Master Kush and Gravedigger under 4kw. 10'x10' flower room.

So, I've got 15 Master Kush clones in the system under 2kw of light right now, along with 5 Gravedigger (herijuana x Romulan) seedlings and the Master Kush mom. And there's a tiny little Northern Lights seedling in there too, that's holding on for dear life. Lol
The room before I hung the lights and added the clones. 
A few shots of the light framework and how it was hung... 

Here's all the girls under 2kw lights... 
And here's a funky pic! The roots on a couple of the clones were growing above the rockwool! Lol
So, the plan for now is to add a co2 system, and 2 more lights above the plants for a total of 4kw. Eventually I'll get more lights, but the current improvements cost too much for us to be able to afford an extra 2 light systems (says my wife! I say it'll be worth the $550! Lol). Its all good, since I don't think i'd be able to efficiently handle that much heat without buying Ice Boxes at the same time. I plan on getting a couple of those though... I still have plans for using my DIY chiller in the future, and it would be PERFECT for some Ice Boxes! I'll DEFINITELY need em once I've got the 9000 watts of lights in there that I'm planning on having in there eventually.
I'm hella happy with how this room is looking. I had been getting a bit frustrated with things seeming like they weren't progressing... the last two harvests I didn't get to make ANY improvements other than a couple little things here and there. I HAD been up to having 6000 watts of lights, and when two of the ballasts went out I didn't get to replace them... I just wish I could afford to get a Co2 monitor to make sure we're not using too much or too little Co2. Next harvest will be a little small, just enough to pay bills. For a month or two, and then the one after that will be another good-sized haul like the last one was (2 pounds, 14 ounces). I'm hoping with that harvest, I'll be able to get 2 more hoods and then 6 IceBoxes to keep things nice and cool in there... I'll have to make sure I can pull a good sized harvest, cause it'll probably be about $1500 or so for JUST that upgrade, not to mention getting a Co2 monitor/controller too... I might just get 3 ice-boxes, and get the rest later though... I know that would save a bundle.
Eh, enough of my stoned rambling... We'll see how this turns out, huh?

So, after almost a year of growing, spider mites finally found a chink in my armor, and I found them on my mother last night!! I waited till lights-off this afternoon, and DRENCHED the entire room in Spinosad! Lol.
  
My poor baby looks so bad underneath! I'm so mad at myself that I didn't catch them sooner!
In other news, I topped all the clones last night. We were going to take clones off the mom, but I think we had best wait on that until these mites are gone...

So, the pictures I have aren't as new as I thought they were... Lol. I'll have to take some new ones tomorrow...
Here's what I've got on the camera right now...
Four of the Gravedigger girls pushing up through the screen:

Here's a close-up of one of the two larger girls. We took clones from her last night:

Here's the Master Kush mom:

Here's the tiny little Northern Lights seedling:

It's time for PICTURES!!!!
I've got everything set up pretty much the way it's gonna be for the entire run... The big girls are all under three hoods. One of the damn ballasts is going out, so I'm gonna have to replace it here soon. It's just not firing the light nearly as bright as it should be...
Here's a few group shots of the girls in the flower room. I've been pretty much letting the Gravediggers stretch up above the screen to try and catch up with how tall the mom is...
    
And here's what's in the veg room. Not very impressive, honestly... Only one of them is really doing very well, and there's one that's trying REALLY hard to catch up! lol. Then of course we have the Northern Lights seedling in the picture on the end. I think I didn't allow her, or the other clones that are struggling, enough time with the top-feed to establish roots before starting them on the flo-n-gro system... live and learn. keep fucking kicking myself for these damn stupid mistakes I'm making.
  
And last but not least, we have some root porn of the little babies... I've been right on top of these for the past week. I gotta make these girls go the distance this time. The Master Kush clones gotta make the next cycle in the flower room, and the Gravediggers gotta be saved for the end of this next cycle to determine the keeper pheno. I've got them all labeled as to which plant is which in the flower room, and which clone came from which plant. I'm going to make sure I keep on top of the labeling, so things don't get mixed up and forgotten by the end of this flowering cycle.

Time for more pictures! lol. It's only been 3 days, but there's been some impressive stretch from the gravediggers in the flower room. Between them stretching hella and the ballast for the light that's above the mom going out 2 days ago, they've almost caught up with the Master Kush mom's top branches!
Tomorrow, I'll be swinging through a wholesaler and picking up another ballast or two for $110 each...
Here's a couple shots of the flower room:
 
And then there's the veg room. The two Master Kush plants that are somewhat sizeable are really starting to explode with growth. The others are coming along, but they were shocked pretty badly, so I'm not suprised that they're limping along a little bit...
 The Northern Lights seedling is coming along nicely. I'm hoping that she'll be ready to take a whole load clones from by the end of next month...

And here you can see some of the intensive LST work that went into tying this girl down...

And the tray of clones looks awesome as ever! Checked last night, and I have a 100% success rate with the Master Kush clones!! And there are at least one of each of the different Gravediggers that have roots. Some there are two out of the three that have roots, but I'm sure we'll get at least a 66% success rate out of those girls...
