    i plan on rooting 6-7 plants every two tweeks and harvesting any where from 4-7 ounces every 2 weeks is my goal, not to shabby.

    my plants in the flowering room will be set up similar to this...


    [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 8+ weeks
    [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 6-8 weeks
    [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 4-6 weeks
    [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 2-4 weeks
    [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 0-2 weeks

    hopefully my plants will be ready for harvest around week 8 to save some space but if not it wont be a problem i have enough room in case worse comes to worse :)
     
  5. i have been thinking and i will be vegging with a T5, flowering with a 600w hps, i will have about 3.5'x3x6 for the flowering space so It will be a tight squeeze, but i figured i could do 6 or 8 bigger plants, although with only probably a 5.5-6ft lamp height i will have to keep the plants relatively low so maybe i would be better off going with 10 or 12 smaller plants, any suggestions???How would you utilize that space, you seem to have an efficient system

  7. Nice setup there Foxy G!

    We've got identical grows going, 600WHPS inline 440 CFM 6in AC hood, FFOF & nutes and 2xUVB 10.0 that were just delivered today. The only exception being the genetics(WW, OG kush currently), the quantity(5 rows of 4) and I've got mine rigged for CO2 enrichment. I may or may not run CO2 depending on how often I'll need to run the exhaust(465cfm) to keep temps within acceptable range. I just revamped my setup for this perpetual grow and the weather has been unusually cool lately so I haven't had a chance to check temps on a warmer day.

    Couple questions for ya:

    How far from the tops do you have your UVB bulbs? I heargood things but I've never run UVB so I'm curious to see how it turns out for the both of us.

    What size is your flower chamber?

    I will definitely be pulling up a chair on this one.

    Thanks for checking in!
    -My flowering room is 4 foot width, 5 foot length, and 8 foot height.
    -Right now i'm only using 3x5 ft worth of space, love the extra walking room!
    -My UVB right now currently are 1.5 away from the tops of my canopy, i've been experimenting here and there with different measurements such as 1.5 ft - 2 ft haven't noticed much, because i don't have much to compare too! but the plant's around the lights are 10-20% more frostier! lol
    -My 600watt is as close as i can get to my plants with out discomfort (i can move it in pretty close) for good penetration.
    -The temps in my flowering room i've notice in the winter ranges from 65-75 deegrees, and right now in Feb ranges from 75-85 deegrees.

    Edit: lemme know any conclusive results you find experimenting w/ your UVB's i haven't quite mastered mine yet, but am seeing good results!

    I'm also looking into CO2 enrichment, i link was requested to me a while back i found it to be some good information here it is, if you wanna take a quick look through it..

  11. looking good gramps...
    those are som elong lean girls you have there, that single cola apporach interest me...
    very nice...
    I do have a question for ya..
    with that flood table and the girls going in at differenmt times whats your plans for nute levels? As i have tried this and found it very difficult to give my girls what they require without hurting the newly arrived girls....

    looks great though man... :D

    Thanks for checkin in! the eb and flow table was a suggestion for a hydro grower, im running all rose pots and Fox Farm soil mix, alot easier to control which plants get certain nutes and what not, my new clones are showing some sighns of stretching there kinda far from the 600watt it's getting super crowded ;)

    But i haven't started my actually "Harvest every two weeks grow" juss yet, im still waiting on my seeds to come in, and to chop all my plants from my earlier grow down (gotta clear space for the new grow) :D, i've been expirmenting with my clones seeing which main cola style cuts works best for them as you can see lol i'm seeing some good results can't wait to chop everything down and set-up a nice smooth system!

    :smoke:
