Wall of green

[BC farmer]

Hi Fellow Farmers,

Very first journal. First Coco run

Set up:

Two rooms each 6x600watt Hortilux LU side by side, sealed.
Co2 is being pushed through the poly through small cuts underneath the canopy upwards for maximum uptake.
Canna Coco medium
Canna nutes
RO water
Veg was done under T5's and followed by 1000MH

Strain: Nuken and OG

Currently battling lock out on the Nuken and flushing them B1/Vitamax.
Week three and just removed the last MH bulbs. HPS only now.

Sorry for the crappy smartphone pics. Haven't fully figured the uploads/edits out but there are only four.
Enjoy!

Beautiful setup. How many plants are in there?

Really excited to see the Nuken grow, saw it in the BBOB3- looks really dank. Massive grow!

Thank you Phenotyper, there are 63 plants in total

Cool setup. Can you tell us a little about the ventilation, and how you keep the temp/humidity in check?

Good to hear that Norcal!

Cool setup. Can you tell us a little about the ventilation, and how you keep the temp/humidity in check?

Three tiers, all covered in b/w poly. Tiers are perforated and carbon filtered air is ducted in UNDER the tiers, pushed in with 8" centrifugal fan ~750CFM. Exhaust from grow chamber to lung room is via 10" max-fan ~1000CFM.

Water-cooled CO2 is injected from lung room via 6" duct w/backdraft damper (&max-fan), which "Y's" into 8" intake.

Additional 6" duct from lung room - not ducted under the tiers - helps cool the room if needed (open intake end sits near cooling apparatus).

Still with me?

This setup is x2 as there are two of those flower rooms, both fed from the "lung".

This used to be a flip-flop but I found it too hard to maintain ideal conditions for both rooms due to being sealed and using CO2 enrichment.

Cooling is done with a 2 TON Thermoplus water cooled A/C. Water first runs through a 3-coil 2-fan chiller. All water running into this room first passes through the chiller which reduces the run fractions of the A/C ie.increased power efficiency. So when filling the reservoir, the room is being cooled.

A/C controls 'lights-on' humidity (in fact I often have to humidify).

Lights-off humidity is reduced by employing two "Simplicity" brand dehumidifiers and a 1500W ceramic heater keeps it warm. I like these old school dehums because they are analog controls and can be controlled with a timer.

This is not a completely sealed grow as intake/exhaust periodically vents in fresh air during lights-off. This venting is thermostatically controlled so it only comes on after the heater exceeds venting thermostat set-point.

Thanks for the kind words. Need all the luck I can get :-)

We have had a couple bad runs with mites and water issues. The mites are still there but controlled and in far less numbers. As far as the water, RO + UV light were installed. All is looking good now. A buddy has the same set-up and does consistently 2 lbs pr.
