Proposed grow room

I've attached an image of my grow room.

There are 3 main areas:

Mothers (9 or 10 Plants)

Clones (144 Plants)

Flowers (128 Plants in SOG) - 128 as some clones are expected to die

I expect to pull 8lbs every 2 months. Let me know if you think this is doable.

anyone have any thoughts?

why are you separating mothers from clones? wouldn't it be more economical to incorporate them into one vegging room and same with flowering?

Clones will be separated due to space constraints. I feel like the 10 mother plants will grow bigger separated and thus will produce more clones over time.

The clones are grown under flouros for a week or so and then moved into flowering. 2 weeks prior to harvest clones are taken from mothers and the cycle continues.

How do you feel about my projected yield?

I feel it'd be larger if you vegged longer!

What do you suggest for length of time in veg state?

3 weeks to two months. patience and meticulous care pay off like a mofo

if i veg for 3 weeks, with the way i have it planned, i wont fit 128 plants in flower... you think ill get a better yield going less than 128 plants at 3 weeks veg time?

yeah most likely, try searching up on topping, fimming and super cropping.

So, I've looked up super cropping as I've known about topping and fimming techniques for a while... seems like super cropping is what you do when you cannot go the SOG route...

Anyone else wanna take a look at my proposed grow room and give some advice on setup/yield?

Yes, it's doable....
I'm doing this right now. Just fewer plants. I could not get cloning 100% untill I moved them out of the mother room into their own little grow tent. I follow the Al B. Fuct "batch of clones in rockwool" method to the letter and have not lost one yet.
128 plants is gonna be a lot of work....

My only issue is going to be watering all of the plants- as I have given zero space in between the 6" pots they'll be flowering in.

Hydro or soil?

Soil.

I deliberated a lot on this one. At the end of the day hydro is more risky for me in terms of keeping everything going, if something goes wrong for 1- more likely than not its going to go wrong for all. Also, hydro costs more to start, could be costly to maintain.

Soil gives me a comfort zone if plants start to look bad I have more time to remedy the situtation.

With soil I can move things around as needed, make sure plants on the edge of the room can be rotated to the center.

Also, soil gives me the ability to have access to all plants and trim/top where needed.

Are you doing a perpetual SOG?

I was growing my mothers in soil until i noticed how much faster the Ebb&Flow was. I do agree with you on the if one has a problem they all have the problem thing. I'm dealing with root rot in my mothers right now. At least I had taken cuttings to replace a few of them.

One way I'm avoiding this is by keeping seperate reservoirs for each flood table. I've even added a second system to my mother room to avoid cross contamination and allow me to work with different strength nute solutions.

No. A perpetual SOG would be too time consuming and would provide a larger margin for error when dealing with feedings and harvest. Also, with a perpetual plants would be different size, i feel like an even canopy will benefit all plants instead of having taller ones that cast shadows. I plan on harvesting the entire flowering room every 2 months.

I had a real problem with crowding, air movement, and heat when I had mine on 6 inch centers. Ended up with a hermie or two, but that's all it took...
I'm interested in seeing this work. Keep us posted.

In my honest opinion and thats all it is, is my opinion, i dont think the 8lbs is doable. Sorry to be the bad guy. Just a warning, doing that many plants in soil is going to be very, very much work..thats alot of water unless u set of some sort of drip or something like that..either way 150+ plants in soil
=alot of long nights spent watering...and honestly, i dont think the 8lbs every 2 months is really a realistic harvest..maybe closer to 3 tops and thats pushing it...the longer u veg, the closer u will get to 8Lbizzles, but i dont see u pulling that every 2 months out of a soil S.o.G. And if u can prove to me that u do yield 8lbs , please, please, sell me the blueprints to the room, every minute detail and every fan, light, and nute brand and specific kinds that u have and ill give ya $5,000 cash money? thats a promise...keep me update....do a journal so we can all see?And hey believe me, not hating bro, actually ill be rooting for u, cause i wanna know how u do it so i can copy..not even gonna lie..lol...im outty..peace..Ganja

and i just seen the post where u already aknowledged that its going to be a monstrosity trying to water..so i apologize for telling u again

128 plants under a 400w and a 600w will not produce a zip per plant (dried and cured weight)....Am I just giving you my opinion...no. I am giving you an answer based on my experiance as a perpetual SOG grower running 160 plants at a time in a 8'x12' flower room. I run Ebb and Flow and use six 600w dimable digitals w/ CO2.

You are looking to achieve an oz. (dried) per plant x 128 plants with 1000watts total (can't be done).....I'v attached a cpl of pics of my grow for you to compare what your hoping to obtain vs. what you can actually produce. I'm not trying to discourage you from your venture, just trying to help you realise that to make money, you have to spend money and do it right (your setup) the first time. Maybe start a smaller grow with the equiptment you have on hand and go from there. Also you should really look into building you a hydr setup vs. soil.
