Shits on point. With that indoor style looks like your getting close to running beds. Ever think about it? Geoplanter sell some pimping 4x4 beds

Ive thought about it, my buddy does his with beds. Pots just make it easy to empty the room out, clean it, and be up and running again. I use fresh soil every run, I use the old indoor soil for my deps and outdoor. I might give it a go in the future and see if the extra soil makes enough of a difference to justify extra cost and work

Yea I normally put a 1" coco mat under the pots in the tray and the roots grow out of the pots and into the mat all through the tray. I couldn't get any mats though, they were back ordered and didnt come in time

Day 21 veg, everything looks great. Been working the taller ones (boss & sour) under the trellis to let the shorter bushier ones catch up (3x crazy). The star dawg and chem 4 are right in-between, I really like the structure of them. We will see how they look next week, but I might have to go an extra 4-7 days to let the 3x crazy fill in so I can get a full canopy with them. We will see though, they really started to stretch out the past week. They are going to get their first batch of food next watering too. Ive used spray n grow twice now and I really like the stuff, there is a noticeable difference the day after you spray, they really love it.

Yea it is, mix with warm water & wait until it changes color. It works great though, I started off using it outdoors and liked it so much I added it to my indoor regiment. Is that link you posted just a calcium foliar?

Hey man, I've been on the hunt for these strains for a while now, any ideas on where to find them?

Hells og
Gelato
Sherbet
Bruce banner
Or any crosses of the above

Thanks dude, driving me nuts trying to find them. I have lots on genetics to trade as well

Have you tried in LA area? i have seen these from one of the shops just don't remember gotta do some research.

btw, solistek has a 10k blue spectrum Double ended, it's nice when you get the ones that actually work. out 8 of mine 2 went out. so 1 outa 4 will basically need to be replaced loll, i got a new batch so hopefully those will do better if not, i'll delete this post and say how much they suck. lmao

Yea they say on the description though that they do not work in sunsystem reflectors. Believe me Im waiting for one to come out that works in my setup.

I have not tried the LA area just because of how far it is, when I get some down time I plan to make a weekend trip down there and shop around but its the busy time of year and its just not possible unless I know a shop has them for sure and I can do it all in one day

Hey everyone,
I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a long time grower, been growing for a little more than 15 years but haven't been on the forums much until recently. Luckily when I was learning to grow, I had a very experienced person help me out for the first year and was able to answer all my questions. Since that first year I've learned a lot on my own from trial and error, and I have things dialed in really well now.

Well I just recently upgraded (about a year ago) all my rooms to double ended setups. I am really happy with them and have seen an increase in yield by about 15-20%. I run sealed rooms with ac, co2, dehums, etc, and I use a 66% fox farm ocean forest/33% perlite mix in 10 gallon smart pots on top of 4'x'4' trays, 4-5 plants per light depending on strain. I feed with botanicare pure blend line and i use orca as well.

Feel free to post and ask questions/comments!

So here's the room in the construction process.....

I did put a fresh coat when the construction was done and the tray were ready to go in. Painting the floor is always the last step, other wise it just gets messed up again. I do a fresh coat on the floor after every run
