Here we go again. Get the popcorn.. First attempt at Coco. Please tune in and share your knowledge and experiences.

So, after a 5 year, involuntary hiatus, I set out to build a dual purpose indoor grow op. We also run a microgreens and sprouts business so we will be using a portion of room for the "legit" business, :) This has turned into a freaking huge undertaking. Not made any better by my OCD and ever-changing mind. I have 2 girls that are over 3 months into veg so the first couple of chapters will be an ongoing journal of all the changes and setup I do over the next 60; meanwhile we can see what this Lemon OG and Gorilla Cookie plant do. So, be sure and send me all of your great suggestions and experiences please.
Thanks for tuning in.

And for those of you OGs out there; yes, that is my Uncle in these first intro pics. Just kinda setting the stage so I don't get guys trying to explain what N-P-K stands for and things like that, lol.. We have no need to hide, we're legally good now, but still, I'm not going to name drop. I'm sure many of you recognize him, the Trinity Co. legend himself, lol.... I wish I had 1/4 of his knowledge.. But he hates indoor and actually laughs at me, as all my efforts produce so little in comparison, so I'm on my on..

Let's do this...

Here's the new building. 8X24 That was as big as I could go where I live without issues.
We have 10K in lighting. A 2 AC ton in the bloom room, and a 1 1/2 ton up front.
We are hoping for a very clean install. But, again, we are going to let these girls run their course before we change the room up too much.

And, as of last night, this is about where we are.. Still just plugging away at all the million tedious tasks. Install all the outlets, water, drainage, air movement, exhaust, all the things nobody talks about when they are blabbing about how easy it is and how lazy growers are, HA!
That's a 25 and a 20 Gal Smart Pot - the cages are 30" across.. :) I really am going to miss trees - And might come right back if this SOG doesn't rock for me.

Looking good so far!

Well, thanks, but you know as well as I do, those girls are in shock.. They had been held hostage in a tent for over 3 months.. And, btw, that tent growing is way harder than big rooms with tons more equipment, I caught hell trying to control that tiny environment. When I moved them, the first few days were scary. They didn't look good. But, it was a big change.. And too, they were under a shared 600w, and I took them into the 5K on just them, lol.. I backed the dimmer down to 600 then 750 and 1K.. I'm having to only run 3 lights for about a week though. I am returning about $1500 worth of good fans (Vents US) and just buying another mini-split. If you need any AC products, I am becoming an affiliate for HVAC Direct - They are a rare group and the owner is all about you being happy.. I've been running some of those fans a month and he had zero hesitation in just telling me; if they aren't working for me, box em up.. So, yeah.. Just a great company.. Anyway, nice to meet a new face.. I haven't been on here since 2016.. I've been on vacation.. With the state.. All inclusive type.. Later-
