Here ya go guys. Got some pictures taken and uploaded. Here ya guys go!
Here's the door. Snapped one of the door being replaced and one of it as it sits now. I still need to put 2x4's all the way around the frame, but that can wait for the time being.
Here's the front, a few days ago before I got the last panel up.
As you step in the door, the veg room is right there. You can see the wall of b\w poly I installed on the left, and the 8" fresh air intake that will be going through it on the top right.
Here you can see the 6" exhaust fan above the door, along with my medical patient paperwork next to it. There will be a tube going from there to the flower room to exhaust the hot air from that room (it'll need it the most, since it'll be starting with 4,000 watts).
Here's a better shot of the 8" cool air intake. I've just got it hanging down above the plants right now. Once we get the flower room fired up, it'll get slid through the panda film to cool that room.
Here's the flower room. I've actually got a real door separating the two. I had an extra one laying around, and it happened to fit just right! I still need to put up a second side of panda film, but that'll happen sooner or later. lol. Our partner has a bunch of scraps and spare pieces, so it'll get put up soon.
Here's the last pic for the night. Got a shot of my ghetto-fabulous shelves to hold the carbon filter and the ballasts. I wanted to keep them off the ground so I had as much floor space for plants as possible. Plus I'd rather not have cords on the floor where someone could possibly trip on them and damage plants or equipment with a fall.
So that's it guys! I'm super stoked for this grow. I've been working towards this exact thing for years now! We're gonna run soil for the first harvest or two (our partner has several girls that are ready to flower immediately), and then phase it out, replacing it with our hydro system. In the next couple of days, we'll be cutting some clones to start our first hydro run. I'll start a grow log to track the progress once we get the 4kw room lit up and running.
Hey guys! Time for an update... sorry its been so long. This weekend has been so busy. Saturday morning my wife's water broke, and so I've been sitting in the hospital since. Labor's going really long. We're at about 50 hours now, and things are looging fine. No signs of infection, no stress on the baby ye. She's just taking FOREVER to get completely effaced and dialated.
So, here's some pictures of our other girls!
This is the tray of clones we cut last week on Tuesday. I'm REALLY hoping they'll be okay, because I haven't been able to really check em for 2 days now. These girls are all Tragic Winter clones.
And here's a few shots of the other 4 girls in the flower room. Man, I just hope I can get home before they start wilting. I've got my dad at home turning the lights on and off, but he's just too old a fogie to mix up nutes for me and get thigs watered.
So, that's what I've got guys. Its kind of a small update, but I've been pretty busy with everything else the past couple days. Haha!!
Quote: Harry_Ba11sach said: Wait, do you not have fresh air intake already? What's the CFM rating for your fan and how many feet of ducting is it pulling through?
I've had passive intake the whole time, its not 100% sealed up around the edges, so fresh air would come in under the walls from outside. But, when I lit up the 1k in the veg room (I had the 4' T-8 light in there before), it just made the whole place too hot.
I've got a 6" inline fan with a 425 CFM rating blowing hot air out. I don't have it hooked up to the carbon scrubber yet because the smell is still pretty faint. I also added a 125 CFM inline booster fan that's attached to one of the hoods, to pull fresh air in from the intake hole.
Its pretty ghetto at the moment, but last night the temps didn't get above 81. As for the length of tubing, there's 8' across the veg room, 9' from the barrier to the end of the last hood. 3.5' between the two rows, and another 7' from the end of the row to the front where the last hood vents into the room. So I would call it 28' of tubing, total, with 3 ~25° curves, and 2 90° curves.
I'll add some pictures soon...
And here's the pics!
On the end of the far hood you can see the booster fan attached to the hood.
Here's a shot of the veg room with the tube going across it.
This is my little 1'x3' flood table SOG. They're doing pretty well, considering everything they went through...
And this is just a random shot of the girls in flower.
So... going through the girls tonight, I found some nanners on the Tragic Winter girl... out she came and into the closet for 2 days of light depravation.
Then I called my partner to let him know that the girl's comin' out early, and guess what he said?? "OH, go ahead and leave her in there! She won't give the other girls seeds!"
