Lets hope this turns out how I planned..

I originally wanted to do a perpetual system, but do to time restraints Im changing my methods to a scrog.

The dimensions of the enclosed area: 3ftx4.5ftx4.5ftH

Im impatiently waiting on the arrival of some feminized pick n mix seeds I ordered from attitude last wednesday

This past weekend my friend was able to grab my ballast and td150 from my house and bring it back to school.. I was probably stoned when I packed my car:wall:

I still have to decide if I want to veg these girls with my 400wMH OR a combination of 2or3 t5's above them with an additional 2 125w envirolites between the plants!! I could use some opinions..

I like the idea of the light penetration with the envirolites between the plants and the nice level canopy from overhead, provided by the t5's. That adds up to the same amount of wattage as a 400wMH so i'm pretty torn at this point..

I want to veg these girls no longer than 6weeks due to time restraints.. I will keep them in smaller pots and eventually transplant into 3-5 gallon buckets, where they will stay the remainder of the grow. if I decide to use the 400wMH.. I will use my 6"ducting to connect the fan(td150) to my cooltube then again to the carbon scrubber. In essence, cooling the bulb and filter the odor. For flower I will simply switch bulbs.. also with the addition of a SCROG screen.

This will be my first scrog.. and I want to do it well.

I want the screen to kindof contour the shape of the bulb/cooltube.. so from a profile view(side view) it would look like a longer "U" or a sideways parenthases "("..

I think this is the most efficient way to use the light and will allow for more buds to fill the canopy.

This is the general idea.. six 5gal buckets in a SCROG setup. I may want to make the screen dip lower or go higher on the sides to max out the canopy

I've got a perpetual setup sort of like what you have in mind.
Although i'm not using the screen for my lower plants, so you
could say the bottom four are sort of sog-ish.
Flowering these 8 under a 400w hps.
 
i'm currently doing one g13 blueberry gum scrog in my closet. I'm on day 32 of veg with 600w mh. She is only 9" tall as of yesterday but already near 2ft wide!!! Will be going to 12/12 in 10 days or less.
 
You will have to keep us up on this grow!!! Cant wait to see how its turns out! I would like to know how the brainstorm yields! I heard its good smoke!
 
they look great man! how long are you veggin for? and under what light?
The clones on the sides were vegged for 3 weeks, the lower four vegged for a bit less.
The first four clones were taken i'd guess two weeks into flower. (Not by me but by the friend i got them from)
The lower four i cut and rooted from a mother i've been growing from seed since october.
My plants veg under 4 26w cfls on two y splitters, and flower under 400w hps.
Since the four on the sides were taken in flower, they are more like branches full of bud, as opposed to looking
like actual plants. The bottom four clones i took and will produce more weight even though they're in smaller pots,
and vegged a bit less.
