Decided to throw my style out there with a few pics. Ya don't really get the full effetct from the pics as I can't get a wider angle but ya can get the general idea. What you got to remember is that my bud is all the way round, not just the parts facing the light.
Room is 8ft x 8ft x 6ft high. Angles are deceiving, the plants are about 5.5 ft tall and about 3ft wide.
3 stacked 600w cool tubes. Extractor is fitted to the bottom of the stack and now pulls the heat through the floor and down into my kitchen where the warm air exits frow under my kitchen units. This is a clean extraction as inlet comes from outside room and does not need a scrubber.
I also have a second extractor that scrubs the dirty air from the room and pumps down into my bedroom. If you haven't already worked it out, my room is in the loft. There is also an extra 600w bare bulb outside the ring (you can see it in the back ground) of plants but summer is coming, temps are rising and it just spews to much heat.
Each plants is individually caged which in my opinion is a no brainer, more work to set up but worth it. There are litterally 100 reasons to do this but that for discussion later.
Each plant is on its own lazy susan /bearing. This was an excellent find, each bearing can hold over 200kg and are available on ebay for just £4.50 each. These give me total access to each and every plant equally and allow for easy rotation, feeding, inspection, maintainance and training. I have just bought a high torque, low rpm motor and intend hooking them up to rotate about once every 5 mins. Rotating manually at the moment but automated will follow. The motor was just £20.
In hindsight I have made a few errors, training shoud start at the very bottom of the plant. I stripped the bottom 12" which put my lower light out of work pretty much, not alot of green to feed. The same goes for the top of the plant, the main top cola's almost have a light all to themselves, not very efficient I know. Will be topping or super cropping next run to allow the top ring of growth to push up to the top light and maximise efficiency.
My aim next run is to get a 5ft barrel of green on each plant. Could waffle on but too much text is boring, heres a few more pics of plants, 1 week left of 8 but will prob leave a bit longer.
Slag me off, ask questions, rip me to pieces, I am a stubborn old fuka and welcome it all.
