flower room completed (pics)
Since this thread seems to be dying . . I will finish with the completion of the flower room and then perhaps comment as more is learned about how it works.
The green house has been set up, anchored down (already survived 35+ winds) and the door opened into the veg room.
Once the end panel was secured to the door in the building, a small door was installed so that the 2 areas can be isolated.
This shot is from the veg out into the flower. A wall was built inside the GH at the first rib and the area made more insulated with another sheet of plastic inside . . making the whole area double insulated.
There are 2 heaters in this flower area. The first that you can see is a propane burner placed under 2 steel cans (these are WW2 12"/50 ammo cans that are ~16 gallons each) which are filled with water. The propane burns, heating the water and giving off CO2 and humidity (high desert). There is also an oil heater to stabilize temps. The propane goes on in the evening, bring the water temp up to ~120-140 degrees. It then gets shut off and the electric oil heater works until the propane goes back on in the early morning, filling the area with CO2 for the morning grow period.
Still tuning the system . . been lucky so far as the night temps outside have been spring like ~30 degrees. The next stage is to take another rib section and set it up for 2 big trees that will never flower but provide ingestable medicine.
I have began to believe, from the research we are doing, that cannabis S is a vegetable and should be taken everyday to sustain health. These trees will provide it along with the trimmings.
