i soaked my reflector with dish soap and scrubbed with a green ruff textured sponge it came off with alot of elbow grease and soaking. it looks just as good as it did when i got it.

it tottaly worked if you ever see a reflector with smoke damage then just soak it in dish soap and use some elbow grease you'll lose about 15% reflectivity but thats better than shelling out another 110 for a new one

If your going for a 6 plant harvest every two weeks, you are limiting yourself to one method of growing.. SEA OF GREEN

Unlike some threads have posted, sea of green has nothing to do with a level canopy or a forest of bud or any other nonsense like that. It has to do with time...And the money you make in a short period of time. Your main problem is size... To get 6 plants every two weeks you will need 4 rows of 6 plants, 24 in total. That is a 5ft. x 5ft. space approx. or 6ft. x 4ft. Thats 1 plant every square foot. In a space that tight you will only be harvesting one bud per plant..(the cola)..Which is not a bad thing..

So your flower room would look like this, First Row: Clones that have been vegging for two weeks.

Second Row: Clones beginning to flower.

Third Row: Clones in heavy flower.

Fourth Row: Clones ready to harvest.

Every 2 weeks you take out 6 plants move each row over one and add 6 new clones that have been vegging two weeks.

So lets recap... You will need a 5ft x 5ft space for flower...A 3ft x 3ft for six mother plants and 12 clones(always have six clones ready to go while six more are vegging)..A small place to root cuttings. 2ft x 2ft is plenty. And then a place to dry and cure.. (thats gonna be around 7 to 12 ounces of bud to hang up). And since they wont be ready yet, you will be hanging more bud before bagging the previous harvest. So now your looking at a large space just to dry buds..

So now that you have a bedroom set aside for this...lets get to the hard part of this... ALL OF IT!!!!! Every single fucking day you will be working....Every single day.. You will be trimming leaves(regardless of every reasonable argument to the contrary) everyday...You will be adjusting light heights constantly...You will be mixing fertilizers, checking Ph, and watering atleast some plants everyday. You will constantly have to check levels, maintain equipment, clean area daily..

Now we can harvest.. Cutting monster buds is fun....for the first couple pounds
Trimming monster buds is fun......for the first couple pounds. After that first couple pounds though.....ITS SUCKS BALLS.

Then its time to empty all those pots, wash em out, add new dirt. Then get 6 cuttings from the mothers, dip em, plant em. Then move 6 rooted clones to the veg chamber(usually requires repotting) , move 6 veg clones to flower chamber(usually requires repotting)..

Well, two weeks is up, lets do it again.....no wait your still trimming bud from last batch....HURRY THE HELL UP.

Are there ways around this scenario?.....sure there are. If you like doing it and have the time to dedicate.....It is a killer way to make fast cash....But if you want the absolute best, grow a batch full term and relax.... with the space you have now you can easily get a couple pounds every 8 weeks and you have time to enjoy it...

I cant stress enough how much work is involved in sea of green....but if you have time, you still need more space... Im Just Sayin

i wouldn't need 6 mothers what the f is that about i have 2 mothers with enough branching to take 6 off of each plant and picking the best out of the 3 for growing. i have made a auto trimmer for youtube/drill im not saying it won't be a bitch its a labor or love for my medi. i suffer for ptsd for iraq. i have lots of time at night i don't sleep well anymore and it helps me keep from panicing of fliping out. i am not worried about transplanting i take the cuttings put them in a dwc cloner them once i have a nice little root showing 3 gallon bucket 2 weeks and they spend their rest of their life in them. one bag of ocean forest and a bag of perilit will fill up my 6 3 gallon buckets then its just moving them down the line and disposing of the huge root mass at the end i use only fox farm one them but i use GH duo i just got some for the hydro shop and its ok so far its stained my roots so i flushed them till they were white again but its pretty good for 30 bucks a complete nutrient solution i just hope it fairs well. i again suffer from ptsd and i don't feel comfortable out inpublic. thanks for your input sir rance alot. i apperciate the looking out! rep+
