It's back to what I started with. For the past couple years I've been giving Soil a try. This was mostly due to budgetary constraints but I also was trying to get biweekly harvests.

The quality was good but the yields were poor. I did learn many techniques that I think will apply to Hydro such as screen of green and pruning.

Anyways, the new grow is complete and the plants are in.

Here's what I'm working with:

Set up:
Room Size: 8x10
Walls: Flat white
Floor: white thermal plastic overlay(roofing material)

Ventilation: 1 6" intake fan, 1 6"output fan.
A/C: 8000BTU
Filter: Canfilter on 8" inline, scrubbing the room

Lighting: 4 600watt electronic ballasts in ventilated cabinet separate from grow environment. 2400 watt total, may upgrade to 4K. Saturn 6, inline hoods. Hortilux HPS bulbs.

Hydro system:
EBB Monster, 50 Gallon res, 12 pots(5gallons)
Airstones in each bucket, and res.
Hydroton+rock wool grow medium
Control bucket H2O saturated with CO2 during feeding cycle.
1/10 HP chiller for res
SCROG

Strains: Big Buddah Cheese & Strawberry Banana Kush.

So sorry for the lack of updates, I've been working like crazy this summer. So the plants have been in the set up for about a month. The BBC was in a 6" rockwool cube and about two feet tall when it went in. The SBK was just clones. I'm using basic nutes at the moment, just remnants of my Humbolt County's Own. I'll probably purchase the line up one last time before I switch.

I just flipped it over to 12/12 so expect more updates as the more interesting phase begins

I certainly got myself into trouble, they are far too large and over grown. I intended to SCROG but I've been so busy I just didn't get to it. I'm going to do some defanning this weekend and clean them up a bit. Since I posted this my SBK has already hit the lights :/
