What a day what a day. Constructed the reservoir stand / cabinet. As well as a a shelf next to the sink area.
I actually have a work area to keep for myself. Very organized I must say.
The real sketch before the build. Keep in mind this thing is holding almost 3000lbs on top of it.
The bottom of the stand.
The first two joists in place.
Next joists and wall attachments.
Final joists in place.
Basically a floor type structure for the 300 gallon res to sit on.
Gettin there!
It wasn't easy gettin this big thing up there but we got it.
3 out of 4 barrels in there, still waitin on one from the hydro store.
And my new shelf area.
Nutes can fit and glassware as well. And it's in easy reaching distance from the sink.
Just clean, rinse and set em down.
My life has found new meaning.
Edit: Oh yea, and I grabbed a 1000W water heater for the 300 gal res.

Very nice res setup and shelf/work area my man. Pro!
Do you ever need to cool your res in the summers or?
Thanks,

Thanks man. Won't need any water cooling. It's not recirculatory or anything and the water coming out of my
RO filter is between 50F-55F. So I need to warm it up actually, which is why I grabbed the 1000W heater, should
be the proper size to heat 300 gallons to 67.5F efficiently.
You know I'll let ya know if I end up having to grab a water chiller though.
Today is week 8 day 1. Updates later.

Thanks for the words icky.
My mentor is a serious sterility freak when it comes to his grow operation.
It's safe to say his facility is cleaner than most hospitals.. He has started a company
called SEA Certified and I have been assisting him and hope to eventually become a
partner with him. SEA Certified is here to help raise awareness and inform consumers/patients
about healthy horticultural crop production practices. As it stands there are no standards.
Lets hope that changes.
Next goal for me is to become SEA Certified. www.SEACertified.com
SEA stands for "Sealed Environment Agriculture" which, yes is somewhat of a knockoff from
my "Controlled Environment Agriculture" company. He was originally asking me to sell him my
company in order to use the name, but decided that "Controlled" wasn't as direct and specific as
"Sealed" because Sealed implies controlled, and Controlled is not necessarily sealed. One of the
requirements of a SEA Certification is no intake/outtake and no hoods being ducted out of the room.
Also, anybody ever heard of Bedrocan? These guys are no joke when it comes to professionalism in the
cannabis horticultural scene. www.bedrocaninternational.com
Becoming a similar organization is another goal of mine.

Ogre99
Chemdawg Sour Diesel
Glass Slipper
Reverse Osmosis is all fitted and filling up the 300gal for the next 30 hours.
Waste water from the RO.
All finished up.
Next plan is to hook up a drip system.
Anyone have experience with spray stakes and slow irrigation systems?

I'm looking at some Pressure Compensating Drip Emitters currently. I would be most comfortable
with a 1/2 gallon per hour drip emitter so I can easily divide it up over the day.. The plan is to have my drip
system on during the lights on cycle, spraying the plants for 5 minutes every hour. This gives me
1/2 gallon per plant every day (5 minutes x 12 hours = 60 minutes of spray time = 1/2 gallon)
which allows me to mix up fertilizer once every 3rd day. The new 300 Gallon res gives me 300 gallons
of Reverse Osmosis water ready at the proper temperature to use at all times. My average use will be
180 gallons over the course of 3 days.

Looks like the Ogres and Slippers will be coming down Sunday, looked at the trichome glands
and viewed a 75% milky with very few clear and very few amber.... My kind of medicine. I'll
give the Chem Sour Diesels another week.
