Hey there ROI... I wanted to make a post and show off my grow room and some of my plants, its one of my favorite hobbies and I can never get enough talking about it ! I am using Cookie sheets for grow lights and I am currently seeing nearly 5lbs of primo per 1000 watts draw and think I can get over 6 lbs with a few tweaks.. I use C02 with airflow...I use a Iponic 624 environmental controller... my room is 6'9" x 14' with a 7' ceiling... I have 12 LED panels powered by a 320 driver split between 2 panels.. I use Coco and top feed... GH 3 part , 3,2,1... EC 2.0 , PH 55-5.9... room temp 85...humidity 60.. C02 1000 PPM... I use a split between 2 gallon and 3 gallon square pots with my own unique style of trellising.. I will add Jacks Calcinit at times to boost the nitrogen other then that I add nothing else.. oh sorry except drip clean... I have a RO system but prefer plain tap water. Please feel free to ask any question..

here is how I run my trellis... I tack a stake in each corner of the pot with a dab of hot glue... I then take the green pruning wire and make ring ropes around all 4 stake, securing each corner with a dab of hot glue..I have used some white string simply for this photo so you can see how I run my wire as the wire itself doesn't show up in the photo's worth a dam... Some plants will have 3 ring ropes and others will have one... It works amazingly well and lets me grow some massive plants in a very small area.. 6 OZ plant that takes up no more than 15" x 15" of floor space... and 5 oz plants taking up 12 " x 12" .. by caging my plants like this it makes them far more manageable ..You just have to make sure you use stakes that are as tall as the plants , I made that mistake with some of my SBG( Strawberry Banana, Grape) plants.... I used 36" stakes when I needed 48" and the plants fell over... I have tried trellising into a net but I hated not being able to fully get at my plants especially when I had a breakout of powdery mildew...
Folded over SBG 1... I needed to run taller Stakes and a taller upper ring rope
