Welcome all...
I wanted to start this journal is hopes to show that a guy with very little growing experience, no hydro, vertical growing or sealed room experience can build this system and really knock it out once dialed in. I feel DD and other members here have answered pretty much every question needed to get anyone started. I have a few runs under my belt in soil but had a partner to teach me… This will be the first grow on my own. I actually feel very confident I can pull it off and really dial in this system after growing pk for a year or so mpb style… we shall see.
I am in the process of building my flower room but figured I would start my journal earlier than planned to get some help in the process. I plan to finish my veg room first, throw the girls in, giving me 2-3 weeks at least to finish off the flower room.
The room will be a 7k, 8plant, sealed.
Now let’s get on to some questions…
I built a sub floor that is 15’x30’ in a basement that has a dirt floor to begin with. Floor is finished but I am unsure of the exact size to make the flower room. I was going to use the extra space to frame out a veg and drying room adjacent to the flower room.
My light/plant placement is…

Seems like everyone who is doing similar placement are getting away with a 10’ wide room. So is 10’ wide enough for purple kush? I ask because I have yet to grow any kush strains. I plan to make the room length larger then needed for expansion later but would like any insight from anyone growing purple kush tree style. I have never grown purple kush before, that’s why I’m asking.
I am going out today to get everything I need for my veg room. Planning to veg out 10 and keep the best 8. Is there a proven veg technique that everyone has somewhat agreed is the best? I was planning to just do a top drip but unsure of the frequency with the rock wool. I have also read here that the roots mat up on the bottom of the 6x6 cubes… also heard complaints about the rock wool getting to wet once in the mbps with the top feeds. Is the 6x6 rock wool cubes still what everyone is running.
Any insight on a cheap veg setup is much appreciated.
I will take pics tonight of the process of room framing and post them hopefully by tomorrow.
