This has basically been 3 years in the making and I wouldn't be this far without all the amazing help here at the farm.
Room specs:
I caught onto the UC wave back when Jack first showed his setup, and I've been here at the farm researching it ever since. The pricing of the system was a little much for me so I built my own. After it was first built, it definitely leaked. Some DAP automotive/marine silicon sealant solved the problem.
System specs:
Genetics are going to be Bubba Kush(I thought it was the Katsu cut after I grew it the first time, still unsure though) for the coco & Black Raspberry in the hydro setup.
I got the Bubba from the same collective in LA that I got it from for my first grow and the budtender told me that it should be the same genetics, so far its looking that way. The Black Raspberry I got from a local collective and is new to me so we'll see how that goes. I had the clone caretaker give them to me in a water bottle bare-roots style, which might have been a mistake because the transplant into the hygromite is looking like it shocked the shit out of them... right now there looking really limp chillen in the dark, recoup'n I hope #fingerscrossed
Room specs:
5'x11' Grow area - partitioned a 11x11 room with a wall. Main(non grow area) room has 18k BTU window unit(its oversized, i know :\...) in closet wall. Partitioning wall is 2x4 studs with r-13 batts & 3/4" polyisocyanurate foam insulation with the foil facing on grow room interior.
6" 435cfm fan exhausting into main room, intake is 8" hole with dust shroom filter. A 16" orbital oscillating wall fan is mounted on the wall kind of centering each canopy(as best as I could anyways)
2 CAP XXXtreme 6" reflectors ducted inline with a 6" 435cfm fan on a separate loop from the grow area, the 1kw ballasts are mounted on the wall outside of the grow area. I built my own timer relay system, very basic. A separate outlet with the 120v timer plugged in triggers a DPST relay connected to the 240v supply line and lights outlet. For vegging right now, I have 2 4bulb T-5's for the DIY UC side and am going to pick up a 6bulb T-8 for the Coco side.

System specs:
4 bucket system + epi using Lowes 5 gallon buckets
8" netpot lids with hygromite
2" electrical conduit with o-ring bulkheads
Danner Mag2 250gph pump
Pondmaster AP 100
7" Flexair Diffusers in all buckets
3/4" inline filter
As a CYA measure, under the other 1kw I have 6 2gallon Roots bags filled with Roots Organic Hydroponic Soilless Coco mix. This was the same stuff I used for my first grow using the basic GH formula in a 5x5 tent with 1kw, and had great results as far as I could tell so I'm sticking with it.Genetics are going to be Bubba Kush(I thought it was the Katsu cut after I grew it the first time, still unsure though) for the coco & Black Raspberry in the hydro setup.
