So let's get down to it....

The Plan:

- 1 Vegitative Growth Room
- 2 Flowering rooms
- 1 Drying room
​

16,000 watts(air cooled), 6 tons of cooling, Natural gas CO2 enhancment..... Dirt Bagger-style







stick around

The main spaces is finally starting to take some shape..... On the right you'll see a drain tray, next to that's going to be a utility sink, above that is the 2-12' ducts you got six-inch ducts all the ways around the room and on the ceiling in the corner is where the CO2 generator will be located.

little bit of the electrical utility are in the main space.

Veg room equipped with 2 ton A/C and 4 lights

Looking out of the veg room (2-12" ducts for whole room exhaust fan.

Damn bro, someone has prior construction experience!! Rooms look super clean, basements are my favorite. Also I love the shower floor as a drain.

Welcome to the emerald rectangle! Such an awesome build dude! Your obviously a craftsmen and a scholar, seriously impressed brother. What strains you running in this beaut of a grow op? What was the climate like where you moved from? What is your approx elevation now? Humidity and elevation where the two biggest growing hurdles I encountered after moving here from MI. Cuts that you bring with you will perform differently than your used to aswell.

 

[G u]

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the interest. I hired ****** Construction to do all the contracting and **** **** Heating & Air to install the multiple A/C's. (pm me for contact info)
~
I can't take credit for the build the only thing I can take credit for is the design and layout. I was able to specify exactly what I wanted and the building professionals should me how to achieve that goal.

I love questions, keep them coming.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone is so nice here.
I brought up a ton of bodhi cuts, All 6 of Bodhi's select Goji OG, Instant Karma, Goji x Sunshine Daydream, Trinity x Ortega, Golden Triangle, Pura Vida, Alien Kush

I also popped over 200 beans which is over 15 full packs of phenotype wonderland!!!

I moved from Florida to Colorado, so it's ALL NEW to me. I'm going to have to re-learn a lot of stuff and tweek some old methods to fit the climate. My elevation here is 5,080 ft above sea level...... a little different from Florida's 13ft.

I've done my best to deal with the new humidity issues by installing a commercial grade humidifier and a 60 pint Ideal Air dehumidy in each of the 4 rooms (including the drying room)

@WWF what should I expect as far as performance from the clones from Florida?

Also if you guys hooked up all the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and contracting for that room and are in a med state. You might want to look into starting a side company building peoples rooms. Especially if your in a newer med state. You can make a nice living off skills like that alone.

Now you just gotta get your couches in there and live it up!! lol

Seriously nice room build, why baby blue walls though?

My Goji OG cut is a trooper, one of my personal favorites. You shouldn't have a problem id just grow them out and see for yourself. When I moved up into the mountains I had problems with a wifi cut but that was it but I think it could of been more from the move, although who knows the different pressure at elevation could effect certain strains.
