Few Pics Of Grow From Start Till Now

ButYou'll never regret building a proper setup and having quality equipment. I'm surprised that you chose to go with such a huge scrog to start with though. I don't think you understand just how much work you're in for with that many plants in one scrog and I hope you have enough wattage in your lights to cover it all. The size and density of your buds is directly proportional to how much good strong lighting they get during flower. I proved this when we doubled our lighting in the flower room from 2,000 to 4,000 watts of hps a while back. Looks like you've done a beautiful job so far and I congratulate you on that. In the beginning, we laid down 5K just to get a very basic setup going...like you, we went all in and covered ourselves safety wise as well as chose only quality grow equipment. Since then, I've easily put another 6 or 7K into the thing and other than a couple of little tweaks here and there I have in the works along with adding a few LEDs into the mix this summer just for the added light spectrums, I pretty much have a grow palace now. You'll find that you never have enough space. Your plants are going to double or triple in size during the flower cycle and the more wattage you have hanging over them, the more vigorous the growth you will have. So be prepared to spend a ton of time in that room messing with those plants. LOL I have found that 1 1000 watt hps light can handle about 6 plants...and that's pushing it and requires constant rotation for even light disbursement. So just make sure you've got enough lighting over them to get as much out of them as possible. But you will get more bang for your wattage with a scrog. Good luck!! TWW

 

I think this going to be dope, mainly for the pure joy of having your own lab but even better if you get your 6 G's back after this first grow. Good luck man, digging your investment.

 

damn that's a sweet setup I wish I had one pimped out like that LOL.

 

Like above posters said it's a lot of work but I have no doubt you will get good results from the quality of the equipment and enviornment you have. You took a LOT of time clearly to set this all up which is more than what most people who are starting out can say. Even if it takes you several harvests to get your yields tuned in, you will still get respectable yields with all that light and space + the SCRoG.

The quality will be awesome though regardless as long as the plants are cared for properly and the genetics are decent.

 

I would aim for at least 4 oz per plant with that setup for a beginner, but you could pull 8-12 oz per plant with all that for sure.

Root space plays a big part in yield, I can generally get 8 oz per plant from 10 gallon container if the plants do well (under a 600 W).

More light is almost always better if you can get 2kw in there without affecting the temps negatively you should go for it.

EDIT: in terms of the actual lights though the higher wattage the light the more lumens you are getting in the footprint. You can get more light than a 1000 watt with 2 600s but they wont have as much concentrated light as the 1kw light. More lumens is more growth, fatter buds, etc.

 

They are just fine, I've turned mine on to clean out my room for about an hour and didn't find seeds or have any other problems

You have to stress them pretty bad or they have to be genetically predisposed to herm, I've heard people who said the little red light on their fan caused their plants to herm, it's just not possible, if that were the case the moon would cause all marijuana plants to herm. Now if you flip the light on constantly at night, you could stress them and they'll herm but every now and then for a minute won't hurt anything

you either need shit genetics or to fuck up real bad to get hermie plants.

occasionally some genetics will pop a few male flowers at the end of it's life cycle, but they usually don't last long enough to pollinate, or if it does you will get a couple seeds per ounce but nothing serious.

u should be good don't worry about hermie. u really gotta mess up to get em

 

You should be good, I wish I had that setup. I run 1-600watt and I grow enough to smoke all I want. I don't sell but I don't have to worry about running out. If you want quality bud around here you have to grow your own. Looks good

Honestly I don't know for sure, I don't own a pair of scales and I do a perpetual grow where I harvest 1 plant every 15 days. If I had to guess, I would say a pound easy from 1-600 watt light but some say you should get 1 gram per 1 watt of hps. Yield has a lot of factors involved, what strain, how long you veg, soil vs. hydro, co2, so no one will be able to predict your yield exactly, after you grow them a few times and get a feel for them, you should be able to get a good idea of what to expect.

Oh yeah advanced nutrients is one of the best, I grew with them my first grow, i switch from Chem fertilizer in coco to homemade organic soil a few months ago and my plants never looked better, but you have a great nutrient line up there. I would recommend you use that until you get the feel for growing, then start making your own soil, it seems complicated at first but the plants will love you for it. Organic for quality Chem for quantity,
