as far as your yield question it all depends. are the flowering under CFLs or the HPS now? if CFLs how many, lumen output? what nutes are you using? what are you temps looking like?

i'm definitely down for some coffee or you can have a beer and i'll have some water or something. i don't drink anymore......or very very very rarely.

i'll hit you up.

Hey Shake,

The vegging is being done under CFL's at the moment, flowering is going to be under the 600 HPS. The temps are looking like mid to high 70's at the moment, using cannasoil(?) So far I've used Brer Rabbit Molasses (1 tsp per gallon) every three days.

I'm not certain of the total luems of the cfl's but there's ten of the 26 watt 6500 ones in there with a large fan to keep temps down.

Recommend some nutes that you might think would be worthwhile. I'm all ears.

I'm going to build a seperate cab (smaller) for vegging and use either a 250 or 400 MH light with another fan. Priced a portable ac to add to this contraption to make sure that come summer the little beauties don't take a steam bath down here in H town.

My goal is to create a perpetual grow system that can yield up to several lbs per month or every other month, fits in my garage and upon first glance just looks like a series of storage cabinets. That's where the stealth and covertness come in. That way if anyone was to walk in they wouldn't know right off whats going on or if I raise the garage door it wouldn't be a complete knock off to any passers by through light, odor or visual.

I know I might be optimistic on the yield however quality is my first concern then quantity. Both brother in laws are from Amsterdam and these guys are hard to impress since they've been smoking out since crawling out of the womb. They have offered alot of advice but almost all of their experience is outdoors growing as well like mine is. They've ponied up half the costs of what I'm doing and their going to be sharing in the harvest.

We decided to keep this thing at my place since they've got kids and we don't want to local neighbors and their kids finding out about this. Also, I don't look anything like someone who would enjoy this hobby and growing of medicine (when you see my pic you'll see what I mean...) so that also gives me a leg up on being a little stealthier.

I have no kids so having this around is not a big deal (as a firearms enthusiast I have lots of handguns all over the house as well; I shoot alot at the range and believe in self defense as a fundemental right. (I had stopped a rape in progress back in 01, creep had just been released 12 days earlier after serving half of a murder sentence and tested positive for meth...I should have shot his sorry ass...)

Sorry for all the info in one post!! Anyway, I sent you an im and look forward to chatting with you soon.

All the best!
