Thanks beech i didn't know how to do that. Least i got him this time and quick!!
Man hope my WW and PPP clones pull through....i'll be so pissed if i lose twenty clones due to cold.

I'll be adding my plans later for how the grow will go after these flowering ones get out and harvested.

I think it will be a SOG with 16 plants in each section, running in three week intervals. That would be 48 plants not including the next 20 cloning.
What ya think?

Sounds like alot of work.When i did the get a harvest every 2 weeks by AL,and getting 5 every 2 weeks was a job.Having to maintain just that amount of clones with decent size was my biggest problem,gl with it LMF.

Sounds like a plan! Wow, Lilmafia....going from a nube not having a clue what he is doing, everyone thinking he would not last, growing like a pro now, giving others advice, and having a 48 plant rotation. Nice dude.

+Rep to you if I can give ya rep again

Lilmafia has been doing his homework.

Well, if i can get passed some minor problems with clonong, and having a quick turn around on clones rooting, i should be good. Everything else is just watching and waiting.
I'll add some official plans and layout later. I got the idea from another thread i saw on here. The guy grew like 72 plants in small gatorade bottles, SOG method, in two cabinets. My plans call for only 16 plants per rotation, but they will be small for the SOG.

Thanks Kratose, stick around we'll get you there too!!!

Lilmafia has been doing his homework.

Yup, been dieing to try out the SOG and see the comparison to the way i am growing now. Who knows maybe i'll try SCROG after this for awhile. I love this hobby!!!!

Thanks Kratose, stick around we'll get you there too!!!

haha....good 1

It is a good hobby huh? I love it

LMF ,watching and waiting has been very hard for you remember?When you say 16 do you mean every 2 weeks?ARE get 4 every 2 weeks and 16 total,cause when i did the 20 and 5 every 2 weeks was hard. Your gonna be doing alot of working too!

What up guys!!! Just woke up to about two feet of snow outside my door. NO WORK TODAY!!!!!
Yup, i know there will be more work involved, but i go to the farm every day as it is.
Beech, My cycle will be:
3 sections, 16 plants per section, running in 3 week intervals.
WW and PPP both call for a 8-9 week flowering time. 3 sections in 3 week intervals, 16 plants per harvest, works out right including a two to three week clone time.
I gotta get to finishing the drawing for you guys so you can see.
I'm on it!

Eh, you can always downsize.. GL with that..
Just out of curiousity though, what has changed since the days a few weeks+ ago when you were looking into Bounce sheets as your primary odour control??

I don't know i have had no problems with odor yet. Haven't had to do anything, you can't smell a thing even right outside the door. I pulled the door stuck my nose to it, and nothing. It smelled like oranges. I bought about five odor absorbers and have them placed around the plants cabinet, also have odor absorbers that collect moisture from the air. Also i have about 100 car air freshners hung around the house and basement that the farm is at.
Forgot all about the bounce sheets. I think i'm gonna need something for odor when it comes to drying though. I've been checking out Panheads "$40.00, 4 day bud dryer in the DIY section.
Thanks Born

Ok guys here is my ghetto drawing of the plans for the SOG cabinet cycle.
Each section is for a three week rotation, with 16 plants per section. Plants will be a max of 1.5 feet, allowing 16-18 inches above the plants for the light distance. Since HID only penetrates three feet anyway, my plants at 1.5 feet will get complete light coverage, and will focus on the canopy of tops, iunlike the way they grow now for me.( scattered, and diff. heights)LOL!!!
The top pic is of the top view of plants.The next is a front view showing the light and plant layout. Each will have a 400 w MH for flowering. The clones will come off the plants being moved from cabinet 1 to cabinet 2, and will stay in the trays for two-three weeks.
Any thoughts on this would be great on how to improve this or make it better.

That looks great man as long as you can control the heat for all that you will be fine and should be harvesting close to or more than a pound every three weeks. I'm sure it will take a little while to get it down to a harvest every 3 weeks on schedule but once you do it will be well worth it. Keep us posted man and good luck even though you don't need it lol

Not true.....I need all the luck i can get, and help too!!LOL!!!
It will take some time, but it is waht i believe will give me the most for my room and time involved. A lb every three weeks is fine with me, that's more than enough. Can't wait to see how it works!

I should point out that you don't even know how long your plants need to mature yet, so its a little early to fine tune the plan.. Its a proven strategy no doubt, but the work can really add up.. And like any farmer, when work needs to be done, IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.. No scheduling excuses when you have that much to lose..

Not to mention, with that much on the line you will be tied down with the grow!!!When i was doing the 5 every 2 weeks i was tied down more than i wanted,Cause once its full your commited for 8 weeks.I suggest less plants and 2 weeks on the cycle.

Yea, no more 10 minute in/out trips, thats for sure.. And then there is manicuring.. I never thought I'd ever look at a giant pile of weed and wish it wasn't so big, but when you have to trim up 30 plants all by yourself, and exams are coming up...

Well according to my strains, White Widow and PPP, they call for 8-9 weeks for flowering. My cycles are three sets of three weeks totalling 9 weeks together. So if it only takes 8 weeks to finish, then i have a week to play with for manicuring and tinkering. This also allows me the option to harvest at different times, for different highs.

I never take a ten minute trip to the farm. At least an hour or two everyday. I don't work all winter long pretty much, so this should get me through the winter!!LOL!!!
LOL, i know what ya' mean....i have two guys to help me manicure, so it should be ok.
I understand where you are coming from, about fine tuning the plan, but this whole thing was just an experiment to me anyway. Now it's time to move on to another experiment...SOG!
