150W HID & CFL Perpetual grow

I have just finnished setting up my little perpetual grow.
It'll just be for personal use.
Root cuttings under 2x10W T8's in a PC case
Veg under 4x4' T5's in small veg box
Flower under aircooled 150W MH and 4x45W CFL's(2700k)
Been sorting out timer and heat issue's on this first plant, but the next one should go smooth.

I plan on a harvest every month, but still dialing in what will be best.
Atm i a growing 1 plant under the 150W with the second due to go under in a week or two. I've tried to get as many sites under the 150W as i can. Just not so sure the LST and topping is gonna be good enough for the little 150W. Might switch two 4 smaller clones grown SOG with a 2 plant harvest every month.......
Opinions welcome and there will be an update weekly...

Plants have received little attention. Only veg nutes once a week through a water trough. I've only had time to attend to them once a week for about 10min a time , but there are two under the 150W now. I increased P and K today so hopefully that'll help her fill out.i just hope the stretch has stopped as I am very limited with vertical space. I've tied down some of the taller buds as they were getting close to the reflector. Cuttings are in week two now. Lower leaves have been trimmed off and ive stopped foliar spraying to promote root growth. I also gave them I tiny bit of seaweed tea to kick start their growth. The flower room only has one 45W cfl in it atm as I hav'nt had the time to set up the others. When I add the next plant to the flower room in 3wks time, I will add the other 3 cfl's to get better coverage. Sorry for the bad pics. the girls were sleeping last when I snapped a few pics....Update in a week or two

Some shots of the recently rooted clones...I use a 70%coco and 30% potting soil to root my clones in. They get sprayed twice a day, every day of the first week. They have usually rooted by day8. they only receive water from a trough from then on to promote root growth. This photo is taken on day 9/10

the 150W MH and 42W cfl doing their thing....

Quick update. Two different phenos out of some good bag seed. Pheno one has been under the 150W for about 5 weeks now, and pheno 2 for 3 weeks. Pheno 2 is def the better one, producing twice the trics and bud formation looks much better than pheno1

starting to swell....I just hope that the power failure last week hasn't hurt them to much.
I'd say its doing alright as its only under a 150W
I put my next girl into flowering as she was getting to big in the veg room.Got 20+ cuts off her so hopefully she wont stretch out much in flower.
there are now 3plants under the 150W, all topped and trained.
Most of the new cuttings will be planted outdoors once rooted..
4 will be saved and vegged till there is space in flowering.
I started 2 bb blue cheese fem seeds last night in pots with my seed mix(low nute mix, no perlite) so hopefully ill get a decent pheno to play with for a while. Im Having fun with the 150W

end of week 5 for pheno1 and end of week 3 for pheno2.
the pics are crappy as I rushed to take them, but u can make out the two different phenotypes. Same bagseed

I am in week 6 now with pheno1 and she is starting to fill in nicely.
pheno 2 has a slightly skunky smell to her now as she enters week4 of 12/12
pic one is of pheno1
pic two - pheno2
pic three - 150Woverview

Finally got time to take a few better pics....things moving along nicely.

Pheno 1 has been harvested and is busy drying/curing. I'll post some dry bud pics and total weight. I'm guessing around 2 zips....She didn't go as long as she could have, but I needed to get her out, as she wasn't very desirable. Pheno 2 is proving much better though, as you can see in the pics.Much nicer tric production(larger crystals) and a sweeter smell than pheno1. Both came from the same bag seed and exhibited similar traits, both having quite a strong piney smell durin growth. Pheno2 has got some cheesiness to her tho..
