What do you think of this?

Flowering room:

Three 4' x 4' ebb and flow tables under four 400 watt warm spectrum halides water cooled on light rails. Grown in 4" square pots with 70% Perlite 30% coco.

Veg room:

One 4' x 6' ebb and flow under one 1000 watt blue spectrum halide for veg

Mothers grown in 5 gal DWC buckets under T5/halide

Clones grown in a EZ Clone Aeroponic machine under T5 lighting

How I'm gonna do it:

Grow mothers big and bushy so I can cut lots of clones. Cut 120 clones and use 100 or so of them. Keep in cloning machine for a week to a week and a half then transfer to flood table for another week or week and a half (3 weeks total growth including cloning) Keep a couple extra in 4' x 6' table for new mothers if needed.

After three weeks is up I transfer 100 plants to the flower room and flower for 9 weeks and so on with the cycle.

Any suggestions?
Not sure what strain yet either . . . . .

I'm going to squeeze 80 plants into each 4' x 4' table in my flower room. Each pot is going to be 4.25" x 4.25" So I guess I won't need as many clones as I said! I want extras though so I never fall out of my schedule. I'm not going to let them get very big. I use Humboldt County's Bush Master to keep them short. I'm going with an Indica Dominant plant too. All three tables will share four 400 watt Warm spectrum Halides I'm going to water cool, enabling me to put the lights extremely close to the plants.

I was thinking that might be a problem. I might consider going with fewer bigger plants instead. I'm not sure which will yield better. To keep a perfect 9 week cycle I'll need to clone/veg for 3 weeks. . . . .

i heard a 4x4 table is great for 16 plants strait into flower from clone.

so you may only want 8-10 and veg for 2 or 3 weeks maybe

I'm currently doing my first flood table. It's 4' x 6'. I'm using one 1000 watt hps on a light rail. My medium is a coco mat, 4" rockwool, and hydroton. I have 38 plants in it right now. They are growing nice. I am limited to how tall I can grow. I want them to be under two feet or 2 feet max when finished.

ddid u put them into flower as soon as they had roots in the rockwool.... if not man expect 2x or 3x growth from when you turn them to 12/12

Even on the light rail. I don't think that you would be happy with the 400 versus a 600. Depends really on how fast of growth you are looking for on the veg area there. Other wise. Sounds nice.

I'm going with 400 because they put out less heat. After water cooling them they will have pretty much no heat at all. Then I can put the lights extremely close. And because there is no 600 watt metal halide warm spectrum bulb I know of.

No I'm still in veg. Like I said I'm using Bushmaster. That shit really works good. It keeps your plants from growing tall

LOL sounds funny I know. I like my woman to shave! Humboldt County is a brand of plant food that are used for growing what we grow. They have 3 products I know of and use. First Bushmaster, keeps your plants short and bushy. Second is Gravity flower hardener, swells up your buds and makes them denser. Third is Purple Maxx, this is my favorite. Purple Maxx increases resin production and turns your plants purple. I buy them from a local store, but I have seen them all on ebay.

Wont get light down of u veg them unless u have a 1000 watt on each table , i use a 800 watt duel spectrum light, only 4 plants an i flower as soon as rooted an they still want more light, plus my hood is vented 170 cfm fan and has glass in at 4 inches away from glass is 77 degrees f. Without expensive water chiller an water cooled tubes, good luck.

You're lucky. In the summer time my grow rooms get really hot and temperature is a big issue. I have used 1000 watt hps and 400 watt hps and had the same sized buds. I just know 1000 watts puts out a lot of heat and fan/air cooling won't cut it. Using a water chiller will enable me to get rid of my air conditioner and use less energy then an AC. I can afford to use c02 I will probably just air cool due the fact I'll need higher temps then. I will be growing large single colas.
