whats up guys back again starting a new thread with the same grow room just with all my equipment this time. so as the title states im at 6 400w hps,s in the flower room and my room is a 8x8x6 which is why i chose on the 400,s vs upgrading to bigger lights. the trays are 2x4,s each 2 sharing a rez each half of the room on 4 week cycles for perpetual monthly harvest,s. now the room is a little short on plants at the moment but i got 2 more coming in on the one side and will be filling the other half in a few weeks time.
strains are white widow and bubba kush. comments are welcome let me know what you guys think.

Here are some pics of the veg area. i had stopped flowering to get some nice moms going as i did not do this last time and it put me in binds. now i have also got my cloning down just right i am now using hormex rooting hormone in the feed water at the bottom of the cloning tray as well as soaking the plugs before plugging clones into them, i also use clones rooting gel and split the stem up 1" and get roots in 7 days ready for transplant shortly after that.
I veg clones for no specific time just until all are from 7 to 9" tall then straight to flower where i will be lollypopping the lower third for more light intensity to the canopy colas.
and the smaller mom in the bucket is my bubba and the monster is the WW mother.

I am having a hard time figuring what you did with the filter/scrubber connected to a inline fan then connected to your hoods. How does that work? Is the inline sucking air away from the filter so its actually pushing air through your hoods? If thats the case, why not put the fan at the end of the chain so its filter + hoods + fan venting out?

the fan actually sucks air from the room itself through the filter then runs through the hoods then out the room itself so the air is scrubbed before it even cools the lights.

Apologies if you have told us already but have you run the lights a full 12 hours and monitored the temps the room runs at yet? Also what size fan is drawing through the scrubber....6 hoods and then out....must be pretty big!

the fan is a 440 cfm fan it cools them all fairly well they are only 400's after all. all together they acumulate about 2400 watts might need to get a little portable ac unit in the near future but that wont be a problem as well. temps are fine at the moment around 75 to 80F with lights on. all ?? welcome dont have a problem answering them keep it green fellas.

Wouldn't it be better to have the fan at the very end so its pulling all the way through rather than pulling then pushing the air through the hoods? inline fans work best at pulling not pushing. I had a similar set up but decided it was best to duct just the hoods with a dedicated inline and have a scrubber on a timer that I can turn on and off manually as well from the outside of the room as needed.

it can be done ether way this is one of the only ways to have it set in a room of this size, if i find another way i might change it around but for now its working good.

for temp only its the cheaper model but i needed it badly as my other harvests in the past where all with not even a thermometer in there lol so the unit is very nice for a piece of mind knowing the temps are all in check.

I took them down a week ago and have a new batch going in a DIY aero system to veg them up before going
into the ebb&grow. went 9 1/2 weeks with a 1 1/2 weeks of flush, got a Q about flushing in hydro being that
this was my first hydro grow I though 1 1/2 weeks of constant res changes of strait water would be enough
to get clean smoke. but not all but some seem not to burn as clean as I would like! all my years of growing
have been in soil and 1 1/2 weeks is plenty. just wondering if next time I should use a flushng product? Il post
some pics of my new batch soon.

Hey Dr ,

Everything looks superb.

What medium is your Mother in?
Are you F&D the clones to the left of the mother?

I think i worked out why my cloning success rate was so poor.
The health of my mother. I am going to re pot in a bucket like yours.
What is the EC you feed your mother?
Did you drill wholes at the bottom?
How many? What size?

Love your work Dr!
I will be watching this grow for sure!
