A Christmas present I made for my girl.

 

[SofaKingHigh]

Added pallets with some plastic sheeting I had put on it. This will keep the plants up off the cold concrete floor plus plenty of height for when my drain away trays come.

I have a room in my basement. I used 3/4” rigid foam board with 3/4” ply over it. Foamboard is a great insulator and vapor barrier.
Edit: makes a huge difference on the humidity levels. I used the same thing in my wife’s office/room.

Growing like a weed

I got my drain away trays in the mail the other day, they will make my life much easier. I’m still debating how to configure them and it really depends on how many females I end up with. So I’ll set it up for all 6 and if I need to change it up I will. Very excited to have an automated system for all my runoff. Big thanks to @drainaway and there amazing product.

Those trays are legit I had no idea they make something like that. That’s going to be super helpful.

They have different sizes as well! They have the pedestal in the center and then the tray is all slopped to the drain hole. Super easy and no more vacuuming runoff lol.

Yeah I was worried about that and this is the biggest room I have grown in. I have a 6 inch exhaust right now but I do have a extra 8 inch inline fan I can setup just need to get ducking. As for the inlet it’s a passive with no light leaks. I can add another or go to a intake fan not sure what’s better. I also have to battle my basement being cold in the winter, kinda why I went with a passive intake. What do you think tho, I have limited experience with a room this big

Yeah it looks great :-) I also thought my would date cold in the winter with snow outside and would suffice! How wrong was I as I sit here looking at my phone shaking my head even with just one light setup of t5's is 75° in my 10 ft by 8 ft rooms I think that's the measuring something like that maybe a little smaller I'm not sure I'm not bringing out a tape measure again , I build them bigger than my originals but it stays a lot hotter in these rooms the grow room and the bud room and even with my exhaust fan which is probably 4 surely is not big enough so now I have like 4 surrounding areas still 75 degrees with one light burning it's up to 95 I hook them all up and my bug problem right now is not helping, it should have no bugs at all – –!! but life will find a way! I really do have to get it one of those small air conditioners but that's going to be more power consumption on an already taxed power bill I've had are even well I should say the warden made me change the lighting system to the off hours because they are now charging same rate as they would during Prime

time in the summer all year don't laugh now, but that's my grow room money is a big factor when you're retired... Oh my God I didn't check the date on this before I started blabbering oh well I wouldn't be out of the ordinary

Got my drain away trays all set up and all the pvc pipe in. I’m loving them even more now super excited! Thanks to @drainaway for making this grow even better.

Right now if I run my exhaust fan my humidity drops to 30% and heat is not an issue at all for me other than my heater runs way more with exhaust fan on. Also my co2 levels are higher when exhaust is off vs on so I don’t see the point to run it yet. I’m sure I will soon tho.

Transplanted today and the plants are looking good. Silicone on the pvc for the drain away trays worked amazing, all set up and no leaks at all. I’m feeding mega crop at .8 EC right now but will be bumping it up slowly.

 

[Oldman13]

Nice connected drain system even with that though oh, you better lift up the actual plant and look underneath it every now and then! Seriously I had no idea until I lifted up my plant ,what I was going to fine! And when I did oh my God! Even though they're so dang small scared hell out of me a strange thing is how the hell did they get there??? I hope this is the right video my phone has been screwing up lately I think one of these triggers pulled inside of it and is now controlling the workings of my cell phone

maybe it's the beginning of Doctor Who's DALEK and it's all my fault for allowing such a mutant to get inside of a cell phone and begin its Siege on the entire universe exterminate, exterminate, exterminate finding its way through the time continuum ascending to all areas of the universe through wormholes

I swear I wish I could review before I send these things here most definitely that is the wrong video not sure what happened there looks like I passed out maybe one of those things climbed in my ear I was just I would upgrade their thing so I didn't use video before I send without having to leave the entire site to go look at things first

Apparently I'm having a upload problems but here's three videos of what could be crawling around in your phrase also I think you picked the wrong color you should pick black instead of white if I'm not mistaken you had white catch trays connected for your drainage they should be black otherwise you have a hell of a time seeing some of these bugs if they get there you won't even know you have them will be invisible cuz I I am noticing that a lot of them are white
