Helo all i figure as started my first setup i will do a grow journal to show you what i've been up too and what it requires to get a optimal setup going.
First off this a completely legal grow It wil be for me and my mother who are patients and the rest will be made into hash, edibles and lotions to help with medical problems. Me and my caregiver are roomates and have a 15x10 or so basement with laundry room. The basement is unfinished and provide a nice grow environment as its stay near 69 degrees year round. Keep in mind my original plans where much bigger much effciency and budget took over in the end. This setup up ran me around 5k dollars but I know the owner of a grow shop shop so it prolly is upward of 7k in equipment. Also my roomy owned the 4x4 tent, 600w lumatek digital ballast and the cloner so that would make it around 8k$. I would shave down the cloner from a 45 site to a 25 probably tho
Major Supply List:
8x8x7 secret jardin tent (flower room)
4x4x7 secret jardin tent (veg room)
2 600 watt HPS lumatek ballest ran into hortilux bulbs inside 6" cooltubes (w240v cables)
2 h150 kessil LED magenta spectrum for blooming/flowering booster (w/ 240v cables)
1 h150 kessil LED blue spectrum for vegging (w/240v cable)
2 48 inch shoplights with 2 daylight and 2 plant/aqaurium bulbs
1 C.A.P MLC4XT lighting controller unit and 20ft 240v cable
25ft of 8" and 6" ducting
420 cfm active air 6" fan and 700 cfm active air 8" fan
Huge Active Air Carbon filter (see picture thinks it a 36x12 model or something)
8 pack power grower setup with resiorvors ( ran as two 4 pack in flower tent)
4 seperate power growers ( ran in veg room )
45 site power cloner from botanicare (also had get inserts for it)
Bontanicare Flood Table setup (approx 100$ great for stealth grow)
3 active air 4 outlet air pumps
Stealth RO200 System provides 7ppm water on constant basis
Home depot clamps, screws, tape, hosing, tubing, storage containers, etc (cost me like 400$ worth of crap)
Multiple digital timers and 2 humidity/temp gauges
Advanced Nutrients and Extreme Gardening Nutrients (almost all Advanced Nutrients)
That is most the list minus some small stuff since my caregiver already had ph/ppm testers, bamboo, scissors, a drill, minor tool kit.
I wanted to comment on the picture of the 8x8 room you notice they have large girls in there. Those were actually my friends mother plants and that weve cloned off them twice we are gonna flower them for our firhast run. I will not be giving many details on them as there history is very different. For this grow journal I will concentrate on the new clones that are around 10 days old. I labeled this week 1 as it is the first week out of the cloner for our girls, most went into the flood table but 4 got power growers(see pictures). This is week 1 of the Veg feeding schedule. We plan on vegging approx 3-4 weeks and flowering for 8.
I encourage questions as I will do my best to answer. I did over 3 months of research before investing into this so im serious when i say ask away and i will do my best to answer.
