Hi Thank you in advance for taking your time to read my question.
I have been growing for a 5 months now and have successfully harvested 2 crops, first crop of 7 oz/in 4 Months then second crop of 4oz/in 6 weeks(new Strand) and my latest crop has been in for 3 1/2 weeks and will be ready in about a week(should be big, i added co2 and an additional light and 2 addition plants 4.). I am using a 400 watt HPS and just introduced a 250MH. I am growing a Skunk 1# and Haze cross it as been deemed redpeg because of its red hairs.

I have been contimplating converting to ScrOG but in a very large scale. I Have an area 6' long 3' wide and 4 1/2' high. I want to make a large gaulet style frame that will look somewhat like this \_/ going for the length of the room with six plants each in 12" diamitar pots. The frame will be thin enough to work on the plants from the sides. I will mount a 6 foot light mover that will move both lamps along the 6 foot gauntlet. I will make the gaulet out of metal it will be constructed in 6 frames one for each plant that will all line up, i will train the plants all the way to each edge. And enduce budding when i am satisfied the mesh will be completely coveredby the end of budding(this strain trpples in size durring budding phase) I have thought about it alot and i think i can make it work. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Am i just crazy or will this work? Any help for a poor sucker in Australia?

don't make the sides too steep, or you will get unwanted shading over the lower portion of the plant. imo, i would make the 6x3 area into 2 grow areas, 3x3. use the 250w mh to veg them and rotate in the 400w hps to flower them. why grow once, when you can grow constantly!? you could have 4 plants veg'n, and 4 plants flower'n. this way you elimate the light mover, allowing that 400hps to kick some a$$ on a 3x3 area, instead of having to move back and forth over a larger area. and that 250mh is just great for vege'n!
congrats on your previous grows! i sure your idea will work none the less, best of luck.

I was planning for the guanlet to be more like a long curved trough.
But perhaps i should do perpetual. I wouldnt need to segrigate the rooms because this plant grows and grows and grows after 12/12is induced. I usually turn it down to 11/13 to speed the **** up. I usually (none scrog) would turn it to 12/12 at 1 Foot it would then grow to about 4 or 5 feet of nice buds. SO i can clone the plants in my cloning room for 3 weeks then put them into "the bud room" under my 250W MH. These will grow for three more weeks at which point i will be training them to there screens. I will then move the 250 onto more cuttings. And place my 400 over the budders. Alowing them to finish for three more weeks. Thus the perpetual cycle.
Thanks for the thoughts lap_rat_x its another idea to throw into the works. I have so many choices.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
