What do you think my chances are?

So - over a period of couple of months, I have been accumulating some equipment.

Firstly, the clone and mother tent to the left, the Flower tent to the right.

The top light is a 4ft twin electronic fluro fitting. One bulb is a Grow Lux and the other a standard bulb. I am thinking I only require one Grow Lux - will blank the other tube out........(you need two bulbs in an electronic fitting to make it work). Any trick to by-pass this stupid quirk?

IMG_0330.jpgBottom light is a Son-t 150w HPS. Wholesalers wanted $300.00nzd for the ballast. Made my own up for $90.00nzd. I think 2 mother plants will yield me 8-10 cuttings every 2 weeks from this light.

I am very surprised by the temperature in the clone void - 27 degrees C with no fan and a mild summer day. The mother tent is actually cooler by 1 degree with no fan also. Will install a 100m axial fan to service both spaces, with speed & digital control, lower speed less noise I say.



Below is the inside of the flowering room. 1m2 foot print, 150mm dia hood - 400w HPS (what are your thoughts for a 600?).

4 reservoirs - cycle every 2 weeks for a 8 week harvest - maybe 2.2 week cycles ??

Ebb and flow using the below:
IMG_0346.jpg IMG_0343.jpg1.8ltr square/round pots @ 165mm tall, rockwool packed into the bottom and perlite to fill. Rockwool cube with clone buried into this. Fill tray 75mm flood? Probably use 6 per tray - 8 seems a bit much. 6 x 4 = 24 or 8 x4 =32 ??


Below is the 150mm fan for the hood, speed controlled and paralleled feed from the light circuit.

I think this will act as a silencer both for the fan and air exhaust....?

The temperature is controlled by a digital controller - 240v - STC1000 with 2 relays to control both heater and fan.

I will be running Canna products. Have a pH pen and CF truncheon. H202 on the way.

I find it hard to find verified strands - have a couple of indica strands, so that will have to do for now.

So - what do you think my chances are of 1/4oz per rod, and work upwards.

I think you could get 1/4oz per plant with no effort at all. Keep your feeding tight and temps right and you could get much more easily.

Should work bro. When winter comes make sure you have a heat mat and dome for clones to keep it at 27. Below 25 they don't work to well. If there is an issue in clone room, the whole cycle is fucked.
