Hey everybody.

I am semi-new to this site as I have been here before. I made a post on sexxing your plants, I have decide to put that aside due to the lack of cash I currently have.

Ive taken 64 clones from the mothers and placed them under 4K Watts.

General breakdown of the grow :

-10'x10' area
-4K Watt HPS
-64, 3 gal. rubbermaid res.
-Medium ; Hydroton Clay Pebbles
-35 gal rubbermaid res.
-Using GH Floranova Series, B'Cuzz Additives, Vitamax, and Monster Bloom
-12" elicent fan for an exhaust w/ 12" insulated ducting.
-1200 GPH ; little giant pump for the res.
-Maytag De-Humidifyer

I will not be vegging these clones(due to unforseen problems & personal issues) I know, I know, Im going to regret it but there's absolutely nothing I can do about it.

The clones I took went straight into this setup after I got them rooted. They're about a week and a half into 12/12 and seem to be looking dandy!

The only problem Im having atm is the super high res tempature wich I'm combating with frozen bottles. I will be fixxing this problem over the week or weekend, before its too late.

Other than that main problem everything is running smooth, the littlest plants you see in the photos are about 4"-6" tall now with some pretty tight spaced nodes.

Anyways sorry to bore you guys with that shit, Ill be trying to update every couple of days to show my progress under 4K watts.

Im open to questions and suggestions. I cannot change much on my setup due to my tight budget.

Haha turtle. Thank you for your kind words and yes I do believe that my tight budget will come to an end after this harvest.

The answer is YES they have grown since I made that post, they're actively growing right now, my girls never stop growing until I choose so.

Anways its off to my shitty janitor job.

Cya guys later and will be looking forward to comments when I get off work in about 2-3 hours.

I have to work on the goddamn holiday, thats how tight my budget is lol.

Incase you want to know what holiday ( Thanks giving ) for canadians like me :D.

Keep the updates coming. They look good and alot of small ones adds up quick. Sorry about the job I know what you mean. Remember ( Things change always do ). I work a shitty job for 20 years. Had a heart attack at 43 and F_ck me buddy. Now I work half the time and make the same money. Go figure. Where did you get your lights and how much ? I also see you have an exhaust fan but do you have fans blowing over tops of plants ?

Hello locnar, thanks for the first questions of my thread and I am glad to answer them.

I purchased my lights from ebay.ca , I did the purchasing of the lights last year. I bought them off a friend I know in British Columbia, all 4 for 2pounds of grass. I already had a 400w MH and 2 350 HPS, wich are currently being used for those babys mothers.

I have 3 oscilating fans in my room. Think that'll be good enough?
It seems to have a nice breeze, but if I do need more just tell me, as I have 2 extras in store in my closet somewhere.

As for the job, I am quitting that p.o.s as soon as I make my harvest and have dryed/cured my buds so they are ready for selling.

Thanks

I can post some pictures tonight , you can see the growth difference!

Thats what ya get when ya use 4K watts.

Hey everyone, I am back with an update!

turtle : Thank you for book marking my thread haha. Do not think of me too highly as you can only do so much. I took what I had and I made it into something, Im pretty happy with my self.

Other than that, I plan on doing a full res change in about an hour.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy!

If you got a good breeze fans should be plenty. Did you get you res temp down ? I had to get a small AC to keep mine down.

Locnar, I my self think it has a good breeze and a good smell :D.

I had a problem with my res, I put too much nutrients in the water because I noticed my plant drooping.

I then changed the res again but added the same ammount of nutes I did the first time. So Im now anxiously waiting to see my girls come back to 100% health and get growing again :D.
