On second run and invested the time and money to try to do things right. Decided time to post a journal for a few mentors who have helped me great. God bless those of you. You know who you are!
Build room was an open warehouse space, 12 foot ceilings and perfect space. We built 3 rooms, a work shop w/ nursery cabinet Veg Room and Flower Room.
Yield Goal #3 per light.
Odor control is 2, larger ionizers outside of the room, replace and clean plates monthly. In rooms have many carbon filters and fans as well. Also have 2 Jars of ONA gel outside of the grow. The rooms are very well insulated with a 4inch fan/carbon filter pushing air out of rooms.
Still planning:
- Mother room adjacent to the workshop for added free space in VEG room.
- Upgrade of dual A/C HEAT units for the building this summer.
Some before/after pictures:
Style is perpetual grow with 3-4 weeks between each main table for added harvest time.
Cloning method is honey into Rockwell (dome-less).
Media is ProMix soil, amended with guano and worm castings.
Strains are everything from old school skunk to Widow to Vanilla Kush.
Flower Lighting is 7 , 1000 W HPS in main room w/ air cooled magnums. High end Digilume ballasts, controlled by an awesome light controller (a big investment, but well worth it, as timer is built in to the controller). Its called a "powerbox" and requires a 60 AMP breaker or larger. Wouldn't run a room without one.
Veg Lighting is 2 , 600 W MH in main room w/ air cooled magnums. Generic digital ballast connected to 110.
Nursery & Clone Room:
Large 3 level cabinet - each shelf with its own T-5 light. Plants move from top to bottom shelf as they grow and then get upgraded into Veg room in 2 weeks.
VEG- ROOM:
Dual 600 lights Vented with Raptors. Plants spend 3-4 weeks here before moving to a table in the Flower Room. Built a 4 X 8 plywood table and a few shelves for smaller plants not pictured.
Flower ROOM:
7 - 1000W Air Cooled Magnum Hoods
1 - 12' X 5' table, 3-1000 W lights
2 - 8' X 5' table, 2- 1000 W lights
More to come - feedback welcome! :)
