 New home, new 10'x24' grow room. 4kw Flower, 1kw veg

Hey guys!! After a few months in absence, I'm back with a huge new project to take on! Since I left, I've gotten a full round of girls flowered. My wife and I were VERY happy with the results, but we're sure there's room for improvement. We got a .3 GpW ratio. A little over 2 pounds from 3000 watts of HPS. Definitely a good start for us, but I want to be pulling at least twice that from our second harvest. I'll be starting with 2000 watts, and then increasing to 4000 (maybe more if we can come up with the extra lights).
The room we've got to work with is a carport attached to the end of our double wide mobile home. I framed in the open end and boarded it up. Had to add a soffit to one side of the building to lock in the light leaks. I'm gonna leave the ceiling open, mainly because framing that in would be an additional 10 sheets of plywood, and I'm already gonna have to buy a few more to finish the walls (I had 18 sheets of 1/2 inch already, so I just need 3 or 4 more). There's also the fact that a few of the rafters, while still structuraly sound, they're too rotted to drill anything into them. I'll just use the makeshift "A"-frame and 10' 4x4 beam I already have.
I'm going to seperate it into 2 different rooms. An 8'x10' section for the veg room, and twice that (16'x10') for the flower room. I'm ALMOST done with the remodel now. I still have to replace the crappy holey door with a heavy security door. Then its on to finishing sealing up all the little light leaks. I've already used 2 cans of expanding foam sealant, and I'm hoping it'll only take one more can. I used a panda film wall to separate the two rooms. I'll be using velcro to make two doors in the panda film. One door will be used on a daily basis, the other will only be used when its time to bring plants out to trim and dry.
Well, I think that's all the ramblings I have for now. I'll have some pics to post soon. Really very excited about this!!! I'm hoping to get things into flower in the next 9 days...

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.

thanks man! I've got 160. Sq feet in the flower room I can work with! To start with, we're gonna have Maui, Tragic winter (a cross between purple trainwreck and white frost), Afgooey and then Master Kush.

Well, we have a maximum of 45 plants we can have, but I doubt we'll have that many. Right now, we've got a large Maui in a 5 gallon pot, a Tragic Winter in a 2.5 gallon pot, and 10 Afgooeys in small 6" square. Pots in a 1'x3' flood table we've got. These will all go into flower on Friday, along with a few more large afgooeys in 5 gallon pots our partner is gonna bring up tonight or tomorrow. Today we just cut 15 new clones off the Tragic Winter, and we're gonna pop a femmed Master Kush seed here in the next week for the next cycle.
So, we'll have 30 for now, half in veg and half in flower. And once we start to finish up the first round, we'll cut MK clones...

Yea, I agree. There's a lot about this guy's practices that I don't agree with, but honestly, I'm using him for the $$. 12 months, then we'll split ways, and it'll be all our profit instead of sharing it with him... But then, it is his very first strain he bred...

Yea, he should... But he's not really the most kharmically balanced person ever. He's always happy to find a new patient that doesn't know that the avarage price for an ounce of indoor in Seattle is around $175. He hates getting less than 250 an o... that just doesn't set well with me, you know?

Yeah, still just stuck in the old ways. I've had to adjust what I expect to get for price these days as well. I was used to selling it at 4 a #. It's hard to get 3 now. Average price is 28. People are happy to pay 200 for an O though down here in Portland.

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!!

Yea, I hope so too. When I left on Saturday, they were pretty well soaked still, so I'm hoping they'll be okay. My dad was at the house flipping the lights for me, and he was supposed to check on them this morning. I guess I'll find out when I get home if he remembered... lol

Yea, me too man. I'll be really frustrated if I come home to a second batch of fucked off clones. The whole reason we're flowering the afgooey clones we had is because when I got laid off about a month ago, I forgot to check on them for 4 days straight. They all got hella stunted and they still haven't recovered. Lol

So, I'm having problems with heat... we've got a total of 5kw now, 4 HPS in flower and 1 MH in veg going 24/7. The lights are on from 9pm to 9am, but its still getting too hot in there. Last night it was getting up into the high eighties and low nineties.
I'm gonna try running a tube of outside air through the veg room and into the flower room.unfortunately, the back wall of the veg room is the only place I feel comfortable putting holes in, since its facing the back of my property.

