heres the girls today. I have added a couple clones that rooted quickly. Ill be moving these girls to flower in2 weeks or so on 9/4 which will only give them around 4-5 weeks veg time.

I have completed my flower room. Heres a couple pics. 6 x 250 watt lights. Flowering 1 plant per light at this time. That is gonna change up as things get going.... heres the room. I have 2 fans in and 2 fans out. 1x 4" & 1x 8" in and the same going out. This is because I started with the 4" and realized I need a lot more air so I got the 8" fans and let the 4" system intact. They are separate from each other meaning that each fan has its own intake line and exhaust line. I can get my temps to mid 70's easily on my dry runs(no plants). I have massive air flow. I just hope these filters work. They werent cheap

    Looks like it will be a great setup. 4-5 weeks veg is on the long side. I'm sure you know they will double or triple in size when you start 12/12. What size pots are you going to finish in?

    I haven't read your whole journal yet so if you've already explained this, ignore my questions.

    i have 3.5 gal containers from start to finish. These are shorter strains. about 50/50 indica/sativa. Grow like indica but flower period is like 60-70 days. I plan on vegging for 4-5 weeks, moving 6 plants into the flower chamber and harvesting every 4-5 weeks which is roughly half the flowering cycle. My flower room is 83"l x 82"w x 72"h. I have plenty of square footage just not a ton of height.

    I decided to do a quick overhead view of my flower room to give a general idea of how i am planning this. The red squares are the 250watters, the orange circles are going to be easily moveable 68 watt cfls, and the circles are the general plant placements. The bottom 6 plants will be just entering the flowering chamber and staying there 4-5 weeks. The back six will be moving into their final 4-5 weeks period. Ill continue this rotation with my little veg chamber housing a couple moms and 6 clones at a time. The closet upstairs will be eliminated when the first round goes to flower.
