Holidays and work stuff kept me from hooking a new laptop. Got it now, and here's a quick update. Harvested the AK-48 and got just over 15 oz cut, trimmed close and dry:
Popped 6 Serious Seeds White Russians. All 6 germed, 3 were males. I have moms of all three, and am currently flowering their clones to select my favorite. One of the plants didn't show sex during pre-flower, so I put it in the flower tent. Turned out female, and I am flowering it in a ghetto flower tent when my other flower tent is off. Only one ballast needed!:
Current flower tent clones in a 2' x 4' flood table with 30 gallon rez, from 30 to 2 days in flower:
My buddy swears by this method for consistent production and ease of use.
Veg tent has PPP, White Widow, AK-48 and the White Russian moms:
It's a little ghetto right now, but I'll get it squared away this weekend.
Glad to be back!

Hey Kali!
The light is a 2' x 4' - 8 bulb T-5 unit. 33,600 lumens at 440 watts. I think I paid $225.00 for it. I bought it to veg clones and keep the moms alive. It can be switched for either 4 or 8 bulbs. I just keep 4 burning when I don't have clones in it.
I'm going to be running 18 plants at any one time. They will be vegged for one week after the clone roots strike, and then off to flower. I had planned on doing 9 clones every month, but I think I'll do 3 clones every 10 days to get a good mix of smoke. My buddy gets just under an ounce a plant with this method. I just started germinating the five DINAFEM freebies I got with my White Russian and AK-47 purchase so I'll have a nice variety. Plenty for momma and me.
I have the flower rez full of GH's "Bloom" mix at 1200ppm and 5.8ph. TChiller keeps raz temps at 67F. The plants I have put in there have taken the nute levels just fine. Unfortunately, I won't be able to flush before harvest, but my buddy doesn't do his either, and his shit is fire!
I'll probably start another grow thread when I get the new system straight in my head.

I think I'll start a new thread this weekend. This is a new method for me, and I could use some advice.
Sorry about the mites in your grow..... Hopefully those bastages are gone and your grapefruit diesel puts out!

I picked the light up on sale at my local hydro shop. I am very happy with the T-5's. They are low heat and produce enough light for clones and small vegging plants. It was the cheapest alternative for setting up the veg/mom tent.
I picked up a 1/10th HP chiller at Worm's Way about a year ago, and it has given me no troubles. Rez temps stay at 67F for high dissolved oxygen levels and it keeps the nutrients nice and fresh. Although it was just over $300.00, it takes one more variable out of the equation.
I've the following freebies germinating:
DINAFEM
Power Kush
White Widow
Moby Dick
Blue Hash
DNA
Hash Plant Haze
I'm glad I had to look my order up because it doesn't show the Power Kush or Blue Hash are feminized.... I'll have to watch those two closely. I am THRILLED that they came out with feminized seeds just weeks after I ordered the regular seeds.

I forgot to pull a plant to show what I am going for:
This clone was put into flower after one week in veg. It is currently at 30 days in flower. This is from seed #6, and it was the scraggliest of the seed starts. Even though it was the slowest starter, this plant cloned much faster than the others. In addition, the clones from the stronger plants (#1 & #3) seem to be stretching. I know I have to wait until harvest to make a final decision, but right now, #6 will be the mom.
With 18 plants in the flower tent, I plan on harvesting 3 of these clones every 10 days.
After 24 hours, the freebies are poking their heads out.....

After 48 hours, 4 of the 5 seeds popped:
DINAFEM
Power Kush POPPED
White Widow POPPED
Moby Dick STILL WAITING
Blue Hash POPPED
DNA
Hash Plant Haze POPPED
The 4 seedlings have been set in coco under 40w of T-8 light. Scuffed the outside of the Moby Dick and replanted it. 78F air temp, 73% Rh. Plug temps are 80F.
Still thinking on the final set up.....
