hey GC :wave:, this is my first grow journal so i hope i dont leave anything out... i have been growing off and on since 05 i started doing outdoor soil grows then moved indoors. i have been a solid hydro grower since 07. growing is my passion i just love this plant. ok so heres my gear..

Flower room

currently running dual 400 what hps with air cooled hoods. 1 yeild master 6 in supreme and not sure about other hood got it second hand. eye hortilux high performance bulbs. my daul 600 sysem is currently not running croped that side.i have a 6 in blockbuster and a raptor hood with 6 in ecopluse inline fan too pull air through, no carbon filter im legal so i just keep air flow up and it keeps smell down

veg room is t5s and a few t8s just love them for veg great root growth.my flower room is divided in to 2 spaces. 400s on one side and 600s on other so i can veg an additional 7 days or so in flower room to scrog them out before i flip the switch.

the plants... currently flowering 1 la woman and 1 northern lights. In veg 2 la woman's, 1 northern lights and i just poped 2 white widow fem seeds to try to redeem it. i was disappointed with the strain when i first grew it. didn't live up to its hype.

my base nutriants are supernatural brand. grow aqua for veg and bloom aqua for flower. i use a few addatives big bud,overdrive, banana manna,budblaster and sometimes alittle h2o2. heres a couple pics first 2 are befor i fliped the switch and others 2 are 17 days after 12/12. ill post some fresh pics of both veg and flower rooms tomorrow hopefully. Peace

Hey man this looks great. You have exactly what I want to be able to upgrade to. The whole upstairs of my house is in need of renovation ( a good couple hundred square ft in bedrooms ) but I only got a 4x4 tent setup right now, anyways so I was thinking after I outgrew my tents I would just make something like this. And you have a constant cycle of veg to flower? Ah man you got it made lol! Love the setup man im subscribed.

BTW thanks for the help with the scrog question ill be posting pics tonight of how i maguyvered my 1 inch hole chicken wire

hey man thanks for the good vibes.nice yeah i would be up there with a sludge hammer if i was you gettin it ready:smoke:... just keep at it and everything else will fall into place. i started in a closet went to a tent and then.... it becomes a second job but i love it would'nt trade it. this setup is working nicely not a bad route to go. i have 2 flowering rooms. one is 5by 8 (screen is 4by8) and the one thats going now i think its 6.5 by 3.5 ft screen. my clone and veg room is 6 by 4 so i can keep a flow of clones and veg plants so i have like a week or 2 between flowering to spred the plants out on the screen to stay 100% legal. i used to do 1 hug flower room, but i prefer having a harvest every month. instead of 1 big one every 2 months so i just keep one room about 1 month behind the other.my patients will never run out this way.no problem more then happy to help when i can. i couldnt have done it with out the help so i try to give back when i can. i love a good maguyver job im subin if im not already.good luck peace

hey bro:wave: thanks!iv been workin hard. yeah i got some more strains. i smoked some shit that was called pineapple from a friend and it was so fucking good tasting. i asked him to try to find out what it really was. luckily the guy he got it from had a card and i found out it was sweet deep grapefruit from dinafem so i had to pick up a couple packs to get the phenotype.i also picked up some more lemon skunk i wish i would of kept. then the 8 free strains from thseeds and a auto white Russian im not sure about . i think it was worth it for all the freebies cuz ill at least pop heavy duty fruity and darkstar sometime. its driving me crazy that i can only pop 2 of the sweet deep grapefruit. damn mature plant limits!!

thanks for for stoppin by:wave:.this northern lights is from pyramid seeds i have grown both nirvana's and pyramids. they are very similar.pyramids is more of a diesel smell not as neutral as nirvana's in my experience. i selected the best one out of 5 to clone.im very happy with it.the crystals really help fill the bubble bags:smoke:

update time for veg room its been 2 weeks took a few fresh pics. forgot to snap one of the other la woman clone:bongin:... i made a change to my flower room when i was at hydro store picked up another 600 watt hps balast and bulb. took my switchable 400w out. so its a 1000 watts now hopping it will increase my yeild. i think im gunna get a mh bulb so the 400w just doesn't sit around unused....cant have that pulse im sure my veg room wont mind.

pic 1 is the one white widow im keepin . pic 2 northern lights pic 3 la woman and last is both. you can kinda see the nl is has alittle bit of a deficiency. not bad just alittle color difference. upped my ppm so it should be normal tomorrow:rolleyes:. the first run i got it so i know how to fix it. peace GC :smoke:

hey bro:wave: thanks for stoppin by and the good vibes. im loving 600s i put it in befor mid flower so im hoping it will help the swell. the last run with the dual 600s was just shy of 40 oz not trained or clones so i was not expecting that from some nl seeds and lemon skunk. i think you would benefit from one mostly the end product is just denser and better.they run hotter but it looks like you can manage heat just fine. i went with them simply because they are more efficiant then 1000w 140,000 lumens * 2 is 280,000 and 4* 95000 lumens is 380,000 L thats like 100,000 L more with only an extra 400w running, so if your in it for the long hall go with 600s. thats my justification for buy 600s when the ballasts are the same price as 1000s. hope i didnt fuck the math up:smoke:. peace bro happy growin
