1250 Watt 4x4 Hydro ScrOG Dutch Passion- Think Different Auto

You'll do great with a 400 in a 2x4 tent. That's a lot of light man. Yeah, I've seen people pull some CRAZY weight ScrOGing. I just wanted to try to maximize my light and see what I could do. Shit, I wouldn't count out a 1lb grow yet though man. Still gonna let em go another 30-40 days.

Looks like a good plan, i think you're right about the extra cooltube. How much does electricity cost per kw hour for you ?


nibs.

Word, nice Scrog. Good job on the crowd control I hate having to take fan leaves off but if your Scrog goes monster, it's a must for the center shoots.

I'm at $0.14 KWH so it's not cheap. I'm somewhere around 150.00 a month with pumps, fans, A/C, Lights. That's why I'd like to get to that perpetual setup. I'm only adding another 350 watts which would only be another 25 bucks a month but factoring in that I will only be running 12 hours a day with Photo Period Plants instead of 18 with these Autos I would actually be more around 110 a month. Going from Auto's to Regular strains cuts the running time by 1/3. Just seems like a better plan all around. What ya think?

Yeah man, it was a forest in there. I've been tucking non stop just to keep it manageable.

Update:
Day-58
PH- 5.8-6.0
EC-1.25


All is good. Switched the light schedule from 20-4 to 18-6 and the buds have definitely started filling in more. Some of the larger colas in back were just being slow at putting on weight for some reason so I figured a little more dark would push them further into flower, and it's either coincidence or it has definitely had an effect. Either way all is looking good. Some of these buds are DENSE! Can't wait to CHOP! I've got itchy fingers looking at some of these buds, but I'm not even 60 days in yet. I believe they're supposed to go 75 days, and most grows I've seen go past that. The two plants in the front could definitely be chopped by day 75, but the middle and two back plants will definitely need some more time. Definitely longer growing phenotypes than the two in the front which were definitely the frontrunners from the start. The Middle and two Back plants are full of much larger cola's than the two in front. The front ones have chunky, dense, smaller colas. I guess the middle-back plants may have some more sativa in them. Seems they want a bit more flowering time, but the colas are all pretty big.
This whole grow is pretty crazy to me. I'm just a noob, I built all my own shit, Just threw a guess at the flood-drain times since I could not find a straight answer online, battled root aphids, and I'm gonna pull enough medicine for a LONG TIME. Definitely enough to last until I get my first harvest on the perpetual setup But honestly, one just never knows :smokeit:
Here's a couple pics

A little love shot of what we're tokin on now. Dried and Cured Think Different. Good Stuff. Was going to just take a damn picture of the pile of chopped up weed, but She insisted on making it into a heart. Whatever :smokeit:



Close up of the Frost.

Oh yeah. Not another dime into the dealers pocket from here. 275 and ounce for DRIED PLANT MATTER? Shit, gold was 300 an ounce at one time. It's just WAY too much money. We live a pretty minimalistic lifestyle anyway. We don't do without anything, we're just and simple happy with the small shit. I hate spending large amounts of money on anything let along some weed, lol.

Damn this is inspiring. Subbed.

That's cheap 300 an oz here, and mexican is getting harder to find lately. These kids today are asking between 20 - 25 a gram. I know what you mean livin the simple life, that's the way it's been for me for awhile now. It's really nice havin the kids text to ask if you need any and tell them nope, but I got some I'll sell ya...lol.

Thanks a lot Growin. Inspiring to you and me both. I'm a noob man. I'm really not doing anything technical at all. Just letting these plants play out really. That's been the beauty of this grow in my opinion. General Hydroponic nutrients, Ebb and Flow. If you ever need any help, I've learned my share, lol.

Well I'm more of a noob than you haha, but I've been readin a TON. Just ordered all the items I'm going to need for my first grow, about to order seeds Soon I will be starting my first grow. I'll keep you in mind just in case I run into any issues

Howdy Pal,

Loving the run, not to many folks willing to try Autos on the screen. I have had surprising success stretching the plants with Floro's first, in order to position them to use the screen as support even with strains that might not scrog well. Other runs, had some autos fill screens like it was a photoperiod plant and you would never know anything different until you saw the light timers settings. I think more folks will pick up on screening them when journals like yours start popping up. Glad to see ya posting. Enjoy the glory brother! (sweet tooth brush!)

If you decide to keep a log shoot me a link. I'd love to tag along.

Just some Porn.


Back colas are just starting to put on.



And Looking Tasty.



Chunky.



Chunky Beautiful.



Already pulled quite a bit of weight from these. They're now on their second flush





If you look closely you can see a mushroom growing upside down. Cap down, and stem up. Very common mutations for this strain.
