Hi all, a new friend of mine has inspired me to start growing again. He has 98 ak47 plants under 4000 watts of HPS with great nutes, Co2, mylar everywhere, ventilation, filtration, you name it. He's doing about 4-5 harvests a year cloning mother plants. He'll probably make about $150000 this year. He's pretty crazy. Anyway, I wanted to share some ideas and pictures of my progress. My friend gave me 15 ak47 seeds but I also ordered 15 mango seeds from KC Brains and 15 haze special seeds from KC Brains too.
I might just grow clones of his ak47's when my new grow cabinet is done, i dont know.

The cabinet is 19" / 35" with about 5' of height. I am building cabinet style shutter doors for it with louveres for good circulation. It will be reflectively lined with mylar and emergency blanket material. There is good ventilation here with a nearby exhaust fan sucking air out and drawing new air in. I've chosen a good setup for this little space. I used to grow in a "Megagarden" ebb and flow system which worked great. I scaled down this time to a "Baby Bloomer" by American Hydroponics.

1. Baby Bloomer ebb and flow system
2. Hydrofarm 250W HPS light system

Last time (which also was the first time) I grew hydro, I used "Ionic" nutrients. I seemed to have good success with them so I'm going with them again. I have been doing some research and homework on all the supplements out there these days. My friend is amazed by "Hygrozyme". He added the stuff to his 8 day old plants and in three days his stems tripled in diameter and leaves were bigger and stronger. I have heard great things about the hormonal additives you can buy too. I'm going to try the Floraliscious line along with the Hygrozyme. THe name of the game is not to overdo it so I will act sparingly with supplements.
here's some pics. I will take more as the UPS man drops off my new gear.
Notice the bag of AK47 seeds from Serious seeds. and can somebody tell me what the "cal" and CFM button on this ph meter does? I can't figure out how to work them or what they're for. I'm pretty sure you calibrate the thing with a combination of pressing the buttons but I can't figure it out.