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.

Dude, you're rocking almost 2,000 cubic feet of growroom there. Two Thousand. a 425 CFM fan isn't going to cut it at ALL.

Yea, you're very right, Harry. My ventilation is woefully inadequate... But I just don't have a larger fan to use at the moment, and I'm broker than broke...
I'm going to appeal to our partner for more equipment, but that's like pulling teeth from a vampire, so I doubt it'll go anywhere... he'll probably give me a couple of floor fans or some oscillators that he's already got, but he probably won't fork out for a good fan...
On top of THAT, we're running out of three of our nutes, and that's gonna be another $45 each to replace those... Oh, and did I mention my dad broke his $80 bluelab temp/ph meter when he was watching the plants for me?
I'm hoping he'll have enough product to just do a bridge loan until harvest, and we pay him back 1.25x what he put out for it... IF he'll give us a qp, I'll give him 5 when we harvest out of my portion. That seems fair to me at least...

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!"
Really man?!?!?!

Gah, I'm so fucking pissed at my partner right now. I've been trimming this damn plant off and on all day, and I just keep getting more and more frustrated at it as I find seed after seed in her...
As soon as this cycle of his genetics are through my system, I'm never touching his plants again! I just put 2 of my Master Kush seeds into a wet paper towel, and we're gonna see how quick I can get a batch of clones off em...

So, I've decided I need to do some remodeling in the grow room to account for the need for air conditioning. My landlord won't let me permanently modify the existing structures (everything has been installed with screws so he can take it down), so I have to do a little bit of MacGuyvering to make things work...
My dad gave me two AC units so I'm going to get them installed right away to work on my heat problems...
I'm going to scoot my girls to the far end of the flower room and put up a wall to make the flower room a bit smaller, 10x10 instead of 10x16. Having a small room in between the veg room and the flower room will give me space to keep spare equipment, the chest freezer chiller and the rez's out of the way of the plants. I'll also be able to vent the larger of the two AC units into this space, and vent the heat from that room out the side (I can just remove the temporary board I put up as a wall, and that'll let things vent outside).
The second, smaller AC unit will go in the veg room. There's a window hole in the wall that I just covered up with plywood. I can simply cut out a hole, stick it in and seal it up. I'll have that done by the end of the day tomorrow. I'll try and remember to snap some before and after pics to post for ya...
I still have to get the condenser coil from my dad so I can make the DIY chiller. My aunt and uncle went to their shed to try and find it for me (it's a 4 hour drive and they were going that way anyways), but all they could find was a small coil of 3/8" copper tubing. No where near enough for my 50 gallon rez. It might work for the small 1'x3' flood table I have though, so I'm keeping it. That little thing only has a 5 gallon rez, so I figure it wouldn't be as tough to keep cool as a 50 gallon one...

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...

I did the same. Those portable units kick ass. I have a 9,000 and a 12,000. But I only use one right now.

Yea, I would like to have a portable, but I just don't have the extra $$ to drop on it. These two wall-bangers my dad gave me were free, and free's better than paying for it... lol. Besides, I don't have to worry too much about smell, since I'm on a 3 acre parcel here. I haven't ran my scrubber at all this run, and I haven't been able to smell anything outside of my back yard...
Well, the Maui is naked and hanging upside down in the closet. Now there's three more large ones and 6 girls in 6" square pots still to be trimmed. I'm almost done with the first of the 3 large Afgooey girls... their colas are SO fat, they're not able to keep themselves upright!

So, I've got all the girls trimmed and hanging except for 3 of the small SOG girls... I know, I've been procrastinating... it took me about 5 days to get all 4 of the big girls trimmed and hung up! Lol
I jarred up the Maui, and got 108 grams from her. And that's including all the little tiny larfy buds. I had to include those in the weight instead of throwing it in the hash box to make sure I've got enough to pay rent on the 1st...
Now, there's still 3 big Afgooey girls and 3 small ones hanging up. They've got a couple more days of drying to do... I want to get them jarred up to find out the final weight, but I've gotta make sure they get dried all the way...

