New setup looking for large yields

[stinkyattic]

Hydrohuts are built with a 600HPS in mind.
Stick with Power Plant for the whole thing if you want good yield, good flavor, and no issues with a strain that just decides it's going to be twitchy on ya. I'd avoid BB. Heard too much BS about it. I'll never grow the stuff.
From seed, start 30 and aim to flower 18 females in 3-5 gallon pots.
From clone (you'll save a good female for a mother... right? ), flower 32 at 8" or so in 3 gallon pots.
You'll see why the different numbers later, lol.
Good luck.

I dont really understand waht your saying "Flower 32 at 8' or so in 3 gallon pots" ? I heard nothing but bad news about blueberry so im not gona go with it, gona try the powerplant feminized seeds. What do you suggest as far as my setup goes, i heard the hydrohut really isnt worth the money because you cant grow your plants as large as you would like. Should i build my own setup? How much light do you think im going to need to produce atleast a half pound a plant?

Do me ONE favor please before I give you any more advice...
Stop trying to get 'a half pound a plant' and so forth. Don't even ASK. It's not worth the explanation, and the question itself illustrates a lack of knowledge about how growing works.
A plant with a half pound yield is gonna be a MONSTER and take about a dog's age to veg. It's NOT efficient. Period. You've gone and wasted a lot of time and watts and ferts on growing lumber. If you have a limit on plant count, or simply enjoy caring for a very large 'pet' cannabis plant, fine, but you sound like a would-be cashcropper so any advice I give is in light of that.
Go by this formula:
0.5 grams per watt of HPS lighting in the flower room per month in flower.
Given 1200 watts in your flower room and a strain that takes 8 weeks to finish, you do the math as to what your yield goal should be.
The hydrohut is DEFINITELY worth the money for a few reasons. I personally know a few people who happily run them. You have the space to grow as large a plant as it is practical to grow indoors. A plant too tall for a HH is too tall to be grown under lights efficiently anyway...
When I say flower 32 clones at 8" (INCHES not feet) in 3 gallon pots, I am telling you how to make the most efficient use of that setup by going SOG under 1200 watts starting with female clones.

Your loss. There is absolutely nothing wrong with BB, in fact, just the opposite is true. It's got wonderful flavor, it looks cool, it's a good yielder, it's fairly hearty, and it has over 20% THC. What the hell is not to like?

And try very carefully to comprehend each thing that stinky says. She will not steer you wrong.

Dude build your own hut with 2x4's and double-layer panda plastic. Frame in a D/H and an A/C and you don't even need all that other exhaust crap. Temp and Humidity dialed in, Sealed room for 300 bux (if you buy a used DH).

You will definitely need some DH action in that room if you're running hydro.. a fan is not going to get your humidity low enough at night in that setup. Price aside, you're better off with a sturdy 2x4 frame that you design yourself with everything in mind (and can screw add-ons into later). Saving $1000+ is just a bonus.

2200watts of hps!? thats enough to grow 20-30 plants, and is gonna fry 10 plants.

stick with the 600w ers, i doubt youll even need em both. prepare to use a huge fan to suck out the hot air

bud luv - Yeah thats what i was thinking i can just build my own setup to my own sizes and what not. Question on the D/H what does that stand for? A/C = air conditioning?

[bud luv]

DH = Dehumidifier.

Without it your plants will be moldy. You must have one with hydro, there are no exceptions. :jointsmile:

I don't think you understand how growing pot works, no offense.

The number of plants doesn't matter. It's the distance/heat from the light that matters. You could use 2200 watts to grow a fat ass tree if you wanted.

bud luv - thanks man tryin to get this shit figured out so i can set her up by new years.
