your the man.....haha now show me how to rig up some chiller son

Ok soooo, got the trellis up today.

Gonna flip tomorrow or the next day.

It's quite a challenge trying to get all top-colas with 4 plants per 1000w with growth this fast.. It's hard to keep up, to be honest...So I think what i'm going to do is flip the switch and keep bringing them under the trellis, what do you guys think?

I'm getting nervous. I want to flip because they're gonna get so damn big, but I want to ensure that entire trellis is full and i'm getting 50"x50" of BUD, per hood.

A question for ya? Are you using Heim Joints to hold up the support pole for your lights? I also really like the use of the Winch to raise and lower the lights. I alway's wanted something like that.

BudGoggles · Jan 13, 2011

That screen gonna fill in easy. I dont drop the screen on mine until day 3-5 of bloom and it still fills in great.
Looking sick

Looks GREAT! what kind of a/c are you running?
why did you do horizontal lights instead of vertical?

Hey everyone. Thanks for the continued interest. Flipped all my bitches, thanks for all the advice to do so!

The light rail is being hung with custom fabricated braces. In each brace is a rotating bushing so the rail can roll up/down without binding up.

Mr Cheese, thank you for the suggestion. These girls have been feeding @ under 400 ppm there entire veg life, so the EC has to be considerably low. I think the big heavy fan leaves give them no choice but to hang lol. The top growth is all perky and happy.

I went the horizontal route because I had the current hoods, and I'm wayyyy under-rated on the A/C. The A/C is a 32,000 BTU window unit, one of my primary concerns when building this room, but it's doing the trick wonderfully. Dimensions are about 20x30.

So I drained all the systems to about half of the PVC level. I left the grow nutes in the bottom of the buckets and refilled the systems with flower nutes. I figure they could use the little bit of nitrogen for the first day or two during stretch.

Veg PPM = < 400.
Flower PPM = kickin it off @ about 650.

Going to be attempting to train these things as nicely as possible as they stretch to fill in that screen and ensure they dont get too lanky and tall.

I have a feeling my largest row (far right) is going to be super filled in, and my weaker of the 3 (far let) is going to be a challenge to fill in the required space. but only time will tell. With the strong row (far right), i'm already having issues with roots pluggin up my 2" PVC after 15 days veg, insanity.

Have a good safe weekend everyone