Shit man that's a tough one. Why not fnd some space outdoors? Pull a few pounds outdoors and once you flip the herb you can tell the dude to do go his own thing.
I've had a grow partner before. It can be quite difficult when not everyone is on the same page.

I've had a grow partner before. It can be quite difficult when not everyone is on the same page.
If I had a fenced back yard, I might be able to convince the wifey to let me do it, but since its not, I get kids cutting through my back yard about once a week. I'd never be able to keep it protected unless I chained a pitbull back there 24/7... lol
I'm actually going to tell him to get bent the next time I talk to him. He's fucked me over by giving me crap that's way unstable and hermies out. Now, not only can I not sell the last 3 plants I've harvested (one more threw out nanners over the weekend), but I'm worried that everything in my grow room is gonna hermie out before its done flowering! I'm seeing a guy tomorrow about a few ready to flower plants and some clones I can run for the time being...
My Master kush girl is still WAY too small to contemplate cutting clones from any time soon. Only about 3" tall still. I've got 11 of the Tragic Winters in scrogs in the veg room, and they're gonna get moved into the flower room tomorrow. I just want to get all of these damn TW girls run through so I can get stable genes in the garden again... I figure at this point they will probably yeild about 3-5 ounces off each. I wanted to veg them for another week or two, but eh, such is life! Lol
So, the rest of the plants going into flower means that I'll have to build the wall for the middle room tonight. Hopefull I'll be able to get help with putting up the partition, and it won't take me forever and a day. Lol. It sucks, because I can't really start anything until 9pm when the lights turn on in the flower room.
Oh, there's a bit of good news though!! Finished the harvesting phase of the first 10 plants, and the final weight is in! I forgot to weigh the Afgooey girls seperately, so the total weight from the three big girls comes out to be a smidge over 10 ounces! Very happy with that result. Nice and fragrant, good taste so far. The Maui I'm not quite so happy with. She gave me 3.5 ounces of some pretty larfy, airy buds that really didn't taste all that great. I had problems with nutrient lockout through the entire flowering period, so I'm not. Suprised at the poor result from her. The 6 small SoG girls I had in the 1'x3' flood table performed admiraly. They gave me 116.5 grams between the 6 of them! I wasn't expecting more than a half ounce off of each of them, so I'm pretty satisfied with the result.

God damn, last night was a LOOONG night. I was in the flower room re-modeling until about 3 am this morning. We took the lights down, and put up the second wall to make a utiliity/nute mixing room in between the veg room and the flower room. So now I've got 10x8 for the veg room (and I'll have WAY more room in there as soon as I move the nute table into the middle room), a 6x10 utility room, and then a 10x10 flower room!
Now tonight I'll paint the room, and get everything light proof and everything...

Thanks... I needed a good harvest. Now I just gotta hope that I can make things stretch until the next one. That SHOULD have been just 3 weeks from now, but the bitches had to go and grow dicks on me... nasty little perverts! 
Now I've got 6 girls in 5 gallon soil buckets that'll get maybe 3 ounces each (fuckin' asshole partner never did ANY training on em) that have been in for a week, and there's 10 girls in the hydro system that will probably yeild 3-4 each. I'll be moving the system over to the flowering room as soon as I can get the room painted...

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

cool man !
just got my a/c unit hooked up a few weeks ago and she works pretty good !got 2x 5000btu units but i think the one unit should work fine for the flower and veg room ,temp are a little warm in the veg room but not to bad ,flowering room is dialed in nicly though ,probly going to get a Y to pipe some cool air to veg room in the near future .
the 4000k sounds like a nice size !i am going to hook up a 240volt braker unit so i can save a little power and add another 2x 600s ,one more for flower and another for veg ,debating on getting one of these wind terbines to ,or solar pannals,seems like they would pay for them selves in the first harvest $3500 for a 3500 watt turbine and seen some pannals for cheap as well!

