I use a shop vac, I recently bought one with a handle and two big wheels, I hate it wish I had gotten the small swivel wheels. Also since your sucking up such big volume they have one with a pump that will pump the water out.

Got a cheap wet and dry one 10gallons from Walmart just sold my 2012 tundra to make it threw till harvest!!!
Damn, hate that you had to do that. I fully understand the struggle though. I've been playing catch up all year, I invested all my money into buying this house and half way setting up. Been trying to upgrade as we go, but things have def been tight.

It was actually a good deal bought it for 15k last year with 165k sold it for 21k with 200k on it!!! Drove it hard cross country twice. It was a come up. Once in a lifetime event. Prices of tundras went up alot since covid. Its weird and they just sell for real expensive a rich grower bought it he didn't even run the vin him and his bro ran like 20, 100 foot GHs they were loaded and really drunk. Lol

Rooms humming theres a few plants that are starting to get more light green like lime green with some yellowing leaves. Majority everything dark green. Upped my feeding to 800 ppms 50/50 flower veg mix. Im stumped all plants are in same soil mix fed the same. I did notice they were the specific plants that seemed bigger larger stocks more bushy also have the biggest flower formations on them. Ilm send some pics of those specific plants. I thought maybe they were just extra hungry but there's other plants the same size that are beautiful green lucky theres 16 plants per light. I wanted this to go flawless first run of my first indoor. Next run I'm going to do something easier shorter 8 to 9 weeks. Just ordered sour banana sherbert. It'll take a while to veg it and find a pheno and get a production run outta it but about to turn my spare room into a veg room with T5 lights. Next run most likely Grape Cream Cake. My buddy has 2 killer phenos. In the mean time here's some lights off pictures. Please any feed back appreciated.20201205_145301.jpg20201205_145526.jpg20201205_145555.jpg

If some plants fade earlier if I still feed will they produce? I'm thinking no mites but I seen some fliers im thinking maybe root aphids. Hoping not I popped some plants that were loose out and root balls had no aphids. Fliers could be fungus gnats im getting some gnatrol to water in I still have 6 weeks so maybe I can turn those ones with a bit of parents and yellow around they have such large flowers too, like most of the back section of room with 9 foot ceilings. They may just finish faster. Next run im building beds instead with a liner. Beds will be 8 inches high or 10. That way I can keep plants even lower from light plus beds hold more water and i can set up drip emitter tubing so no run off.

Update, 5 weeks left to go!! Going to strip a major amount of fan leaves. Get the plants pretty bare as lowers and middles are big due to light penetration. So far so good for my first run. Just going to keep feeding and spraying. Probably 1 or 2 more preventative sprays. C02 temps and humidity stable. Hate shop vacuuming up water. Next run I have 200 Grape Cream Cake secured . Going to put in beds with soil warming cables. Also got a pack of sour banana sherbert from Crockett family farms on order ill be pheno hunting aswell. The beds will allow me more height for plants as the 5 gallon buckets are pretty tall. I had a little issue with root aphids but acted swiftly and reduced population quickly 5 weeks left for them to finish strong really hoping for atleast 20-25 pounds my first run but one thing I know Is that the qaulity will be astounding I have grown gorilla glue and lots of og and cookies cut nothing gets as frosty as this GMO. Its not the same frost type as say purple punch, this puts out globs of resin thick globs. Where say purple punch is super frosty but more of a dusting. Please guys any comments questions let me know. I have been working endlessly at this room. Also I'm thinking of running the bluemat drips on my beds next run. Anyone use these before? They are self watering gravity fed and apparently invert the roots to grow upwards aswell. They work on the biometric pressure in the soil and add the perfect amount of water.

Looking good considering you had root aphids. Those bastards are hard to get rid of in flower... you must have caught them early on. What did you do to knock them back?

GMO is a 12 week strain isn't it? I know the cut going around my area is 12 weeks. If those plants in the photo are only at week 5 your selling yourself short shooting for 20-25lbs. If the rest of the run goes smooth that canopy is shaping up to be 2.5# per light. That canopy is filled in nicely and all tops. You're gonna hit 30+... calling it now lol.

No I have 5 weeks to chop. Still everyone says that I know gmo dosnt do shit untill week 9-11 that's when it really swells. Yeah im real familiar with RA been commercial growing for awhile. So early detection and I have a few tricks up my sleeves. Light off photos always make buds look bigger then in reality but still I think im doing really well for my first run of first indoor ever attempted. So yes 5 weeks to go on a 12 weeker gonna strip tons of leaves. Really let light in and keep air flow up.

Sure like to know the tricks for root aphids, that way I'll have a plan and supplies if I ever get em. Lol

I think your doing great, especially considering all the issues you have had to deal with. Are you still spraying for pm? If so what are you using, I caught some early in veg and got rid of it, but I have a suspicion it might pop back up during flower.

Finally finished my second flower room, just gotta finish cleaning and load it up now.

So random the very back row against the right wall all the way at the very end was a plant that was hiding it was half the size of all the gmos and the rest of canopy so I never really saw it but I noticed it was completely super purple and finished and diff structure then I smelled it and I was like holy shit thats purple punch! I must of accidentally gotten 1 PP plant by mistake in my order nd it ended up all the way back far corner 20201222_210845.jpg

Hate to say it i didnt read the whole deal but looks like you you got PM big time?
I been spraying for it, with nuke em, it pops up then goes away that photo was pre spraying. When I started to see spots here and there then more deleafing and sprayed with my grow king sprayer. Essentially I spray twice a week for PM and bugs the nuke em is just citric acid and food grade it washes the pm off and also creates and acidification that kills the PM. I have been commercial farming for 7 years tons of deps you get spots of PM when growing huge canopy of buds that's why I spray.
