Rocmans Garden

Dude, you are downright, absolutely killing it! I've only been on the site a month or so but I can say without ANY doubt our garden styles are almost identical, minus the SCROG, I rock the SOG (as I hate being locked down, I stake mine)

That doesn't matter. What does is that you're knocking it out of the park Buddy, I don't even know you and I'm proud of you!!!

You're doing it how I do it, except I'm coming up crazy short of my goals right now. I know Rome wasn't built in a day but seeing your lush canopy of trich laden colas makes me feel like I'm wasting electricity, time and effort with my current garden.

Don't get me wrong, my new space is great, I've made some changes, mostly with new types of lighting but overall the room is built to bang. Its got all the prerequisites covered to be a real producer for its size, dedicated AC and dehumidification, sealed, gas. 36 under two 600w sodiums it'd be a 3 unit room all day. Now I'm working with HLG LED's and a Hortilux 315 CMH.

I'm on the struggle bus trying to find the right strains right now, till I do I'm stuck wasting space and wattage dreaming of canopies like yours.

Keep up the FANTASTIC work Roc, it is recognized. What a thumb. Respect.?

Hey bro I appreciate that alot. It's funny your literally going down the same path as me. I started hps,, then went ceramic ..then hlg..now i build my own strips. One piece of advice I can say is less Is more . I was killing the plants with kindness. I started dropping the ppm and dropping the par and noticed my plants were doing better than before. It sounds like your actually further ahead than me with the co2 and mini splits. This run was just leds, coco , and a dehu. Once you find the right genetics your going to meet those goals you have in your head. I'm not quite there yet either . That's what keeps this hobby fun is the constant growth and new techniques. Are you using co2 burners? I'll pop over and check out your posts ! Thanks again for the kind words makes me feel like I'm doing something right .

Oh you're definitely doing something right man, trust me on that one. Yeah I bought a couple 300L Rspecs although I'm only burning one atm, as well as one of Hortilux's cadillac version of the CMH. I had to try one because of all the hype surrounding the benefits of UV in the spectrum. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking of switching back to sodiums. Both LED and CMH seem to lack penetration in my opinion. Especially for canopies deeper than 12 inches.

My last place was dialed TF in but my new one has been a huge disappointment. That sucks because aside from the new lights, it's the most legit room I've ever built. You asked about Co2, I don't burn LP, I run 20lb tanks. I decided to stay with tanks because I'm in a warmer climate and didn't want my AC to fight heat produced by a burner. I will say this about burners, while I didn't go that route, I'd sure love the luxury of buying LP at the hardware store as opposed to driving an hour to my hydro shop that still exchanges tanks for $20. Companies like Airgas and Praxair are charging nearly $50 a tank around here. That's highway robbery. I love capitalism but I can't stand greed. Supply and demand I guess. Just won't be me buying it.

You're right though, for me its all about finding the right couple strains. When I moved I chickened out and tossed all 4 of my legacy keeper moms out the cab of the moving truck before I even got out of state. I couldn't chance some rogue LE agency seizing my life's possessions over a few plants. Ugh. It was a gut wrenching feeling watching the soil scatter behind the truck from the side view mirror. I think I'm gonna go cut my wrists now...lol.

Back to sowing seeds I guess because nothing I got going on now is working out... Per the description, Mikado was supposed to be a ringer, but it's not. My last hope for this grow is the Lifesaver. It was rushed this time around but you can see it has the structure Im after. Will it have the stone? Time will tell.

I'm nearly desperate enough to suck a dick for a legit cut...lol. NO, that's a joke. I ain't suckin' no dicks.

I got @Frimpong Blackberry Bread coming up along with BlueStar's InstaBlue on deck.

I read a few pages back you said you're probably too hard on yourself. I can relate to that. I don't care what anyone says. its good to aspire to something better.

Keep aspiring.

Dude honestly I only had 2 or 3 1000 watt hps runs under my belt . Those were also my biggest yields in a 4x4. Your not liking about penetration. They only thing is the power costs are outrageous and heat is a killer. I think if we can get the leda dialed in right with the co2 we should be close to hps numbers. Another thing to keep in mind is these "hype strains "aren't yeilders for the most part unfortunately.

I just switched and even though they don't look as big, my total weights or a touch bigger under LED. Surprisingly. And u ain't kidding , it's hard to get yeilders from all these new boutique strains.
