Looking good like always.
Yea I only got 4.5 pounds of Pk off 4 lights and 42 plants.
I had a problem with heat because of a leak around the outtakes. I didnt have enough btu's to do 4 lights. I was burning to much co2 1800.. I set it to 1500 and it worked out better.
Also the a/c was stealing co2 and the burner had to work more.
Now im still doing the cooltubes. But instead of the a/c im switching to a 2 fan 3 coal chiller that is twice as many btu's and 1/3 of the power consumption.
I also could have used another row of 8 plants... I got 45 grams a plant. There was enough light to probly do 2 more rows of 8.
Live and you learn.
With a better setup and everything i learned i think im going to be well off in the future.
I should have gotten at least 1.5 a light. Sealed rooms rock. Before i was only getting .8 a light. Now im getting 1.15. wow haha
Next time there is going to be two rooms. I have a flip flop for 4 lights and i got 4 digital switchable ballast. Im going to buy more equitment and i am going to have 8 lights of Pk coming down every two months. Im thinking 2 week veg and 25-30 plants per light. I think i will reach my goal for Purple Kush 1.5 lbs a light.

Ya, that is a pretty good for Pk. It is going to be a tough strain to try and pull a gpw. It sounds like you got shit under control now, but I would suggest running that chiller through your reserviors too. The reservior temperature is as/or more important as he ambient room temps ( IMO). When I dropped my res temperatures to 68 from 78, my yeild went up and plants look much healthier. I think 1.5 per light is a good goal.

I just wanted to share what I am planning on adding to my set-up. Currently I am running two 1000w with ocho reflectors long ways over the trays with light rail mover. I am adding one more 1000w with another ocho, turning the reflectors perpendicular to the trays and removing the mover. I will be adding an 8" fan to push air through the exhaust ducting along with the 6" exhaust fan I already have pulling air. This will give me 3000 watts over two 4'x4' trays. One fan on each end and looping the ducting to connect to each relfector. I am planning on doing this between runs in a few weeks. I drew up a rough sketch of what i am talking about. I am open to any suggestions or opinions.

Looks like it will work perfectly Raider 
What's your thoughts on having the 8" fan sucking and the 6" blowing?

Well, I already have the 6" vortec now, which I use with the two lights. So I was thinking of just changing to an 8", but not sure with all the bends in the ducting if I will need the extra fan yet.Looks like it will work perfectly Raider
I hear you on that. I use that 6" now and it cools both lights great. I would actually not even worry about another fan with another light except for the bends in the ducting. I may just try out the 6" and see how it works before I get the 8". I haven't bought anything yet.

So I have nother little issue. lol I am leaving for a week on the 1st and am trying to figure out if I should harvest before or after I leave. I would have to take them down on Day 54 or 55 if I pull them before I leave, or day 65 if I let them go. I have harvested the OCD the last couple of runs around 56 days, but that is mainly because the pk was done. The OCD has looked like it could have gone a little longer. Right now, the trichs are still mostly clear. I will have to see what they look like next week and decide. If I do let them go longer I will flush before I leave and fill reserviors with plain ph'd water while I am gone. Anyway, I am just thinking out loud here. lol
Here are some pics. The buds do look a little smaller this round with a shorter veg, but still looking good.

raider always with the nice pics! those buds are sexy im dying for some good indoor/hydro fucking outdoor all day around here
i agree with quick let em go til u get back, have u ever tried pure molasses ?? you should test it on one plant and see if it bulks up bigger than the ones without it cause i keep hearing ppl telling me to try it but nothing growing right now

Thanks for the suggestions, that is probably what I will do unless the trichs are amber before I leave. I would love to throw some molasses in the mix, but I am afraid if I put molasses in my resrviors and through my pumps, chillers, etc..... that I would have a big fuckin mess. I may be wrong, but that is why I haven't messed with molasses.

Im gonna do drain to waste. Ur talking about chilling the res for the fan chiller with a 1/3 hp chiller?
Or in your food res? Im confused haha.
I know people that are getting 2.2 a light with purple kush! They were getting 1.8 then they switched to digital ballast and are now getting 2.2
That of course is in a 20 light show with "who knoes what" for equitment.

I haven't heard that one yet, but it sounds like it would work. I think I am gonna stick with the budxl though. I have run Botanicare Sweet before with h&g, but didn't really notice much of a difference. I might give the molasses trick though sometime. I know it does wonders with my outdoor.
I was actually talking about both. They make drop in coils that you can use to chill your reserviors with a room chiller unit. Something like thisIm gonna do drain to waste. Ur talking about chilling the res for the fan chiller with a 1/3 hp chiller?

I haven't heard of anyone getting 2 gpw from clone only sr71 PK before, but that doesn't mean it is isn't happening somewhere. lol There are however, several different "purple kush" strains floating around. I myself would be stoked to hit the 1 gpw with the pk.
I have been close, but haven't hit it yet.
