we were in cups for less than a week and in two gallon bags for about 3 weeks, we let em settle in the airpot for about two days before black out the room and flipping...

ya, we love that individual attention, but there is a point in expanding that we can only spend so much time watering so eventually we're setting up an automated irrigation system

thanks bro, we figured we'll pull a run ot two and then setup the drip and get another house at the same time... and ya we're drain to waste, for now we have to manually pump out the few gals of run-off, with a small pump, but it works for now

ya, this first run will be alot, hopefully 18+ ps, but after that we'll be chopping two 4x8s every three weeks...
me and my brother can knock out around a pound and hour dry trim and we always flip again the same day we chop so its alot but we live for it... and it always pays off like any true hard work... all of this came from a simple closet grow in a small aprtment years ago..

we never aircool, (except veg)... we've learned that you loose more light thru the glass and its harder to control high humidity problems... we still have our lights close and with all these adjust-a-wing hoods the reflection is ridiculous, we've never seen a room so bright, we only work with sunglasses on

Time well spent for now, and effort much appreciated when you get it in. I'm doing the same thing right now, setting up an irrigation system and it's a pain.
Looks like things are well dialed in- you know what your runoff is per plant since you're hand watering? How much do the water needs vary from plant to plant?
Everyboday started somewhere. Looks like you are well on your way to success, since youre not afraid of hard work. Good friends to work along side you is worth more than gold, trust me on this.
BULLSHIT! Y'all been bitten! You got it baaaaaaad! As your Doctor, I'm afraid I have to inform you that your condition is incurable... so keep plenty around, curing. ;)
I see nothing wrong with the details of your setup; clearly, you have sufficient AC for it and you're far from alone running 'sans glass'. My own cooling plant isn't up to the job of cooling everything unassisted, so until I upgrade it, I'm working under glass.
Sunglasses are essential, eye damage from stray UV in the rooms is a real concern. Bear in mind LED and flourescent- esp. CFL- are also high in UV output.
Can't wait to see how things progress here!

thanks for all the props ttystikk...
as far as run off it was a little high in ppm and ph at first because they were using alot more water than we we're used to coming from soiless mixes, but by the time we transplanted we had it coming out at around the same we're putting it in 5.5-5.7 ph and 1000-1200 ppm

everything is staying as is... some might say we over-veg or over-crowd but this is what has always worked for us and we get very good results...
we will strip them a few times through flower tho

Wow dude! Such a nice set up! Hand watering forsure has its benefits if you have the time and patients... Adjusta wings and btus is the way to go. Impressive!

"Some" say all kinds of shit- I mean, just listen to what "Some say" about the Stig on Top Gear, right?! What's important is what's working for you, and I've learned plenty more over the years by watching than by trying to tell others how to do things. :D
I would be very interested in total yields per 4x8 foot table, and on a per plant basis. Do you guys keep track of that?
