Hey guys, as the title states i have a perpetual grow on the go, let me tell you a little about it.

8 - 1000w hortilux hps bulbs
4 - 1000w MH/HPS ballasts
1 - 4 ballast/8bulbs flip flop
4 - 8" elicent inline fans
2 - 8x8 grow tents
8 - 6" cool tubes

All my plants are put into 7gallon containers.
Full line of GH nutes.
Promix sunshine.
Vegged until 36" - 3ft tall.
4 White Rhino plants per 1000watts.

At this time i only have 4000watts going and im ending week 2. My other tent will be fully funtional after my clones are rooted. With 16 plants per 4000watts im hoping to get 4 - 4.5 lbs. The theory behind this is that i did this with one light and got 18oz, so im shooting low for a 4.5lb estimate so im happy later. Plants have been taking hell of a feeding and these 7 gallon pots are doing amazing. Heres a quick pic of them 6 days ago.

Sorry il post pics when i get home.

Here are some pictures. Today they have been on 12/12 for 15 days. I already have buds the size of dimes and im pleased so far. Pics kinda suck, can anyone tell me how to get a detail pic without the light interfering with the camera? thanks. These plants will go to about 57-60 days. They currently stand about 4ft 4inches.




Thanks guys, any feedback would be appreciated.

Turn the HPS off and use your flash. The HPS washes out the picture. Nice grow.

I'm doing an 8k perpetual in ebb and grow. Make sure you take more cuts than you need so when it comes down to that deadline date you can pick and choose who is ready. That has been my downfall in the past.

Nice setup, are you planning on trimming growth below a certain point? I would think that these are, what, about 5'-6' tall now at the end of stretch? That lower growth wont get much light
