... Ok cuz you're only cool if you use hps only? and the fact that I rock the shit out of a 2x2 with cfl's makes me "full of shit"?
I'm sorry I just don't see what you're trying to get at here. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you.

No man, you grow beauty bud, what ever you use. Just saying that I got a room at 1800w in 3 gallon drip pots, and your stuff is mint (Bud envy). I ain't out to really fuck with you (maybe a little, because I am Irish) Keep up the excellent work, and show/teach more. Peace out

No shit. Yall be growing shit with 150s? And pull sum weight? I can't wait to see how my 600s perform when I get them. Thanks GaryGoodson for reassuring me I dont need 1000s. 
my total grow for 12 plants =5500 though. More than I originally wanted to spend. But i figured for another grand I can grow 6 extra plants. So why not if that's how many I'm legal to grow? Get closer to that 4 lb mark 
hehe. Field dreams.... gotta love em.

Thanks again, and that's why I said my bad if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying. It's hard to tell when someone's just fucking with you via text. I'm no stranger to being fucked with it, its all good and I hope you got a good chuckle out of me being defensive lol now give me a second to get this wad outta my panties. Dammit now I'm fucking with myself... And it's pissing me off

Hey Gary, you say you harvest every two weeks in there? You put a clone in what every 3 weeks? What size pots are you in? Is it organic?

I use 3 gal smartpots with Roots Organic soil and feed them Age Old Organics I also use GO CaMg+

I pull one out every 2 weeks and replace it with a clone at the same time.

Nice, and you veg for what, 2 weeks prior? Are the clones vegged in the 3 gallons, or do you just transplant and flip after 2-5 days?
Sorry to the OP but I feel like these questions are some that you yourself might have. Thanks Gary!

I have the secret jardin L90
So up top on the right I take clones, after they root it's into solo cups for 2 weeks and at the bottom right I keep 2 3 gal smartpots with clones vegging for 4 weeks or so. it's always a rotation I'll take clones before I put them in flower and it starts all over. I usually take 2 clones every 2 weeks but I only need one so I sell or give some away and worst of all... sometimes I have to put some in the compost bin... I compost because I feel like I paid for these leaves/clones to be green so I'm not throwing that away. I use the compost for my outdoor vegi garden.

I got the same tent about a month ago for veg tent/clones...very nice built tent for price...

My rotation is similar Gary, except I don't use a tent, I am utilizing my whole shed with walls covered in panda film. But I have 2 flower areas, both 5x5 scrog nets, each scrog net sitting under 600watt HPS, no support lights. I harvest 1 scrog, then roughly a month later I harvest the second scrog, then a month later I repeat, then repeat, etc etc. I also take 3-4 clones just before sending to flower and discard the lesser of the clones only keeping one, and hence I keep 2 strains rotating on a monthly basis, each scrog puts out between 1.7 and 1 pound depending on strain, temperature conditions, my laziness/forgetfulness. I also compost, but actually I run everything through the shredder (if its big and woody) and feed it to my worms, which I want to speed their growth and reproduction as I use the worms for both the castings/worm piss as well as feed my trout or barramundi in my aquaponics set up

Nice I had thought about one of those, I love how it keeps everything organized and yet you only need one Carbon filter/fan right? Do you just use cfls for the veg/cloning area? You run 4 plants in the flower space to the left correct?
Gary Goodson
Well-Known Member
Yes I run 4 in the left and I guess you could use 2 carbon filters if you wanted to but I don't think it's necessary on the right side. They both have their own vent systems though.
My only regret is I got the smaller one (l90) thinking it would be enough for me but I'm kinda a big pothead and now I wish I had got the L120 which is 3x4 so the flower side is 3x3 instead of 2x2 and the veg/clone side is 1x3

Sunny you only do one per light? Is that because you run autos and can't top or train them? I ask because I run 4 in a perpetual garden. Photos only and I top and LST them. I pull 1 1/2-2oz every 2 weeks. I also have plenty of side lighting and I believe it is key with a 150hps. Here is a shot of my whole garden with the light raised and some lights off for the pic.

Another thing is it does not have deep penetration (the way your mom likes it!
I've also done just one big plant that I topped , supercroped, and LST'd and it yeilded 4 1/4 oz here are some pics of that one.

I prefer to do 4 so I can get some verity.
I run two 150's side by side in a space 40" x 20" x 5ft high. I'm scrogging right now. These are photos.. The one on left is NL x BB and the two on right are Super Skunk..
I have a 4" vortex fan and carbon filter. With that the tent stays cool enough, but I have to keep my eye on it.

What kind of pots are you using?

Those are Plant Spas I believe. Can get them at Wally World or even dollar general, IIdk what size they are though. They have a res underneath and its a wick system I believe

Yea, I figured I 'd give these a try.. I normally use fabric pots. I wanted to do hempy and to me these are basically hempy. I filled the bottom third with perlite and capped with Roots Organic. I figured that the reservoir on bottom would hold a pool of nutes, but as it turns out they dry out reallly fast. I think it's just evaporation. The roots do go down into the res a bit, but not that much.
If nothing else they do a good job of collecting runoff. I think they are around 2-3 gallons total volume. No complaints.
What you can't see is that inside the pot at the bottom there is a base with slots in it for the roots to grow through. The soil and perlite don't end up in the well.
