SOG (72+ plants) 1000W/Light Rail

[Bud Bug]

your goner smash it this time man...thanks for the details on joining the tents

Heh its was kind of an expensive experiment at $220 each tent but you got to learn some how.

Never grown OG Kush so we'll see what happens. It'll probably take three crops to get it down pat like with the Diesel. I would love to stick with the Diesel as it such a nice growing plant but no one wants Diesel locally and they're all stuck on all kinds of PK stains OG/Bubba/PK/Green Crack/etc...

Shame really!! i wouldnt turn my nose up at that haul bro if offered, for sure...you gotta go with the flow sometimes and with that cut im sure you'll be alright lol, wouldnt mind growing any of what you mentioned especially the green crack can wait to see tho, judging from your last endevours should be a breeze...unsure on the nutrients as im in the uk and those brands are not available, i'll enjoy wacthing....all the best

Looking good bud bug, you don't hang around do you

 

[Bud Bug]

Well I don't know if I like this set up. Too cramped and the light rail ads an unnecessary extra point of failure. I'll run it for now since its set up but pretty sure next time I'll go back to the single tent and 49 plants.

Photos are just after planting the clones. Sill got like 30+ left over not sure what to do with them.

great start...clones look nice and healthy..whats your config on your aircooled ?

let the show begin...

I'm a dutchmaster fan myself, so I'm anxious to see the results.

I like light rails too, I'll be hanging out.

I like this show. prepare for a trellis. all those OG's will flop all over if you dont. everything looks great though. is aircooling your only source of cold air? What are you doing about radiant heat?

Well I put the fan right after the charcoal filter as with the fan at the other end its creates too much of a vacuum and causes the ducting to contract too much which causes the shade to be lopsided, but it removes way more heat with the fan the the end on the exhaust.

I'm actually gonna flip them on Monday so hopefully they wont get too big maybe 14-18"

The exhaust does go back into the basement so the radiant heat for this crop will be ok but I'll have to use a portable air con for the next one. I could vent it and bring in air from a crawl space in the house (split level house) but its a rental and I avoid doing any kind of damage to something I don't own.

I have a LR 1000 MV (6" vent holes) shade sitting here and thinking of using it which would give me a bit more light since the light doesn't have to travel through so many layer of glass.

Also I'm thinking of ditching the light rail (too complex for a small tent) and just getting a second air cooled shade inline with a 400W MH for 1400W of power. Then just rotate the shades every two days. Or I could get a 24" air cooled tube and install a second mogul into it and run both the 1000w/400w in the same shade.

OG will finish 3' when flipped @ 6-8" from most my experiences. the bell hood will put out way more even light too. just wont cool as well as the tube.

Hmm could have been something different? I saw photos of my buddys OG a few days ago and he says when he flips them right away they don't get very tall max 18"

The guy I get my clones from also says his finish not too tall when flipped right away.

We'll see I can always use Dr Nodes/Phosphoload.

 

[toohighmf]

interested to see what comes out. your not flipping right away, your vegging 4+ days. they grow more and stretch hard in transition throughout bloom. do they sog like you? the sog really makes them compete for light. your cuts look just like mine too. personally I don't think dr. nodes is the answer. I top em at flip and that's it. I stuff 36-40 under a stationary 1k. it works well for me.

I'll flip them tonight then and see what happens.

Well I transplanted them into the final 1 gal pots into a 50/50 Botanicare Coco/Pro Mix HP mix. I went with this mix as the plants were looking pretty messed up - small whitening at the edges of leaves, young leaves with necrosis and weird curling of the leaves. I'm thinking it was a php/coco problem. I had a similar problem the last time but eventually it went away but this time is was quite more intense. I wasn't taking anymore chances so I went with the coco/pat mix which I never had problems with before.

Here are a couple of photos.

very nice..picture perfect!

 

[~Shhh~]

Good shit bb, did you flip them straight away or are you vegging a little
