Ok well here we go starting the second journal. So far I have all of the girls under a 175 watt HO floro light. I will be growing these in the same room as my previouse journal, however I will repost all specs for newcomers, so here we go. This is what Im working with.
First things first!! ..The Equipment list!!
Ballasts: 3-600watt elect. Quantum dimmable ballasts (love these things, I own like a dozen already!lol)
Bulbs: 600W Hortilux mh conversion for veg and hps for bloom
Hoods: 3-Hydrofarm 8"air-cooled hoods with insulated 8" duct work. They also have the dual wall design to keep temps down on outside of reflector. And has the swing down lens and gasket system for easy maintenance of bulbs and lenses (gotta love that idea!)
Nutrient delivery system: C.A.P. Ebb and Gro set. I always end up only using 10 of the buckets in the both of the sets I use now. The plants don't get crammed that way. And that's what seems to work best for the MJ and tomatoes/basil.
Air movement/Filtration:2-Airking 12" oscillating fans (wall-mount) just for air movement in the room. Ion/uv air filter(to keep air clean). Mountainaire 8" carbon filter with a 12" uvonair (3 corona discharge unit ozone generator, overkill I know) Also I have the room under negative pressure with the 8" max fan hooked up to the carbon filter and ozone generator and its exhausting 24/7. Lights are exhausted with a 8"max-fan as well. Also have another 8"max fan exhausting the room when humidity or temp exceed the set-point.
Environmental: CHHC Sentinel Co2 PPM/temp/humidity/night-device controller. Hooked up to a C.A.P propane CO2 generator. Enviro controller set at 1500ppm, temp at 78 deg. and humidity at 50 with 10 deg dead-band
Nutrients: Advanced nutrients Sensi series so far but I just switched to Advanced Nutrients micro/veg/bloom 3part for flowering because the old nutes were old and not working properly ( having lockout issues) Buckets get flooded 5 times daily
Genetics: "Nosebleed" cross between a local strain and GWS or Silver pearl (cant remember anymore, sorry, its an old girl! And I'm an old guy, lol, ) Also I have another local no name strain that I hybridized years ago. And last but not least "Blue Cheese"(prob my personal favorite even though I had no part in the making of this strain and the other two I did)
Keep in mind they are not in this room yet. It will be a few days before they get moved to their final destination which is back in my room with the 3 600watt lights.
So heres the first set of pictures!
I usually start out pretty rough with them so I can weed out the weeklings As you can see here a few didnt make it through the torturouse 3 days no water test, lol. PS: I didnt do that on purpose, lol. It had more to be with me being out of town actually, lol. But notice how even the rest are? Thats how I want them before they go into the big room. Stay posted! Ill have more pics of the rest soon. Hope everyone stays on for the ride. There only 2 weeks old now but their growing fast!

Lets shoot for .6g/watt!
OK, I'm aboard. I want to see your new Ebb and Flow Tek as I will be redesigning my system next year.
Daydreaming again. It would be schweet though.
. i like the idea of the holes in the ducting to get fresh air to the underside of them when they get bigger.
