So I just want to show you my new plants, and my other one I pretty much killed my buddy dropped a huge a/c unit on it, it was like dead and I trimmed all the dead, smashed shit and a few days later it came back, I'm using jack classic nuts, my plants have been under watered due to me not having it setup right, but I've added a ton more lighting and created a drainage system for my buckets using gutters an a sump pump, I have a raptor hood in a 1000 watt hps, 3 x 400 watt mh hanging in the mix, 2 x 400 watt hps both vertical one is in a cool tube I made going to the raptor of fan I created to make as my duct fan, and now I have a 12,000 btu a/c unit keeping it 68-74 at all times, co2 might be coming but not there yet, I've got a total of about 30-40 plants flowering, mainly going to redo the room as I was in a 11x8 before, now It's 14x11.. I'm curious how much bud I will get off my new plants with all the new lighting, cooling, as my temps were 95 before, the entire grow, I yielded a half to a oz off each plants, I had 9 of them going, I just picked my last one's today, I also learned how to top so my new plants in the flowering room are 10 x more bushy then tall and slanky, I've learned a shit ton but still need a lot to go but I've got tons of time and effort and work and I just want it to get better and better, I'm very happy with the crop I've had though, very good stuff, also I forgot to mention I had a male seed pollen and open up and nothing even hermied my shit, not to mention I had problems with my timers, light leakage, my light blew during flowering so I had to use a mh unit then, so yeah I didn't know shit before but in the past few months I've learned a lot and I will consider and take any knowledge or tips anyone's got, I'm also going to scrog about 20 or so plants on the side, I will be adding 1-2 raptor hoods and a few more vertical lighting since Michigan will be cold and I can get free a/c, I've got a total of maybe $2,000 in my total setup(including all my plants) and already got over double my money back, and I thought for sure my crops would be shit so I guess I didn't do too bad, lots of work no doubt but in the end it all pays off. Anyways here is some pictures of just my two and more will be coming this week when I'm done with my room, then I will start working on my veg room much better.

ps; the pic is my buddy not me, his pic came out better

Not trying to talk shit or put you down, not my style, however seeing how that plant turned out I imagine you would have done a lot better doing SOG or SCROG? Do away with the plastic tubs & get fabric pots (1 month of growth per gallon) and get your lights as close to the plants as possible, I can't remember the exact numbers but I believe a 1000W light becomes 50% less effective at about 3ft away so get your hood as close to your plants as possible without burning them.

It was a joint and I don't think he was expecting to do it because I just chopped them down before he got in there.

There is about 30 or so plants in the corner of the room, I'm finishing the frame and drain system I had a few problems but figured it out I'll show a few pics of my complete setup and goodies hopefully this week, and they will be around 3-4 weeks into flowering.

after that bud dried i bet he cryed
Well I yielded 6 oz($350 x 6) off 9 plants, so I think I did pretty good for a total of $500 investment and lots of fun, and I didnt lose out and got pretty damn high, I'm still drying out these new one's which should get me a good 2-3 oz off 3 plants which isn't bad, my goal is 3-4 oz per plant, which the one flowering for only 3 weeks is going to for sure be that if not more.
 
I think the problem with this thread is that there is a huge paragraph about a wicked sounding setup, and then underneath there is just a few random pictures from over the years...

Don't make no sense!

:p

If this Ryan 1918 is happy , way to go. In the future maybe get a new camera or practice taking pictures in focus. Outdoor season is exciting right now so indoor crops can't compete, in some ways. Keep working on your system and if you take better pictures, people will notice

What do you mean over the years that was within mins apart, and the reason I didn't want to show the rest of my grow as it was a entire mess I was still building the frames and drain systems and re-setting up the lighting and my scrog net, pics will most likely coming in a few days.
