Perpetual Growers Thread

[The Dude wants buds]

Looks great I use same controller on my flower tent

Thanks! They are great controllers. I have 3 of them. I highly recommend them for ease of use and value.

We trim branches and hang to dry. We put dried buds in jars every week and trim and put plants to dry every week. A true perpetual grow. 1.5 to 2 pounds a week. 500 clones a week to sell too. And this is in three areas. We fit 9 5 gallon pots under each light.

I change it at least every 2 weeks maybe sooner depending on what the PPMs are doing and when I top off it's only RO water. My rez temps are at about 67.

Sounds like a good plan.

That's a lot of growth on those clones in 1 week. Whatever you're doing they're loving it.

That's quite a big operation you're running there. How many people does it take to keep it going?

2 full time. 2 part time. I'll expand next year and have 4-5 full time and 2-6 part time. In a year I'll be back where I was before jail. 5-8 lbs a week and 5,000+ clones a week.
Sucks being me. But I volenteered.

My goodness man! I dream of being that big. Right now I just want to have enough to stay with something to smoke, pay bills and cover the overhead on the setup.

No roots yet, could have something to do with them being top branches.

The deficiency I was having with my clones is handled and my new growth is coming in nice and green.

This is my setup for now. I have 2 6" Raptor reflectors, Solis Tek 1000 watt dimable ballast, a Solis Tek digital ballast splitter and 2 600 watt Solis Tek digital HPS bulbs. The 2 rez's will each hold 18 plants for a total of 36 plants. I plan to harvest 7 plants about every 2 weeks. I hope to get an oz off each plant, if I do things perfect and pull 2 oz or more per plant I'll be so happy! I'll be running G13 Labs Midnight Kush for now.

First time I seen a splitter... Subbed w/input

I found it on the off chance that one might be out there. It just so happened that I already had the ballast.

That's beautiful bro... Do you mind sharing how the inside look? I have one of those totes and was just about to order the cloneking 36... That'll be perfect for leaving plants in veg for two weeks before they go in flower room... What kind of light and how close are they to the clones

This is day 7 since I switched to flower. Shortest is 3½in tallest is 11½in. They weren't all the same size when I cloned em, but putting them in DWC brought em back to life. All the ones I didn't think were going to make it are doing great. I guess they just didn't like aero.

That's under a 4ft t5 8 bulb but I only using 4 bulbs and it's about 18" away but i I'm not really like the t5 it puts out a lot of heat imo will probly switch over the 400watt mh cool tube or air cool hood...I'll take some other pics later cost me about 40 to make that's pump totes spray heads pvc , I already had a timer the growth is unreal and my canopy temp is around 83 in day time and my water temp stays around 74 to 75 during day and I have seen no issues. I and back 3 gallons of RO phed at 5.6 after about 4 days and walk away for 4 days really easy and low maitnence

My plants just didn't take to it for whatever reason.

 

[mike45214]

Just checked my clones and they have nubs on em for roots. They didn't root any faster with Power Cloner, but as I said before these were all top branches.
