I've thought about that but a couple or the strains I know I'm going to be keeping. 1 is a high cbd strain and the other is one of my favorites, So it makes sense to keep mom's for them
The other 2 I am going to switching every once and while because they will be getting more of a variety as time goes on
The only strains I kept as mothers were the white and tahoe og. When I got them (tahoe og I actually got several times before I had the real clone only strain) I was aware of the "holy grail" status, so I kept mothers, but with everything else, I just cloned to clone. So over quite a few years I was essentially clone to clone only.

so after not really sleeping being up all night thinking lol
I've decided to stick with the original plan but i'm going to remove the 1 led on the side of the moms
one last question for lights
i've read of people attaching t5's to the corner posts of the flower tent, do you think this is necessary or would help. It would cost me about 60bux to take the one led out and have 4 t5's put into the flower tent

:)

love tahoe og, another og i really like is SFV OG

I already know i love sensi star and its their highest rated for thc content so i'll be keeping that around and they only have 2 really high cbd so i'm going to try both of them out on the 1st grow and see which i prefer and which grows better in this condition

for cloning from clones, do you wait the full 8 weeks of veg before taking the clone?
everybody has been telling me i have to wait 8-9 weeks before cloning
i was going to order 10 clones to start
3 sensi (1 will be left to become mom)
1 of the sativa cbd (1 kept as mom) (40/60 hybrid)
1 indica cbd (1 kept as mom) (then i'll decide which cbd i prefer and grow the mom of the other out)
2 ice cream (if good then 1 will become mom)
2 spotneik #1 (if good then 1 will become mom)

i do have room for 1 more if i want but haven't decided if i want to go wappa, white widow or throw a sativa in but i kind of want to stay away from sativas while i'm still getting a rthym down

Edit: changed the numbers

Also forgot that with thcbiomed, once you order clones you get put on their vip program and while waiting for your grow you can order weed from them at 4.20 a gram of which ever strains you have ordered

So I'll actually be able to try both cbd before they are done veg and only have to keep 1 of the mom's around

Which ever of the ice cream of spotenik I prefer I can do clone from clone I guess

Oh and about the ro water
My wife told me today that the water for our water cooler is done with a full ro system and she is going to get me a pump to put on the top of one of the jugs and I can use that for now :)

Ok so im going to call in about an hour
This is what I have so far for questions and changes

- take one of the led t5 replacements away
- want to upgrade the reflector for 1000w to the magnum xxxxL
- Is the flower tent 6'1 or 6'6 Because it is listed as both in the book?
- does the ph tster also test for ppm and ec?
- should the cfl also have a larger reflector?

Anything else you think of please let me know asap

1 LED gone
He said the magnum will fit but it will be right and it's going to add about 230bux to the order
He said to come in and he will show me some that are a little smaller than the magnum but larger than the current one
Tester is a food tester or something he said, yes it does ppm, ec, ph and some other stuff)
I'm going to ask about the height and cfl reflector when I go in tonight

Sounds like it's coming together well. Is it possible the listed tent height could be over all height and grow height? (Overall height minus the hood size). Glad to hear you got an all in one meter. Ive spent a lot of money on those things and have a tendency of misplacing, or leaving at one spot when I need them at another. I'm not sure about CFL's, I've always used T5's or MH. It's good you got someone in a store helping you. When I started hydro shops were still selling products for 'hydro vegetables' lol. Asking for weed help was not going to happen. That probaby contributed to my learning curve.

Just remember that it is never going to go as you planned. Just when you think you got everything dialed in, you'll realize you dont and want to make improvements. It's part of the process, always trying to do better.

I work across the street.we do business sometimes

That would get expensive as hell for me. I'd be in there every day trying all the new fresh Live Resin's. I'm in a dry County. 1 trash dispensary and delivery are my only options. I spend 6 days a week in Modesto so I'm always not far from my favorite spot.

Ya, I'm looking forward to the learning process and having to use my brain again lol

He showed me some mh setups for veg but it was going to add another 300bux and he said honestly with the space it won't make too much of a difference, just might have to add a couple t5s if I notice the bottoms losing light at all
We kept the same reflector for the cfl
Added the magum xxxl, it was onsale for 250 and the one I was getting was 100, so 150 to add that but I'm saving 80 by taking the 1 t5 LED away
The flower tent is 6'6, We measured it today
The 6'6 is what's available inside the tent and then he said I put the fan on top
The magnum hangs down about 18" so I'm looking 5 feet of grow room I think
Made sure about the yo yo (got a bag of 12)
And made sure it had the pully system where you just pull to where you want and let go

It's coming together nicely and he said everything should work out to around the same price with the changes

MH would just create another heat problem. You have 5' of vertical grow room. How long will you veg for? Are you using SCROG technique? What medium/ containers will you be using? Your going to need some space in between that 1000w and your tops. SCROG is what worked best for me with limited SQ feet and a short ceiling. Yo Yo's are great but do be careful, they do strip out. I dropped a big ass 8" sealed hood on some plants once lol.

Edit. Dude im getting excited for you. Lol

I think you said your using a digital ballast. Can the wattage output be changed if you dicided to go 600w HPS?

I was planning on veg for 4-5 weeks including a little time under t5s for the clones
I was going to just do 8 weeks but they will get way too tall so I'm going to do 4 weeks in veg then 8-12 in flower

Doing it that way I'll just add 4 plants to the veg tent every 4 weeks or so and the timing should work out I think

If I'm off on anything please let me know

I'll take a look at a scrog system, it looks like a pain but gotta do what I gotta do

Oh and the magnum is the 8" one

Growing with soil, we are going through picking that out when I pick everything up
Starting with the Rockwell, transplant to a small container (can't remember size), transplant to 1L for 2nd half of veg, transplant to 3 or 5l for all of flower
That was the plan

It's seriously like Christmas when I was a kid
I haven't taken the smile off my face since I finally got the ok to start ordering stuff

Oh and for veg I basically want to move them at 16"-20"

Yep it has 8 different settings down to 250 up to 1000
One of the settings is 450 and another is 600, another was 800 I believe

how long had you vegged for though
i'm thinking i'm only going to keep the 2 moms and do the clone from clone for a couple others, or at least give it a try
changing to a 3 stage cycle instead of 4 should allow me to keep the 2 moms in the same section as the the other veg plants and then we can grow some other veggies in the section that was going to be for moms
i might go with 3l flowering pots and do 12 in flower (6 and 6) and do 6 in the veg and i'd still have room for 2 nice size moms

I didn't have height restrictions, so I don't think my cloning schedule would work for you. I cloned the day before flipping lights, then would veg those for my 70-80 day cycle. Once the mature plants were taken down, I repotted into 5 gallon containers and would veg under hps for another week, then clone and flip the lights. I limited height on my clones by having the t5 as close as I could get it to the clones without them burning, which was just a few inches. This allowed the clones to get strong and fill out without getting too tall. By the time I was repot ting them they would be 18"-2", plus the height of the pots

ya i was more trying to get an idea for the age of the plants before taking clones and you're right at 10-11 weeks which is what they told me is the perfect time, they also told me i don't want to keep the mom too long either but would i still be able to flower the mom once i'm done taking clones from it after 4 or 5 cycles?
for the clones i can lower the 2 t5s they will be lit by, so i'll keep the tip in mind. Debating doing 24hr on for cloning week in cloning chamber
