One point 21 gigawatt grow setup. ( back to the future reference)

How would you like me to do it, I can supercrop, but I am going to flower as sopn as the equipment arrives.
My idea for flowering the moms is as follows. I have a 5x 15 ft net and 15 moms. Right now as moms, I have them in 3 rows of 5 buckets. ( double bucket, bottom bucket has one fill and drain hole, the top bucket has lots of little holes.) I think the best bet is to put them in two lines of 7. I will have to transplant them, to larger buckets but I will transplant them leaning over. At the beginning of the net i will train the sideways plants in the way that one plant will be over the top of the buckets from the next row. I don’t know if that made any sense? Tomorrow i will reread and edit

While you’re waiting for gear to clear customs was what I was thinking. The plan to push them over sounds solid. They look like they’re going to stretch for sure and I was thing a super crop a second time might also open up a few bud sites, but with transplanting at an angle it sounds like that is the same idea and would work as well. As far as second supercropping. I assume it would be significant stress and might prolong the veg stage slightly longer than one would like?

Then again maybe an extra week or so in your case might be beneficial for those extra tops to put on weight? For that I have to put more thought into it though. No logic really.

Getting close to lift off @Viva_Mexico

Nice bundle of equipment there :wink:

What do you do for lengthening the wires to go to the adjusta wings from the ballasts.

Here they come with a 3 prong kettle type plug connection, i find they get very warm and can also come loose causing shorts, I have taped them together with insulation tape and plastic tie wraps before today.

I was asking because when I run more than 4 meters of cable I usually require an extra capacitor behind the bulb to help fire them up on ignition from the timer contactor ??

Nice set up cant wait to see it in full swing. your gonna need an overgrow holiday visit from us all to help trim that lot pmsl :laughing:

I know!!! If I can get some hydroton today, I will transplant the moms and put them in the new room. I want to flip in the next 3 or 4 days.

Thanks!! It feels like Christmas.

Today I will take pictures of the ballasts. They are the newest style available, they have a telephone type wire that plugs into each ballast. I ordered them with 15ft cable from the ballast to plug and 15ft from ballast to wing. All ballasts will be wired directly to the electricity and controlled with a programmable lighting controller for up to 50 ballasts.

hahahahah I can’t wait!!!

Here are a few pictures of the room.

I will have two pathways in the room.
It will be 10 lights, path, 10 lights path, 10lights. I hung 15 ballast above each path. I estimate yesterday that I went up and down the ladder at least 150times. Where is @Uncle_Al when I need a hand wiring. These are random pictures from random time of the day. I still have a lot to do. A lot of cables need to sill be arranged. I don’t care for the look of the ballasts because of the unevenness but after this cycle I have to everything down, we are do drywall the ceiling. So, be warned!!

If i find a good cut of Scott’s OG i am making a trip to Mexico. You are probably right, the sugary, lemony, cut that i like is one in a million but it was an eye opener for me and my friends. Another golden ticket strain probably. :grin:
