$2500 budget grow 3 stage system 1 pound every 6 weeks

transplanting is fairly easy once you get used to it. With experience you can do it with no stress. Even for newbs it's usually done with minimal stress. Get your new pot prepped, if it's a big upgrade you can mold the new soil around the existing pot, but at least fill up the bottom to where it should be. Make sure the plant is broken away from the pot sides and bottom. Rolling the sides well and tapping the bottom on a floor usually does the trick. Once the sides and bottom are semi-free you can tip it sideways and usually just gently pull the stem and bring it all straight out. Once mostly out support the rootball/soil, and just place it into the new pot. Fill in extra space, you're done. If you do this properly the plant will start to grow into the new space almost immediately.

Sounds like a nice setup. Would love to see some pics when you get it up setup

1st sounds like you have a little bit more to learn before you start with co2 its not gonna help you unless you have all the other enviroment controls setup perfect wont benefit you at all..just pick a strain that you think will be good pick the best mom and clone from that..youre makin this harder than it has to been

Hope I can stop you in yer tracks asap Mac,,,

Stand Down!

Rethink this. 1 lb every 6 weeks with an electrical budget like that is gonna be tough outta the gate.

Do you own or rent?

Apartment or House?

Have you told anybody and broken Rule #1 yet?

I'm not saying you can't do it, but I think you can do better with a lil more research and a lil bit of help.

You have to tie a lot of shit together and make it all work. For some it gets overwhelming due to lack of a plan and a plan of attack.

C'mon Mac, use the noodle. Ya don't pull sniper duty out of boot camp do ya? Takes time to learn it and earn it. Slow down.

Need way more info on the set up or space you have available.

If you rent, I'd say don't do it. Unless the LL is cool about it but then that's one more person that knows about it.

Med Card? Med State?

Stealth pal, recon the shit outta this or it could be yer arse in the pen, not the Sand Box.

Check a few of my posts out, let me know if I can help.

Yeah, I went to my doc earlier this year asking for help with insomnia and he gives me anti-depressants. One for at night, one for the morning. Like $3 for 30 pills. My health insurance sucks but for some reason drug prescriptions are cheap. Drug companies get the hook up. The darn things worked. I was all happy and shiny. Changed my personality. Made me feel weird. Destroyed my libido. I lost interest in sex. When I did try to get laid I could not ejaculate because of the drugs. I hate anti-depressants and stopped taking them.

If you have any PTSD issues, medical MJ may give you some relief. But it's medicine. Not an excuse to get wasted when you should be working. A stiff dose of magic mushrooms under controlled conditions may help you come to terms with things you may have seen or done while in combat and may help you find peace. Make sure your mind is right before you do that, though.

Your plans as laid out above are not realistic in terms of grams per watt. You're talking about commercial grower controls and CO2 with hobbyist level lighting budget. Pound every six weeks? You going to be selling this stuff? That's a year in prison in some states depending on priors and other factors. Think this through carefully. My opinion, stay small and hobbyist for another crop or two and reflect carefully before you go big.

Good luck.

sadly i know what you mean about your Willie problem, med's did the same thing to me. i call the problem coke dick because you either cant get it up or when u can u cant get off.

im going to have at lest separate veg/bud areas maybe bump up the bud light to 600 watts

own

Apartment or House?
house

Have you told anybody and broken Rule #1 yet?
yeap, girl who lives with me and one other person.

I'm not saying you can't do it, but I think you can do better with a lil more research and a lil bit of help.
im working on the research part, Mind if i PM you if i got a question or 2?

You have to tie a lot of shit together and make it all work. For some it gets overwhelming due to lack of a plan and a plan of attack.
i sit at home all day like a bum. unemployment rocks. so time is all i got. I'm confident i can get this happening, everything clicks for me.

Need way more info on the set up or space you have available.
basically just a 48x24x70 closet and 2 dressers about 30x18

Med Card? Med State?
no

off to lowes to build me a cabinet! ill get a journal going soon.

Yer gonna need a BIG ol' cabinet for a pound every six weeks.

Spend the money on a shed from lowes, 12 x 12 x 12 for 900 bucks.
1000 watt light set up 300 to 400
A/C 250
2-3 Igloos 150
6 Air pumps 360
PH down by the gallon 20
ph/ppm meter 100
Nutes 30
3 16 inch fans 90
ad another 150 to 200 for incidentals.

That there will get ya rocking. Harvest every 60 days.

what you see below are 3 coolers. 1 plant per cooler. 60 day harvest.

Can be done

Good luck. Hope it works out.

I think your off to a great start but, at the risk of being negatron I'm going to give you a little reality check on a couple things...

A pound on those lights.... not unless you have some secret military grade light bulbs or something.

Your timing schedule seems a little jank...I mean, flowering takes 8 weeks.. yet I think you have 12 in there or something.

Aeroponic system for your first grow....I would advise against that my friend. Shit happens FAST in aero and the chances of you fucking something up is much higher.

seeds in aero system? in what? hydroton?

A 400watt is not going to flower a 4' long tray very well at all. figure 3 x 3 for a 400 watt unless you put it on a light rail. Buck up soldier and get a 600 watt for flower.

Where are you going to clone, how, and when?

Lastly, you have some of the gear your going to need (and argee on jumping the gun on co2) but your missing a couple important and expensive enviro controls if your going to use co2 (sealed room). air conditioner, humidifier, dehumidifier.
