"THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT

[Tranoble]

The room isnt totally sealed. I allso find alot of strains dont like alot of Co2 when they are only a few days old thats why i leave it. But i know what your saying. If I have some real healthy babies and they are taking off quick forsure I will start the Co2 early. It just really sucks when your babies arnt liking the Co2 and they reject it. I think the key to any good crop is a great start.

You can post reply's with any specific questions and I will answer them best I can. My pictures of my room are 1 week from cutting down. Based On A 4 Light Room. Pictures are of a 8 Light Room. I start by sealing my room as best I can. From there I start by building a 8ft by 8ft box with 2x6. Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box). I line the inside with polly making Rating: 5

I think the best advice you can get is right here on this site. Take a look around there are many small grows in these forums. Good luck.

i have read through your journal and i, like most others, am inspired and offer up the utmost respect to you for your knowledge and ability.thanks for journaling for us too.

im also a member at gardenscure.com and over there is a guy named rockclimber who is doing a grow somewhat similar to yours in size. hes growing a non-veg, sog, perpetual grow using an ebb/flow, harvesting monthly. his journal is impressive too (complete with construction pics!).

my question is one concerning yield.

hes harvesting one 4x8 tray a month and yielding 5 lbs. a month while you generated 36.5 lbs. from 2 rooms and 14,000 lights in 2 months.

im trying to find a common demonimator between you two and decide if its better to use soil like you are doing or go with the ebb/flow.

could you clarify as to how big the main 8 light room is youre growing in and how many square feet of garden is being used?

in doing the math it seems like youre yielding over twice as much as rockclimber but i cant help but believe im missing something in my assumptions or calculations.

.00125 lbs/watt = 10 lbs/8000W (rockclimber over a 2 month period)
.00261 lbs/watt = 36.5 lbs/14,000W (tranoble over a 2 month period)

his sog is yielding 8.41 grams per plant on 108 plants (per 4x8 tray) but youre saying yours is much more....and youre saying youre planting every six inches and that means 105 plants in the same 4x8 area as rockclimber....yikes! im confused on where ive gone astray or what im missing here. 20% - 50% difference between 2 experienced growers is feasible but 100% is alot of difference.

lastly, do you think youd get any better a yield if you made your boxes out of 2x10's since the roots could grow deeper?

thanks again for the journal.

Hey rollin don't trip on the stretch. I grow mostly a strain called Critical Mass and they stretch a lot under HID's. This is good though because it gives me the oppertunity to bend and pull them exposing undergrowth to better light. Once the plants bend they go crazy! I have read that certain hormones in the plant go into action causing multiple areas that grow close to the size of the main cola.

Thanks for the 6 Stars Garden Knowm.

The room is a double garage. I have split it down the middle. I have another 6 lights that I just set up on the other side.

The roots bind together like crazy. When I replace my dirt after every show. I cut the dirt into squares. The dirt is stuck together from all the roots.

I think I have fixed my picture quality in my camera. It was set to Fine. I changed it to Uncompressed.

My frame is set to 2032x1536. I have been down sizing the pics to half the size before I up load them to the post. Otherwise It takes a long time. I have dial-up out here in the sticks. I know it sucks!

If anyone could tell me how to set my settings a little better on my Camera that would be so helpfull.

How are you powering 12 lights? What watt are they? That's my kinda set-up!:thumbsup:

First off I'de like to say that this thread is a wealth of info for those who are looking to excel. Tranoble, you are a modern hero for opening these jokers' eyes.
This man (Tran) is operating a growing op that you are all drooling over and yet you give him shit about his pictures, soil, hood, and co2 practices. Shut up and listen to the man!! Read the mother lovin thread!! Twice if you just burned!! I think that he is a very patient man who enjoys helping others where some of you are just looking to prove him wrong about something so you look cool for your friends. Whatever, this shit works!

Enough of that. Tranoble, I've been using sealed rooms for the past 15 years and have had great sucess and wouldn't go any other way. Controlled enviroment, right? Your feeding schedule is much more aggressive than mine which i find intrigueing because I have found with advance nutes that I get burn if I increase too much. I am going to try your schedule to a T and see what happens. Thank You for that schedule.
My next question is do you know off the top of your head what strains are more likely to adapt to your feed/CO2 schedule than others? I like blueberry, ak-47, cotton candy...but would rather use a strain that likes the aggressive sched.
Thank You Sir,
PlantheadJ
