here to show the over all layout.
Tent #1 - 5' x 10' grow lab tent.(its actually like 4'9" x 9' 7 or something)
Strain- (16) Dark Star in 3 gallon smart pots
(16) Agent Orange in 3 gal smart pots.
Medium- Canna Coco
Nutrients- Full Canna Line
Lights - (2) 1000 watt epic hoods with eye hortilux mh and super hps.
Fan/Filter- 8" max fan with a can 66 carbon.
The filter and fan sit in the back center of the tent at the ceiling. Air is sucked in through the filter and blown through the hoods and exhausted into a plenum. Vents near the ground supply intake air.
Temperature- during lights on maxes out at 77, during lights out drops to 70. Finally dialed that in pretty good
Rh- hangs right around 45 -50, a little bit higher right after watering.
The plants were veg'd under 18 hr mh for 21 days, and the lights were switched to 12/12 2 weeks ago. Verticle growth appears to have just stopped. And full flowers are showing on the tops. I have just switched the bulbs to hps today.
The dark star has been tied down a little due to the height restriction of the tent. But i would say the plants are about 4' tall after being tied down.
I will post pictures tomorrow, its a big day... starting tent #2. Same lighting and venting set up, but there is (2) 4' x 4' flood tables. Each table will hold (36) 2 gallon pots filled with hydroton for a total of 72. Gonna try sea of green kinda. Clones are all rooted and will be put in the table tomorrow.
The situation with the clones is a little sketchy. I made a rookie mistake last week and unplugged the cloner for maintenance and forgot to plug it back in. So there is gonna be a bunch of different strains on the tables. I had to scramble to fill it. They will include- dark star, agent orange, og kush, holy grail kush, 2 phenoms of the purps. I know differnt strains on a sea of green set up isnt ideal, but like i said i had to scramble.
Tent #3 will hopefully be set up in about 3 or 4 weeks. The plan is to do the flood tables in that one but gonna try 80 per table single cola in 5" pots. Plants will only veg for 10 days.
This is really an experiment to see what yields more. Last time i did all six lights together in one area, with 9 plants in 5 gallon buckets of coco under each light. I averaged 2 1/4 lbs per light. So if i can cut down on veg time and jam them in and yield the same or more im gonna go for it.
Between all the scenarios my money would be on the 5"pots doing the best for total yield
