hey cardrack, great looking room...what strain are you running?

I think you might run into some problems with those cages down the road. It looks like you'll be tying or stringing up branches because those cages don't offer up much 360 degree support. Just a thought, but its much easier to replace the cages now, then to tie up 100's of branches later...best of luck with your mpb

Congrats on getting the room up and running and thanks for sharing. I think while many will say you'll run out of room, bubba isn't known for getting huge, so you might just be ok. On thing I can see tho, is you have arrange the plants in rows, and the lights in rows, rather than the XOXO pattern, so the plants will get light from mainly only 2 sides, the front and back. If everything isn't too hard to move, I'd be moving the room around a little personally, but I wish you all the best on your first chop at the system and will be following your progress:smiley_joint:

The 2 center plants are getting 4 sides of light, and the other 4 are getting hit on 3 sides. I will try to get some pics up that show the light layout better. And thanks for the kind words :handshake :rasta:

Maybe its my perspective but that room looks really small for that many lights, It looks like you could only fit 4lb-5lbs in there.
 
#12
looks good bro, I would unflip them thou, and go back to veg if you can. The bubba wont get as big as you want it too if flipped under 30in. But its a test grow so not that big of a deal. I would cover those tops with panda film too, they do end up letting in light as I just learned

and the cages, they are life savers brother

cardrack111,
good to see yet another MPB system in action!

I'll be looking forward to see how those bubbas do for you.:rauch08:

still no roots poppin through on any...should i drill some holes on the sides of the pales? should i pull the sleeves off the 6in cubes? should i turn off the airstones(4 per bucket-easypleasie had prob w/ too much air hitting bottom restricting root growth)?, am i being impatient?

cages have been modified-row every 6 inches up now.

How to rock a bubba in a MPB:

Grow to size desired, then flip. Its just not going to stretch much.

Now I did the same thing with a Raskals OG from seed and the fucking thing got 9 feet. Half of the height was bent over to the tub. A branch would reach from one MPB cage to its neighbors cages. It was insanity. I had a deadhead OG next to it and no where the stretch. You gotta know your strains, and becareful MPBing from seed. They get nuts from seed but they wannt get 10 feet tall not 10 feet across. The clones seem to want to bush much more. *Shrugs*

Sweet room! how big of a ac are you using to cool it down?

Thanks for sharing your grow. Def listen to Lost and Dizzle...they've both grown bubba in the mpbs. Unless it looks really rough in the bins, no need to turn the air off...my problem was in a small 5 gallon bucket. I don't use rockwool, but it makes sense to remove the sleeves so roots can grow out.

Your lights are really low. I'd be concerned with them getting too much light, too soon. You can easily fry them at this stage.

Thanks! I'll raise my lights a lil bit. I've got 4 airstones in each bin so theres a ton of bubbles, and after reading ur thread it made me wonder.
