This is my first post to the Grow Room Design & Setup Forum. I'm not looking for any specific information, maybe just some validation......
I think I've got my set-up in place. Still tweaking, and working on temperature control. Here's a list of my gear:
·Homebox XL 4x4x6
·Sunleaves Pioneer VIII (Grow) 8 x T5 / 36,800 Lumens / 6,500K
·Lumatek 600w / 120v Digital Ballast
·Hilux Grow HPS 600x Lamp 90,000 Lumens
·Cool Junior Air-Cooled Reflector
·Econojet 35 x 35 Ebb and Flo Kit
·Can Fan 6 In-Line Fan / 269 cfm
·12 Charcoal Filter / 200 cfm
·GH - FloraGrow / FloraBloom / FloraMicro
·CocoCoir Medium
I haven't opened the GH nutes yet as there are so many choices and opinions out there. GH's feeding schedule shows changing the nutes every week! I want an easy to use "first timer" system that will give me decent yields, and won't keep me dialing in the numbers 24/7. So, I'm still researching that......
I'm using a bagseed test dummy, and it has survived overheating, overwatering, high pH'ing and overlighting. I think the 8 bulb T5 fixture is too hot for this setup, so I'm playing with the number of bulbs being lit. I'm waiting for some Nirvana feminized PPP and Snow White seeds, so I'll veg the test plant until I receive the seeds, and then flower to sex it. If it's a male, I'll toss him and germinate the seeds. If female, I'll use the plant to test out my bloom set-up...
That's all for now. I'm going to attempt to attach pics.
Any hints, tips, tricks I need to know about?
Thanks!