So, things are going well, I suppose. I'm pulling the first of the 4 large girls and trimming her now... its a bit early still, but she's gotta pay rent on the 1st, so she's gotta come out and get chopped up...
I'm a bit undecided as to whether or not I'm going to build the third room in there now though. After installing just the single 5000 BTU AC unit, it's dropped temps in there considerably... Like right now, its sunny and warm out, and the lights have been off for 2 and a half hours... its 71 degrees in the flower room, and it'll probably get a bit warmer as the day goes on...
I know I need to put the 12,000 btu unit in there, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do so... As soon as I get this girl stripped naked, I'll throw together a diagram of how the place is laid out, and see what people think I should do...
For now, here's a few pics... I threw together some scrog's for the girls in veg, I just gotta string them.
The 6 girls that were in 2.5 gallon pots got transplanted into 5 gallon pots. Give em a few days to recover, and they're going into the flower room to replace the girls that are coming out.
Here's the Maui that's getting stripped today. We started on her last night, but didn't get too far. My goal is to finish her by 4:20...

great work man !
Thanks man! I'm really pretty damn proud of how far we've come in the past year. 12 months ago I had a single 1kw light and a 4x4 tent (that I never even got to flower in! Lol). Now, I've got a 4kw flower room, and I'm working on getting some T-5's for the veg room (I don't want to have to keep running the AC unit). Right now, there's only a 95 watt CFL over the single Master Kush girl in there. Lol.
I've got some pics, finally. Lol. They're hella old, honestly. I took em on the 1st, and then completely forgot to post em. Haha. I'll try and get more recent pics tonight so you can see the difference.
Here's the near side of the room, as seen from the door.
And here's the other half of the room, from the same angle.
I totally forgot to get a pic of the very ghetto setup I have for the veg room. Because there's only a single plant in there, I got creative with making sure it got watered right. I set it up to top-feed, and it just drains down into the bucket below it. I have a bucket at the bottom with 4 gallons of nute water with a pumps in it, pumping it to the bucket on the top. I've got the drain "T" pointed down into the bucket below to drain it back into the make-shift rez. Hella ghetto-rigged, but if it works, it works, ya know? Lol
Its time for new pictures!! Got some good ones just as the lights came on tonight. They're actually fresh pics, not taken a week ago like last time! Lol
Here's a few shots of the whole flower room, and a pair of shots of the single Master Kush girl in veg...
Made some BHO yesterday out of the trim from the Maui. It came out pretty damn nice. Got .8 out of about 25 grams of crap leaves and larfy buds...
Also wanted to share my little aquaponics adventure. I'm hoping I'll be able to grow a decent amount of lettuce peas, and a few other leafy greens... I've got the top of the little 1x3 flood table set on top of a 55 gallon drum with 10 little feeder goldfish to get the proper bacteria cycled into the aquaculture. Once I get a master water test kit, I'll be able to tell what the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrile levels are. Once they're stable, I'll be able to replace the feeder fish with some Tilapia.
Oh man, am I a happy grower right now! I know. There's plent of room for improvement still, but. God damn, I never thought I would have nearly 3 pounds of DANK that I had grown myself sitting in front of me!
The final weigh is in, and I came out with some impressive numbers (for my experience level, at least!). The smallest plant came it at 84 grams. the next two were 98 grams each, then a 101, a 106 and a 108. I wish I had paid attention to which plant was positioned where, because the next few kinda blew me away. I had two that were both almost exactly 5 ounces, and then there were two that accidently got mixed together while trimming, so the two of them came out at 249.5, and then one huge honker. Came out at just under 5.5 o's, at 152.5 grams!!!
So all in all, came out with 1275 grams of usable/donatable meds, about 15-20 grams or floor nugs (if it. Falls on the floor, it doesn't go to a patient), and 10 ounces of amazing trim!
I processed most of the trim into BHO the other day, and it came out AWESOME!! got 16 grams from the 8.5 ounces I used. I thought I ran out of butane, but I've still got 2 more cans, so I'll probably do the rest here soon...
Here's all the girls stripped naked and hung upsidedown to dry...
I'll have a few more pics when its not late as fuck and my wife isn't dragging me to bed! Lol.
BTW, am I the only one who hasn't been able to log on the past week?? I have had the hardest time ever trying to access the site...
