I've been lurking for a while, thought I'd share my project. More info/pics to come. This is a 100% legal, medical grow...we've already been inspected by state/city officials.
Thanks Papa. I've got a bunch of stuff going at the moment. The larger colas you saw in some of the photos are Afgooey. I've got some Durban Poison, Sour D, Chem dog 99, Jack Flash, White Widow and a few others going now. Soon to bring on Lambs breath, Super Lemon Haze and Flo. I'll try and add more pics this eve.
so a few notes about this grow. The base nutrient I use is Hollands Secret...despite the name, it's from Canada. It's a 3 part line, extremely clean and pure in my opinion. Over the years I've tried it all and honestly a good grower can get most nutes to produce good results. That said Hollands secret is a great line. I formerly used House and Garden with great results but it's more expensive and my results now are just as good. Besides the Hollands secret 3 part base, I also use their prop-o-gator for root stimulation although I use it at a reduced strength and use it into the 3 week of flowering. I also use Magical and thrive alive b-1 from Techniflora and as my only bloom enhancer, the awesome Pure Flowers from the Hi-gro corp....also out of Canada. I sometimes use sm-90. I'm currently doing a side by side with the above listed nutes and the fully Dutchy Gold line. Will let you know what I think.
As for the lay out...I grow in what I call quads. A quad is a 10'x10' space with four 1000 watt lights over it. Each 25 sq feet gets 1000watts of light or 40 watts per sq foot. I typically have 36 plants in six rows on 20" centers in each quad. On occasion I go down to 30 plants in a quad. I like growing hydro and have tried many variations on the theme....right now it's RDWC but leaning toward an undercurrent style system. I like to build my own systems so I'll probably start playing around with designs soon. Anyway....here are more pics! Sorry about the bad light in some of these, I'm just figuring out how to filter light on my new camera.
I think your asking about my feed cycle. I'm playing around with the timing a lot at the moment. I'm mostly in hydroton so I water every couple of hours during light and once during dark cycle. The real effort here is to turn the water over completely in each bucked several times a day. On my latest quad i've installed two art-dne timers from CAP. So far so good, it changes the whole system over every hour and half
nice UC copy. so if your 'medical' where can I buy? i'm a card holder in cali....and I'm in the BA often. I'd love to try some of your meds you look like you know your stuff
Here are a few more pics. The first couple show some Durban Poison ladies at day 42. The next two show Burmese Kush, also at day 42. Followed by a couple of my favorite at the moment my Sour Diesel at day 24. Comments and questions are welcome.
In instances like these where you clearly know what you're doing, I like to ask what YOU think would be your best upgrades? Have any in mind? Is there anything that's just not cutting it? Cheers!
Well done bro, Very nice setup there. I run a similar setup. But I'm only running one "quad" 4kw HPS over 16 bucket RDWC.
Can I ask how long you veg? My first run in this setup was vegged 5 weeks. this run I was planning on vegging three weeks, but since I had a few runts waited until 5 weeks, again they are turning into beasts, I am thinking less veg time is needed and yours look like solid buds top to bottom utilizing all light. Again very nice and thanks for sharing.
