hi broi know this is an old thread but love the way you grow how did you find the parabolic shades lad thanks love your threads are you still on the boards ????Hey guys, it's been a while since I put up a grow thread but I have decided to start up a diary here in the coco forum since I'm a coco nut and love this forum lol.
For the past 5 years I've grown vertical donuts exclusively but now I want a change to see if I can up my yield a little. I will be using 600w lamps and growing a total of 7 trays, 2 trays in an 8x4' tent that will be growing Star Dawg - Nag Champa cut which is some potent shit lol, it's always the first jar I grab and I usually have 5 or 6 quality strains jarred up. There will be 25 plants on each tray in the tent. The other 5 trays are in "the big room", this room will be all Cheese - Exodus Brightside Cut but there will only be 20 plants on each tray in this room, not by choice....I had a shit load of clones pass away in the aero-cloner but ya gotta work with what ya got.
Here's a few pics so you can see where I'm at.

It's still a work in progress, I have to install the drippers, hook up the waste system, which will be pumped into a bathroom toilet. I hand watered everything tonight with a 0.9EC solution of Plant Magic A&B with Roots Excelurator.
I will also be growing the Cheese with an alternative photoperiod compared to the usual 12/12. I will be flowering them on a 13/11 on/off photoperiod, it's a sure fire way to greatly increase your yield with Cheese, the plants grow bigger with spear buds all the way down but they need flowered for an extra week...it's a no brainer.
I'm only giving these girls a short veg, when they hit 6 inches they are getting flipped. I will also be supercropping them right up till 14 days flower, pinching them into some decent shape, unlike most SOG grows I'll not be aiming for single cola lolliepop'd plants, I want 4+ even heads to work with as this has proven to be scale buster come weigh in. I'm hoping for somewhere in the range of 25-30oz per tray/600w and hopefully closer to the latter lol.
Anyhow if you guys have any questions fire away.
Peace,
HGO
