Update.... I added a third hood to my small room.... Ive run these two first hoods for a year now. The non tempered glass has held up fine. I built my third hood in about 45 min. Once you build one or two, they are a breeze. I figured out my total cost. It is just under a hundred bucks all in...

go with 5" net pots, and grow i a soil less mix like sunshine 4. you could squeeze 25 under a light and get approx 2.3 lbs.... I know because I use the same formula. I am using 3 lights, but my bed is 12'x5 and I get 7 lbs.... so actually, your bed is a food narrower, but you could get them in...

LED's are a waste of time IMO.... go with 600w HPS min. anything else is childsplay.... Im running 3 1000w HPS over a bed, using the sea of green, in 5" netpots. Im using Sunshine #4 mix, and yield 7 lbs average. Thats approx 2.3 lbs per light.

in the op's first post, he talks about putting a 1000w hps inch's from the plants tops.... well, you dont want to do that, or you will get light bleaching on the tops. ideally, i keep my 1000's about 16" + inch's from the plants.

pics are coming. im going on day FOUR of harvest. I will be done by 10:30 this morning, then I have to plant the next round of clones. The light is at the end of the tunnel! The smaller room is ready to be flipped today as well! And, another change has come to light. A colleague has approached...

Well, today is update day. I weighed the outcome from the small room..... My buddy's all estimated from 2 lb, to 2.5 lb. today i did the finally tally and it came out to 3.4 lbs! AWESOME. With that kind out of outcome from the small room, im thinking the bigger bed should produce 6+! So, with...

heads up, the small room came down yesterday. took 10 hours, 3 guys, for the most part. the bed had dried right up, two full flushed of zero water, and the hairs were 70% red, trich's were cloudy. It looks like the best crop ive ever cut down (15 years+)! The big room will wait another 2 weeks...

Hi guys, just a small update. HOLY SMOKES MAN! these Elephant plants are AMAZING! I was looking at the small room, to see if it was ready, and I just couldnt believe how fat and hard the nugs are! The calyx's are SOOO swolen and huge, i was beginning to think it had gone to seed! I mean, they...

oh yeah, i went and checked them out on friday, and a whole row in the big room was falling over, i had to tie up a wack of them, and they have around 2 weeks left. they are swelling up like crazy. Im thinking the small room will be ready at the end of this week. once the bed dries out, ill see...

Well, i just came home from an out of town trip, and checked my girls out. And damn, i wish i would have screened them now! a bunch of them had fallen over, so i propped them up till I have more time tomorrow to do a proper job of stringing them up. They are starting to swell up now and get...

if your leaves dont "uncurl", try shutting everything down for 24 hours, leave em in the dark, thatll give it all time to cool off and hopefully they go back to normal. Ive never seen them "taco" like that from heat, but ive seen them "catclaw". hope this helps... btw, im interested in seeing...

Hold on there!!!!! i was stating i was starting week 5, well, its actually starting week 6. somehow i was off by a week. Anyways, they are at week 6 now, and im starting to flush the small room starting now.They dont look like they will grow anymore, maybe swell up more, but even that looks...

check this thread out. i made my own hoods a while back, it was easy, and saved me hundreds. they are working very well too! ill be making more of them in the near future i believe. https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/666153-my-diy-vented-hoods.html

very nice! on the other hand, a solar powered set up, im assuming multiple 600 to 1000 watt bulbs would be one hell of alot of solar panels/batteries, inverter/ect.... not really feasible. it would be an extremely expensive endeavor.

wow, thats pretty cool. although i'll still build my own flip box's/light controllers. im not a fan of anything that has stuff built in. if one part fails, then the whole thing is down. but fpr the non diy'er its a cool product.
