Welcome....Gladta see indoor innovations used outside as well as in.......just gives that much more creds to the system itself.....

Start cleaning out the innards and sucker branches before full on budset , and you`ll be happy come Harvey....outside....

I see someone`s been paying attention in vertville bout 4 plant 5 light indoor setups being optimal for big plants with dialed wattage and environment....

HL45 kills it with serious returns on investment and 10-12 lb rooms , so why can`t you.....right genetics and all bases covered , look out........

Good luck....DHF....:ying:.....

funny you mention that... Those were our 10-12 rooms, actually we only got 12 once. But plentiful harvests none the less. This last week i stripped every node thats inside the cage as well as all fan leaves blocking air movement... ready for these things to start flowering.

I ran the setup at multiple locations with krusty buckets for a decade starting almost 20 yrs ago , so I know what they`re capable of.....

Consistently pulled 10 outta my rooms , but only had 600`s in the corners for 3400 watts instead of 5000 though....

The Klown`s best pull was 33.5 lbs from 10 KW and 10 plants in a warehouse setting , so keep strokin guys...sky`s the limit......

Glad I could share the details with HL for the future of big plants in smaller fliprooms perpetual ftw...

Peace....DHF...:ying:.....

Ive been dialing down my ballasts lately thinking there may be too much light in there. Strain selection is tough. Ive had better luck with girls that stretch a lot during flower, i.e. diesels seems like less veg and more nodes when they climb that tall. What strains were you running to pull ten out of the 3400 rooms?

Only had 1 strain back in those days bro.....Was a mex skunk hybrid I dialed outdoors yrs before being driven indoors by military air surveillance where I live in Hell..... hand delivered old school dope from my dear departed pot smuggling uncle....

Ran it for 10 yrs with krusty buckets , and 4 yrs with Ebb and Flow bucket fliprooms before losing all cuts and seedstock in a random burglary....anyways....

I retired in `09 with Chem D and some trainwreck hybrids running vert racks with smaller increased plant number rooms and fully intend on a headies room with PPK`s and 4 plants most likely after summer`s end..

Peace....DHF...:ying:....

swirski's are great. I have seen these mites save a crop from broad mite's late into flower. They are the bouncers to my grow room, i order them as a preventive because those nasty things hitchhike on what the fuck ever they ruined me for half a year and now I'm paranoid and order them every month. So two thumbs way up!

Very nice looking plants....What is the population of Swirskis with monthly applications? Where do they hang out and do you have any problems with Swirski "remants" and feces left in the bud? I've heard that can be a bit of a problem with predator mites in general.

Thanks...

first post woo too! thanks for tuning in. I believe they hang out under the leaves, but not so much hanging out as they are constantly moving fast looking for food. Ive seen them feeding on sap from broken branches, leaf pulling ext. and with 1000 swirkskis + a plant i have never seen feces but I've only been using these guys for a year. Hard to catch them with a naked eye but possible so feces at that point must be microscopic and not in groups so id think the flowers are safe :D
