Hi everyone! First off thank you to Timmur and Ez Rider for their continued research. This is priceless!
Allow me to introduce myself as @MerakiLabs. I am a grower based in CA. My research and planning far exceeds my large scale cultivation experience. I have become passionate with cultivation and its many methods. I look forward to learning much through these forums and sharing my personal experiences.
My long-term goal is to have 8 near-identical flowering rooms with a canopy of 8'x8' each to harvest new data at a rate of near once per week. I am thinking 4 different physical locations with each of the four locations having a separate vegetative room/tent and drying room/tent.
I would like start by finalizing the plans for a single flowering room (about 10'x10'). I will start by describing some details of what I have planned (much of it based off of these forums) and finish with some immediate questions I have. Thanks ahead for taking the time.
So I am currently pretty sold on running 12 GBs with the appropriate 315 agro bulbs. For the ease of feeding, I am probably going to run two separate 4'x8' flood and drain trays on rollers with Orca wrapped around or Lumacept UVC-Max on the walls. I would like to keep each physical location under 99 plants as much as possible, but see myself running 18 plants per tray (36 per room) in 10 gallon fabric pots with a coco mix. I am hoping to get a hang of mainlining in veg while having them in something like the 8" Gro Pro Root Master Pot to allow air pruning before transplanting into the room/pots and allowing them to veg for another week or so before flipping. A sealed room with CO2 enrichment via a generator and an 18,000-24,000btu mini-split AC. I do not have anywhere near an unlimited budget, but while being cost-effective my drive and is to grow the cleanest cannabis for yield and potency, while constantly exploring methods of reducing my carbon footprint.
Questions:
Would you recommend something different other then ebb&flow (flood/drain) for the administration of nutes to the grow medium?
What would be the best way to go about hanging the 12 GB's according to the Cycloptics recommendation? Can I use the light rack on a tray stand so it rolls with the tray?
Is one week of veg in the flowering room under 12 315w agro bulb (3100k) after being transplanted from the 8 inch air pot to 10 gallon fabric pots ideal? I would like to have a minimal footprint of a veg room or tent with enough space to propagate and veg enough clones for 1 flowering room every four weeks and maintain a mother. The veg room will be a combination of GBs and T5s for the babies.
Lastly, but most importantly I need to estimate yield. Confident that I will not be making any detrimental mistakes, but understanding that thing will always need to be dialed in; What is a safe estimate of what I can and should be yielding per harvest of the 64sq ft canopy size?
I am new to forum etiquette and will be posting this a few different places. Please let me know if this is an issue and I will address it immediately. Thank you!