That's what's up, man. I've got a 12k and a 5k, and I think I'm gonna have to put the 5k into the flower room once I put more light in there. The plan is to get 4-6k more light in the flower room, and them have about 2kw in the veg room (might get switched to T-5's, as they're cooler and I don't want to use more ac's). I'll definitely need some serious cooling in there, and I'm hoping just the two AC's will suffice. I don't want to have to buy more equipment if I can avoid it, you know? Lol.
That 3.5kw turbine sounds like a damn good deal! Once I get things paid up an extra month or so, I'll be able to convince the wifey to invest in some self-sufficency equipment... we live in the pass, and. It gets SO windy. I'm pretty sure if I got two or three, we would NEVER have to pay for electricity again. Do you have a link for those turbines? I'd like to look into those...

hear is an example of a unit ,its not the exact same same the one i mentioned but its an ball park idea of what there about http://http://www.saferwholesale.com/WG3KW-48V-Wind-Turbine-Wind-Energy-Generator-p/gud-wg3kwsimple.htm
i think these would be the cats ass if they were relieable ,but it would be a good idea to get a modle that has been tested with good reviews!

Finally, the recurring expense of paying $0.35 a gallon for RO water had caused my wife to cave in on a large expense! Spent $175 on a Hydrologic Stealth RO100, it'll be here between the 19th and 24th!
I think the fact that it's now a 30 mile round trip to get water instead of the 2 mile trip it was before we moved was a decent contributing factor (plus moving caused the price to go up from 31 cents a gallon to 35/gal.).
I'm gonna try to remember to be out in the grow room right when the lights turn on tomorrow so I can get pics without lines through them. Haha. It's looking GORGEOUS out there! And my one little Master Kush girl is getting so big!

I just decided to pull all the soil girls out of the grow room. They're all seeded somehow, and at least 3 of them threw off nanners. I'm hoping I can keep the hydro girls from doing the same thing. Ordered 6 cans of quintuple refined Vector, and we'll make some BHO out of these bitches...
Also cut a dozen clones off the master Kush Mom last night... need to get the next round in the oven if I expect to be able to have any decent sort of a cycle going by the end of the year...

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.

Finished the drying of the 6 hermied soil girls. Got a little under 6 ounces out of em. We turned one ounce into BHO, and got a smaller amount than we were hoping, so we're just gonna donate the rest of it to pay the bills, and see what we get from the large harvest at the end of August... I've got my fingers crossed for at least 2 pounds, but that's probably a long shot. I've already seen a dozen or so nanners on these girls (I'm pulling them out whene I find em), and I'm pretty sure its gonna start working on seeds rather than more buds...
Well, at least I've got the Master Kush clones rooting and they'll be almost ready to flower by the end of this flower cycle. Oh, and I've got a pack of Grave Digger seeds (Romulan x Herijuana) on it's way, thanks to Batman from BeanBoyzGenetics. They're not his genetics (they're from Leprechaun), but its what matched the closest to the strain types I told him I was looking for. Mad props to him for that hookup!

Finally, I was able to convince the wife its worth it to get some NEW AC units. Found 2 8000 BTU wall-banger units for $225. I talked the guy down to $175, and now they're pumping out nice cold air into my living room. In the morning, I'll go pick up the foam sealant I need to seal all the way around the unit, and I'll install it in the grow room, replacing the 12,000 BTU unit I have in there now (the poor thing is almost as old as I am, and so tired. It's ready to be retired. Lol).
Yay for temps under 80!! Lol

God damn... no one showed up. 14 hours of trimming, me and my roomie... half of this shit is done. We. Do our trimming in two stages now. The first stage, we take off everything that's not really frosty. Thisends up being a little over half the trim. We're gonna use that for cooking oil. That's what's done now. Tomorrow, we'll go through it a second time, and trim ALL the frosty leaves off, and use that to make BHO...
I'll have pics up soon...

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...

Well, this is my third grow... I've been reading on here for about 2 years now. I helped a guy for a summer, trying to help his grow improve (he says I helped immensely, I don't think I did that much good. Lol). Then I got my card, started collecting equipment, and the Master Kush grow we had was our first ever on our own. We. Finished that, and then moved into this house. I was given plants to flower by our partner, and yeilded a little over a pound and a half from those (my second grow). Before sending those plants into flower, I had taken a round of about 20 clones. These are the result of those clones...
