Supplies and Strains ordered...What would you do?

Basically I am trying to make a nice room with a nice yield (around 2-3 pounds) every couple months.

My question is what setup will get me there efficiently? So far I am leaning towards Sea of Green.

Here is the equipment

(6) - 400 Watt HPS lights for flowering



(2) - 4 foot 8 bulb T5 Lights for vegging/cloning/mother



(2) - 2 foot 8 bulb T5 lights for veg/side lighting



1 - 6" 449 CFM Vortex inline



(1) - Uvonair 8 Inch Inline Duct Ozonator Corona Discharge



(100) - 12" x 12" x 12" 4.75 Gallon Pots



Nutrients are all purchased at HydroEmpire

Super Tea

BudsWell

G.H. MaxiBloom

G.H. MaxiGro


The room is to be made still...It can be pretty much any size between 10'x10' and 16'x16'

The whole idea is to get nice constant yields. Products have been purchased but nothing is started yet.

Also, the strains I ordered from different companies

Mount Cook - Kiwi Seeds

Night Shade - Barney's Farm

Sensi Star - Paradise Seeds

Himalayan Gold - Green House Seed Co

Super Lemon Haze - Green House Seed Co

Chocoalte Chunk - T.H. Seeds

O.G. Kush #18 - Reserva Privada

LSD - Barney's Farm

Big Bud - Sensi Seeds

Twilight - Dutch Passion

Cheese - Home Grown Fantasies

Vanilla Kush - Barney's Farm

Obviously not going to grow all the strains at one time...


Question is...what would you do with this equipment and what would you expect to yeild?

it really depends on your skill level but an exp'd grower could easily yield 3lbs+.

What method would you use with this equipment?

EDIT: and what size flowering room would you say for six 400 watt hps? Any Strain recommendations for your method choice?

do you plant to make a mother out of each of those strains?

Not straight away...I have a friend who has been growing SOG for over 6 years straight (his space is much smaller, maybe 4' x 6') and between him and I we plan to have 4 - 6 Mothers...all different strains...non chosen yet as we have just ordered the new strains.

He is experienced with SOG but I have been seeing a lot of different methods so wanted to get other peoples opinions and suggestions for strains to start with.

Also, he recommends vegging until 1 foot tall then straight to flowering.

It would seem to me that to get poundage every 60 days you better have two rooms,and maybe a third to hang/cure.Thats what I do man I couldnt get pounds every 60 days in one room.How is that going to work?You need to be vegging the clones in one room while your flowering in the other.Unless I misunderstood which I blame on paradise seed co.,I see no other way.

You got it man. That is what the four T5 Lights are for...cloning, vegging, and mothers. Two rooms. Strains, methods, and any other suggestions?

EDIT: when I say every couple months that a general statement...I would be happy with 3 lbs every 3 months

Well unless you're flowering a 90 day strain,you'll be harvesting every sixty days.You could stagger it having plants ready to harvest and 30 day plants in the same flower room,I used to do that.Now with co2 and everything right I harvest a room at a time.I dont like giving cold temps to 30 day plants that 60 day plants ready to harvest would appreciate..I have 2 4 ft 4 lamp T8 flo's but also an 800W HPS/MH combo and a 1K MH for veg.If you want pounds man you have to do better than flo's for veg.I know I've seen some pretty remarkable shit with T5s and 8s but to get pounds you want to veg a stout and tall plant that you just aint going to get with flo's.However,you may be one of the remarkable ones I mentioned earlier

Even if I have around 100 plants? I have 6 400 watt HPS lights. If each plant nets me 1/2 oz that would be 50 ounces (just over 3 lbs)...Is that unrealistic for the setup?

T5's arent like t8's. T8's are terrible. You cant just lump em in the same category because you got them for free. And There are lowryder strains out there that finish in 60 but Id bet its gonna be a month or so more than that. Not trying to bust your balls SJ, I just dont want more people growing under t8 fluos. Its poor quality unless your using what you have available.

can i ask where u found those pots??

No problem. http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=3024

Still curious which strain (of the ones I have ordered) you would start with...also is sea of green the best easiest to achieve my goals?

Any insight on what I will be in for or what I should realistically expect for yield?

Again, off my friends advice I will do sea of green with about 100 plants and let them grow to 1 foot then straight to flowering?

Does this sound good?

No one has strain suggestions, room size suggestions, whether or not sea of green would yield my best results?
