I'm socal but at elevation,low 30s for winter,highs 100+ for a few months summer.
I grow whatever I feel like at the time,usually 3 or 4 strains at a time,12-20 plants.Dialing a room for one strain wouldn't work for me,I like variety.
You had me sucked in until the pictures
The swerve reference kinda started the alarm
None the less great thread idea
I run between 11 and 17 strains all in my flower room. I've never had to baby a strain, if so it gets "da' boot"!
I'm using a hepa filter, to filter the fresh air and the next thing that I will do is run a duct from my fresh air intake and put it right next to the intake of my ac. Since I'm using a 2 way split AC system it circulates the air in the room and cools it down and also removes humidity. By putting the small fresh air intake flow next to my AC intake, this will cool down and dehumidify outside air that might be hot or humid from a day with bad weather instead of dumping that hot and or humid air on my plants, I will pass it through the AC system first.
"GrowBright high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) filters remove 99.97% of airborne particles 3 micrometers or smaller to prevent insects and other particulates such as dust, mold spores, and pollen from entering grow tents or grow roomsthrough the ventilation system."
when setting a room up this way do you have fresh air entering the room? If so what would be a good way of doing this ? thanksGreat thread idea!!!
Ive had this conversation many times b4 and have ran my rm both ways "hybrid" (as u call it) and completely sealed. Ive built more grow rms than i care to admit lol....tried it both ways and must say.....i havent noticed a difference. .....that being sed as a precautionary measure the next groom i put together (next month) will have an exaust system. Fwiw i use a propane fueled co2 generator.
I must also say my personal best yield ever (4# per) was in a semi sealed rm where i had an exaust on a timer than ran for 10min every 4hrs. I did this more for scent control than anything else. the amount of co2 lost when ventilating in such a way is negligible so my rationale is why not run the exaust and avoid the potential build up of ethylene. Not to mention its easier to control the smell w a lil negative pressure.
Hahahah born in the AV!!!Seems like you are in the high desert environment. I have a friend running the same setup like I do in Lancaster and he rarely uses a dehumidifier this way. Your best bet is to find the happy medium for multiple strains. What you maybe doing is fine if you are happy with the results. I grow 1 strain per room and I tend to manage the micro climate of the room to cater to what my strain is happy to be in. Like I've mentioned on the thread. A complete sealed grow room will give you good results but if your goal is to maximize your results for a sealed room for your given strain then you are better tweaking the environment like I have to dial in the micro climate as best as possible for your given area.
Read the thread it explains it, something about putting the fresh air in through the a/c intake to remove humidity and heat from the fresh air and using a filter to keep the bugs and spores out...when setting a room up this way do you have fresh air entering the room? If so what would be a good way of doing this ? thanks
Like, what kind of pics? It's kind of hard to show a picture of plants, harvest, dry, results all at once.. So like a pic of what the canopy looks like? Consistent 4# is tough, but average is 3.5-3.8 in this first room. Some strains have hit 4.2. But some only 3 max, this is usually more pure sativas. The first two pics are the same room. The third pic is from one of our other customers that doesn't scrog at all, he hits 3+ but I don't think he's quite hit 4. They use different methods, and media, nutes and all. I mean I wouldn't know any other way to show you besides more of these kinds of pictures... But I think the idea should be pretty clear. First room is close to 100% sealed with burners, the 2nd is ~95% sealed with co2 tanks.
