Back to your magical mystery marijuana manufacturing machine for a moment, Wavegem- do you just run this one room for 12 hours and that's it, or do you have another room on the flip?

Yes two rooms pretty much identical except one room 8 plants one room 16 plants. The idea is to keep them one month apart but that is proving difficult

Yep, you're running into similar issues as I had. I had to shitcan the idea of matching up with the calendar and design my own interval. I chose 16 days x 4 = 64 days because I wanted to run no strain longer than 9 weeks (63 days), and I wanted to lock my schedule down. This approach was the one that worked for me, as I outlined above. The differences between the setup you have now and what I'm suggesting are really more detail oriented in scope than a big sweeping remodel.

You could even do something very similar by running three bloom batches at 21 days each, it could be as simple as running a wall of light tight material down the middle of your 16 plant room, breaking it into two zones the same size as your third. Yes, it will eventually need it's own environmental control- but not right away. This isn't ideal, as power consumption would double every 12 hours, then halve- but you'd gain some of the benefits.

I've found the four sided flip arrangement to be so efficient that my TWO TON chiller keeps up with 16kW of total bloom, dehuey, and chills every RDWC site in the system- veg included. The only time it fails to keep up with the load is when outside temps exceed 80 F, which of course gets dicey in the summer. I'm currently adding another 2 tons of chilling to solve that problem- and to handle my upgrade to bare bulb vertical trees, one zone at a time.

I went ghost for a little while and did not finish this thread. I had some employee issues, so I took over everything and am doing it myself for now. Fucking kids don't want to work just want to smoke. I am on caps bennies for all my systems and it's working great. I am currently filling this room up with sour dawg which I am stoked about, this pheno looks professional. I won't be on as much but I will post pics of this plant as it matures.

I recently had a supposed friend take my work and whore it out with the rest of the world so I am more reluctant about helping anyone anymore.

Thanks guys for your interest

What are the tubes that go around your bulbs in the main flower room? Are they air cooled?

Sorry to hear about your headaches and backstabbers it seems the world is full of both. Keep your head strong and focused and don't let someone else's actions dictate yours, I know people play the good as fools sometimes but if we all become takers of the world there will be nothing left. Thanks for the help and knowledge you have brought to the farm. I for one am greatfull. Peace, and I do hope to see some shots of what those stainless buckets are doing...

Man that took a while. One harvest to be exact. Jeez. I was being tested everyday these past two months. Nobody taught me anything except what I read and that was the problem, figuring everything out for Myself. I was building 3 new rooms, working on my own crosses, pheno hunting a hundred plants running these 2 rooms and taking care of patients. My head hurt so bad, I remember throwing up in the morning cause of the stress. I woke up to powdery on my giant trees and I straight up cried. These 16 plants had a root aphid explosion Along with my veg room. I got drunk every night in my misery. Lol I don't want you guys to feel bad for me, cause the light is shinning, my dad told me that I just have to go through this. I feel much better now, more confident and ready to KILL it, straight massacre these bitches.

Cap your method works every time. I hate grow rocks, I love coco no stall ever, no root issues ever because it's elevated above the water line. I mixed og biowar nute pack in the coco and brew tea, crown feed every day till roots hit the water. Then I slam with Epsom salt and hormex roots fill these buckets so fast. Bam I can't wait to smoke this sour and see the faces of people when they see this shit!

Put a layer of insulation board across the top of each of those sites and it will make a noticeable difference, perhaps a bigger one than doing the sides- which looks great, btw!

If you're not in hydroton, what medium are you using? I AM having a bit of trouble with stall and I'm trying to narrow down causes.

What up Wav! Thanks for posting, that room looks great!! I am have started my girls in my net pots with coco and hydro ton mix before entering the UC for this next round. Is this what you did and it worked good? I have been wanting to try this method and just dropped my ..... well hydroton... ;) this method if works good should be great for crown feeding as well, I would think..
