SG15's 2kw Flood & Drain Perpetual - PE, NLxS, Sour Kush, PPP

so what you going to do? prune,tuck or just clean them up and let it ride? looks nuts in there man dont get lost in the jungle.

Man sg that's a nice lineup of strains you got going there. What typ of ballast are you using and how much power amp wise do you think your room uses

Pretty sure he's runnin 2kW on 120V which would put it at 16 amps for the lights.

Haven't seen him mention an AC so I assume this is the mass of his power, probably
sitting around 20 amps give or take.

Already lollipopped a few times. Tucking is long past, so this is pretty much how they'll finish. I also super cropped a few of the tallest shoots.

Thanks Kali. I currently have a harvest pro elite 1000w switchable (10a) and a 1000w solis tek digital ballast (9a). Other than that I have 2x 432w t5s at about 9a total. With fans and such about 30a worth. I also use a 5a dehumidifier and central a/c to cool the room.

if you dont mind me asking just so i can better understand is the room you are using able to handle the 30 amps you are using or are you using different outlets and extension cords i am rather curious on how you have it set up electrical wise.

I have a 15A circuit in the room that runs the t5s, pumps, fans, little stuff. Then I have a 20a coming in from another room with a cord, running my 1000w digital. I also have another cord from another 15A circuit running my 1000w magnetic. So total I have about 50a at my disposal...but I try not to run cords anywhere near capacity.

So you run extension cords? I have one, but it is right outside the room, and I use a heavy duty appliance extension cord... Makes me feel better knowing someone else does this too. I figure if its good enough for things like large window A/Cs then it should be good for lights with around same wattage.

yeah, just keep the length to a minimum. I went with a 12g cord for my 20a and a 14g cord for my 15. They are both rated for 1875 watts and for the past 2 years have caused me no troubles. Another good check is grab the cord, does it feel warm? Is the plug warm? warm is ok but if anything is feeling hot to the touch you have too much resistance in the circuit somewhere.

Yeah, I check them to see if they're hot periodically. Never had issues myself. I always check amps/watt ratings.

I run extension cords as well. I have a 240V 30 amp for my laundry room which has no laundry machines so I have
all 3 of my 600W lights running on a light controller in there. Nothin wrong with extensions, just get some
heavy gauge and it can handle plenty of load. I also run my Air Conditioner to it's own dedicated 20 amp in the same
room. I really only use the outlets in the actual grow room for fans and CO2. Don't know what I would do without extensions.

ur setup is off the hook bro! very nice and those clones look great!

whats up with all the milk jugs on the trays?

thanks irish, lol so many ppl ask that question. It's to displace water from the trays; they fill faster, and the rez's take longer to run dry from evaporation/transpiration.

Busy night.... changed the veg rez, the EC had climbed due to...the damn hydrton. Can't win with washing it lol Also I recently harvested the pollen from the OGiesel and the Blackwater. Tonight I hit a single PE cola with the BW pollen via the brush method. If all goes well I should have Purple Pineapple seeds in 5 weeks. Also changed out the waterfarm rez and did some LST work on it as well (rqs blue mystic).

Tomorrows plan is changing both flowering rezs, stirring up atleast 7g of bubble and making cannabutter with various strains. I am interested to find out if the sativa/indica has as pronounced difference in the edible form. Oh and I might throw a little BHO in there just for kicks. But man does that stuff do a number on your lungs.

Pics to follow Saturday when the camera returns home. The flowering ladies are huge. 20-24" above the screens now. A little taller than I'd like but o well. So far everything seems supported well enough, we'll see what happens when week 5-6 hit. Peace guys.

Hell yea purple pineapple!!! Can't wait to see it!! 20-24" holy hell lol!! I'm hoping for 12" ha, It will be interesting to see how massive those colas get

Just got the screen made and installed. 1 more week of training or so and it should be flower time for this lil lady!

Looks legit man, job well done

Thanks Machnak. Third screen I've made now so I kinda knew what I was doing this time lol Can't wait to see what I can pull from a 250. Goal is 5oz!

How big is that tent SG? I'm attempting to pull 8-12oz's off my 250 but I have another 200 watts of supplemental cfl's too! Plus as you know I'm running 3 auto's and a screen thats close to a 2x2

It's a GL60 (2'x2'x5'3"). Looks like I'm going to have about 36" total above the screen; 18" of plant height above the screen which will still give me 6" for the hood and 12" of space from the bulb. I just really don't think I could possibly cram anymore wattage into this little box. I'm just using a small 6" airking to exhaust the tent and I'll probably pick another one up to blow on the canopy soon.

Things are moving along great. My PEs are already bigger than last round lol...other than that just did a bit more supercropping. So many colas close to the lights I really had no other choice. I'm going to be removing about 2-3" off each leg of my screen next time. I will also be training for about 10-14 days for the sativas.

3x3, hard to see the NLxS bc they are shorter and in the back.
