i think i have a monster grow.

[TheXFactor]

my ideas are working with NLxHaze, top44, hawaiixskunk, ice. and some fem seeds from cali, was told are incredible, and i may make a mother of these fems depending onthe quality... everything but the fem seeds are from nirvana seed co. ive had pretty good luck with them for the past 3-4 seasons. going through dr chronic.. Decent customer care.

i used to be an OG member with great memorys of that.

im now working with a 400wattmh, in a 4x4x7 tent. With a 9X10ft 8ftceiling room with a light rail to extend from coner to conner. using a 1000w hps. using happy frog soil. and havent quite determined which nutes ill be using and cant currently remember the name, i think its earth juice 6-3-6. I have fans but no ventilation or carbon scrubber for smell, and may need a cheeper alternative for money reasons. I also want to add CO2 but dont have any experience in that area and whats practical and the right value. Im curious if i use both my veg container and flower room what kind of over all yields could i be looking at assuming everything goes as planned..... oh was planning a 12-24 plant cycle. every 2-3-4 weeks starting 3-10 new plants. and after 6-8 weeks in veg, go into flower, plants would be topped once then tied down. Also am going to have a drip system on a timer for the flower room. im hoping for atleast a 1lb/month after 3-4months from germination? Am i going over board or is this a pretty good set up for happily decent results.

I have 2 600w and a 400w HPS being cooled with a 6 inch fan in a 8x4x6 grow with Co2 and a 28 site drip system. We have similar set ups. I am also using a SOG with Sugarberry (widow and blueberry). If you can keep that 1000w cool then by all means do it. My temps are about 85 degrees F during the day.

I am also using the complete line of Botanicare producs with pro bloom. Hydrozyme, and hydroguard are there as well. I use bushmaster and gravity as well. With this last grow I have 14 plants and project to get 2 1/2 pounds. I can fit another 14 in there the next grow and will shoot for 4 pounds. I think the unit can push 4 1/2.

Using the watt per grams I could get 3.57 pounds from those lights but I think 4 1/ will come east.

With a 1000w light in your room you could make 2.22 pounds. Use bushmaster and gravity and you might break past that. Co2 will be needed as well. Your equation for the amount of time can be found online google co2 equation for rooms and I bet you will find it. You need to see how much co2 your regulator will emit. Mine goes to 1 bar. you want 1500 ppm to be in there and the air already contains 300 ppm of co2. so 1200. I think the equation calculator will tell you this. Then just give the dementions of the tent and it will spit out a time. give it a minute past what it calculates for air leaks and the like. set it for every 3 hours but only while the lights are on. stick a small fan on the bottom facing up to blow the co2 back up since it will settle being heavier then o2.

Let me know if this helps

how much dry wieght can u yeild on avg from a single indoor plant under a 1000w hps, w/ co2. is 4-12oz practial

[JeffersonBud]

yes. If you let the plant veg long enough and top it a few times then you could get more then a pound from 1 plant. use a 20 gallon dwc bucket and who knows. Still more plants with an even canopy and a sog in that thing would be better.

[TheXFactor]

20 gallon bucket... thats huge... i wouldnt be able to fit more than 9, unless i went with 3-6 20 gallon and the rest 5 gallon(some 10-20)

Another problem i am anticipation an i am not quite sure how im going to make it work... i have a veg room and a flower room. but im worried that the different heights of the plant or going to be so varient that either the younger ones are too far from the light and may stretch or i lower the lamp and the almost mature ones are going to get burnt. is this problem i will face...al though an idea just came that i can prop up the smaller one to match the big ones. ideal? and if i remember correctley from top node to bottom of lamp 18-24 inches.. will that same distance work for the my 400w mh in veg. on 24/0 .
