One more time

[fireman]

Startin it up I want help form all the pros I been watching give me feedback the clock is ticking and I want this shit going.

PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE FEEDBACK WANTED IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON ANY OF THE EQIUIPMENT, KNOW A GOOD METHODs( I LOVE DIY`S). ANYTHING I AM OPENED TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND LOVE TO OFFER AS MUCH HELP AS POSSIBLE IF I HAVE USED OR EXPERIECNED SOME THING IN THE SAME.

Well after compelting a full cycle to reap no fruits of my labor due to what I believe is bad karma possibly, I have decided to give it another grow this time bigger and a lot better. With all the knowledge I gained over the last 7 months from growing this beautiful plant I am addicted to growing it and b I must continue and see what I can do to its fullest. I have quite a bit of supplies, vast amounts of knowledge as I have read every book I believe, every message board, and just watched for months. Now i would like to join and offer what I have to share and definitely gain what everyone has to offer.

EQUIPMENT:I have gather a bit of equipment so I won`t be starting from scratch.

15 Buyduc************* seed White Widow, White Whito Rhine, and Skunk Special
465 EcoPlus fan
Can Filter of ebay
600 watt Sunsystem w/ Super Sun reflector
1000 Watt w/ 4`Cone reflector
T5- flourescent
EZ- Cloner (never used before any feedback will be much appreciated)

Recently just aquired:
2 1000 watt with ballast
2 Cool breeze 8`` reflector with 1000 watt light and ballast
8`` 740 Eco plus inline fan
Phat philter 950 cfm rating
35 or so seeds-15 serious ak-47, nirvana`s papaya, K2, and another pack I can`t remember (from doc chronic that I am waiting the order was processed jan 2 I believe)
When I add Co2:
Propane Gen
PPm3 controller

Area:
The room is 13`10`` L x 10` 71/2``W ( the front of the room is a little smaller In height due to ducting but I am using that as the cloning area)
I am going to be framing my room with 2x4 to seal it completely form the outside environment I want it to be completely clean and optimal conditions when all up and running. I used 4 mil plastic then OSB and panda-film to cover the framing




I have a large area divided into 3 separate areas Bloom, pre-bloom/veg, and clone.


Bloom area (6 feet Long x 10 feet Wide x 8 feet High)
I was thinking about using Soma`s soil beds but kinda going with my own version of 3x3 soil beds because I can fit around 3-5 comfortably into the break down for the bloom room I had. Possible just also 2 3x6 soil beds and a little area of 3x3 bed for hydro or another soil bed. Anyone know possible harvest with 2 3x6 beds sog style plants Prob around 30 plants in each bed ( 15-20 in 3x3 space)
Lights in the bloom area: I am thinking of 2 1000`s for now cranking up more 1000`s to around 4 in the end. I would exaust these lights with the a 740 cfm that would get rid of the heat for around 2000 watt for now I believe.

Clone:
Right when you come in the room the clone area is on the right and it is going to be about 2 ½` feet long x 8` feet wide with tables in it and flouros over the ez-cloner

Pre bloom/Veg
It is 7 feet from the door to the bloom area wall that will separate the two rooms. To the left looking in from the door will just pretty much be my res and table space to work on and where I store nutrients and anything of the such. To the immediate right of the door will be the clone area I talked about.

Plan: Well I donâ??t really know where to start cause I have so many ideas and want to do so much . I want to start a perpetual harvest (sog) and are pretty set on using soil for a while with a little experimentation with hydro only for experience and itching my interest in it. Also this brings me to my first question. 1. Will I be able to implement CO2 and how so if Co2 at high levels stunts small plants growth?

I plan on the germing my 15 seeds in the next couple of days and starting on the framework to get everything going to and start finding some mother plants. I am building everything the tables and all so if anyone has any ideas on my plans that think would be a good change let me know so I can think about it as well.

Hopefully when all up and running I will have 2 3x6 tables and one 3x3 table around 15 plants in each sog style hoping to yeild around 1oz to an 11/2 oz per plant if not more

So questions for people to answer are:
1.Will I be able to implement CO2 and how so if Co2 at high levels stunts small plants growth? Basically how do you setup a SOG with CO2?
2. Will I be able to yield around 2lbs per 3x6 area with a 1000w on a mover with around 15 plants per 3x3 area.

My soil recipe( tell me what yall think and what I should add or subtract)
1/4 fox farm ocean forest
1/4 earth worm castings
1/4 pro-mix
¼ light warrior
1 cup of budswel bat guano ( for 18 gallons of mix veg for veg and flower for the flower mix)
2 tbsp per gallon of hydrated lime
chunky perlite prob around an even amount as main ingredients

And I will wet the mix down with about 1 or 2 tbsp per gallon with liquid karma and some sweet. I will feed when I think necessary with Botanicare pure blend veg and bloom and guano tees starting about the third week of bloom through the 7th. I want to let this soil sit for a couple of weeks while I get everything germed and started.
I am germinating 15 seeds White widow, Skunk Special, and White Rhino seeds from buydutchseeds.com with the paper towel method and then they will going into clear solo cups with straight FFOF about 2â?� away from a t5 flourescent.


All I can think of for now an have to get back to sleeping well all the people who love this forum as much as I do read up and let me know the way you do things. I will leave you with some pictures so you can get an idea of what is going on an see the garden to come.


I have pictures i will post tomorrow i did not save them correctly but for now this is it

Peace :rastasmoke:

Well thanks for all the posts guys maybe it wasn`t enticing enough of a read i know it was long but damn only one person and i didn`t even get any advice but hey who knows I`m not gonna stop.

Well here are some pictures as promised to maybe get a few more people interested in what i have been doing for the last 3 weeks

i started germing everything last night by wetting some paper towels and then placing them in plastic bags on a heating mat covered by some towels that i am turning on every once in a while.




I went with my gut since no one responded to my post about my soil mix and went with the following
1/4 promix
1/4 light warrior
1/4 ffof
1/4 earthwarms castings
2cups/18 g bat guano (veg for veg and flower for flower of budswel)
and wet down with 2 tbsp/g of liquid karma and letting it sit now
will probably add some chunky perlite
Finally got it mixed and now its ready to start coming alive



Aight peeps lets try this again im out for now pretty tired got alot done today haven't gotten to surf in a minute either cause i have been so tired so i will prob be doing that all night

The pics below are of the bloom room with my 1000`s in it
my 8 in fan i am cooling my lights with
the room after i was completley done being panda filmed
and my power board that is on 220 or 240 or whatever it is next to the bloom room entrance

peace. :rastasmoke:

If I where you I would tuck tape all the staples in your white poly and tape all of the seems together. This would give you a totally enclosed enviroment. Also stops moisture from getting to wall and drafts coming from walls.

I would also put some GFI plugins where the panel is.:rasta:

Looks like it's gonna be a great grow op.

As far as the soil mix goes, I like what you've chosen, but I choose to use only about 10% wormcastings...it's so fine and it compacts too much. Too much of it can also lead to "channeling" where the water finds the path of least resistance.

I'm looking forward to watching this develop. Happy growing!

posts are too long , what exactly do u want to know, u seem to have most of the bases covered. my only comment would be keep it simple as possible. grow weed isn't hard and u'll find that the less attention u give ur plants the better they will grow. as far as soil mixes go , i use a 50/50 clay pebbles and cocofibre mix with no additives. i feed using general hydroponic 3 part feed and i feed everytime i water. with weed less is more , remember that and u can have results like this and maybe even better as i have not perfected it yet.
