Well hello folks! Just to fill everyone in that did not follow my last grow, im going big lol! A good friend of mine and i are going in together and growing some danky mc'danksome. this will probly be a large post so buckle up grab a drink and some pop corn and follow along.

lights: four 1000w hortilux Super HPS for flower with fresca sol water cooled
system and fresca sol reflector

the ballast are going to be 4 infinity 1000 watt switchable running on
120v. the 4 lights will be split into two separate 20amp breakers so if
something happens with two we still have 2000 watts running.the
chiller for the lights will either be a 1/3 to 1/2 hp with a 50 to 100gl
res.

as of right now two 8 bulb t5 light systems from sunleaves.com from what i can remamber they put out about 80-90,000 lumen each.

now the final two are special. we recieved these ladies from a local reputable breader. the first is;
mr.E - which is og x and diesal
the second is;
48 gods - which is ak-48 x gods gift
these two are in soil for now, but as soon as we get a good clone from each we will be going hydro on thier ass.
all of our mothers are grown with mother plant nutrients. and so far they are loving it and it is living up to its claims. there are tons of clone sites with thick healthy stems. i highly recomend this to anyone growing moms.

clones: will be rooted in our 96 site turbo-cloner.

vedge: we will be putting them into our turbo cloner and leaveing them there until flower. the reason for this will be explained in my flowering section.
the moms will be perma-vedged in hydro-farm buckets with the res and circulation kit.

flower: we will be going for a perpetual harvest of 30 or so plants every 4 to 5 weeks so we will be running 2 aero-flo2 30 site systems. now the reason for the short vedge time is because the distance between sites on the aero-flo are only 5 or 6" so we cant have them too big. they will stay in the cloner for about two to three weeks after showing a good amount of roots. we will not be filling all 96 spots on the cloner so i think we have the space. plus the banana grows insanely fast at about an inch to inch and a half a day. it was the same size as the others when we picked her up.

water: we have ourselves our very own 100gpd ro system from hydro-logic and are being monitored by our tri meters

Re: the biginning of the end

Wow, finally someone who has the same nutrient meter as me :P How do you like it so far? Those water cooled lamps are looking some sexy - i'm definitely along for the ride!
 
Re: the biginning of the end

yeah the 4 1000 watter's are all the light were using during flower. i think it should be sufficient for around 60 or so plants at once. ;) thanks for stopping by everyone and sorry for the crappy pics, ive had to take them with my iphone because my camera is broke :(
 
Re: the biginning of the end

I'm in! I love the enthusiasm...go big or go home!! LOL!

Nice setup. I can't wait to see how this grow turns out.

thanks brother! yeah so far im liking it alot. were only using one at the moment. there should be two more in the flower room one per res. i like it because it doesnt take a while to level out. if the water is 7 it reads 7 and doesnt have to work its way to it. real quick.
 
Re: the biginning of the end

So we got up two of the fresca sol's and thier hoods hung. The plumping will be up for them as soon as they are all up. Pictures will be up asap
 
Re: the biginning of the end

update time!! so we had a little bit of an accident last night. i heard a loud bang coming from the vedge room, and when i walked in... well the light tried to murder our bubba. the light came down on one side and crushed her sheering off a few branches one leaving a gaping hole in the main stalk. after about 12 hours the hole is closed up and she is showing no sign of stress from the accident. what have we learned? do not use those shity ass grow yoyos from the hydro store. click here to check them out. what happened was the damn thing pretty much exploded. they were rated for more weight than was on them, there just crappy. the branches that broke off i cut and threw them into the turbo cloner just incase thier mom didnt make it.

so now for the pics.
the first two are what broke off the yoyo causing it to fall

sorry about not having one of the bananas trunk. forgot to take one, but its friggn thick! just check out those roots. we took 35 clones about 4 days ago and they are showing pre roots now and looking healthy.
 
Re: the biginning of the end

Nice grow and setup, How many clones can you run at a time?

its a 96 site turbo cloner so 96 if we wanted to squeeze them in there. there are 38 in there right now. thats including some headband were only trying because the mother wasnt as healthy as it should have been. there the lighter color ones near the center.thanks for stopping by!
