Gotcha. Yeah I like the idea of improving your strain by reproducing the bomb phenotypes. Still think you should dedicate that halide to veg and use simple fluorescent for clone. Clones just need a warm humid environment with decent light. You should also consider clipping the leaves to avoid excess water loss.
Thanks bro! I did clip leaves. that pic is right before doing so. I can fit 4 65w cfls. The humidity should stay higher with CFL over Metal halide is what I am really wondering. I would think yes but want to make sure. I have another shelf that swaps out of the cabinet with 6 6" net pots incase I need to veg in there until the main tent is done flowering. What I need is another 4x8 tent but then thats just overkill. I have to give excess away as it is. It has just become a very enjoyable hobby as well!
This is how I clone
Nice! I vegged the one side for about 8 weeks from seed to fill out my SCROG. I am thinking I should prob flip the other side soon as I just topped but dont plan on a scrog because they are different strains and not all have shown their sex yet. Since I veg so long I am able to see preflowers. Yes I know they are controversial. I think I may do the CFL for the clone but leave the MH in there for when I switch to veg.
KISS. I was doing it that way and had much success but I just got a bit bored and wanted something to do so I hacked the corner cabinet. How big of a room do you work out of?
Thats is AWESOME! maybe someday if I make it to a legal state!
That does help . Wish I could show you the whole facility. That's just one corner of one room. Time to move to cali my brother.
I like your bins. Will they hold water? I am looking for a bin to fit in a 4x4 area or multiple bins to fill that area but not too tall!
Which bins?
I have been talking about it. I have somethings to settle and a house to sell before it happens. A buddy of mine lives in the san fran area. he got me interested in this about 15 years ago but just really got serious last year. I started because Between my self and my dad we would spend close to a grand a month. SMHThat does help . Wish I could show you the whole facility. That's just one corner of one room. Time to move to cali my brother.
the white ones in your veg pic
In California you can get a caretakers license and grow 6 plants per patient, up to 4.
Oh those are 4x4 tables. You can get them at any hydroponics store for about 100 bucks. It's like a huge tray with a hole at the end so you can water everything and collect runoff in one place.
I would be ecstatic to just cover the cost of nutes and such! I know I will eventually get out there. I was going to ask you if it was ebb and flow but its a bit different than what I have seen. I see the channed of water flowing in between the bins. Looks pretty cool!
nice, how tall are they and can they be used to fill up to the top or just good for a few inches?
The tray itself is only like 5-6 inches deep. You can put it on any type of stand though you can buy metal frames that are about 2 feet tall. You can even lay bricks down with wood beams and make it rest on the ground. As long as you make they back higher so it has a slant to drain.
it's about to be lights on in one of my rooms. You want me to shoot a short vid so you can see?
