[mwooten102]

Now you see why I suggested you paint the floor white! lol! hurts your eyes don't it!

yea it's incredibly bright. I bought some #5 burn glasses to wear when the lights are on. I should fill these rooms tomorrow night if I work fast.

https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/631709-2013-outdoor-central-cali.html - this years outdoor thread. the previous years threads are in my sig.

my soil mix is roots organic mixed pearlite, vermiculite, cow manure, worm castings and mykos spores and some sandy loam.

I'm gonna fill the room tomorrow with a bunch of stuff from my neighbor, it'll save me 2 months and we're just gonna split the haul. its gonna be stuff like... blueberry, red diesel, fire OG, Agent orange and some other stuff.

That sounds like a plan! I skimmed thru ur sig links and it sounds and looks like uve done pretty good outside! Hopefully ull have the same success indoors.

The flower room is basically done I'm waiting on a seal for the bottom of the door and a 8" pleated heap filter for the rooms intake. The veg room needs a wall fan mounted and a shelf for a clone tray and I'll call it done.

The outside of the room is pretty close to done and insulation is basically done so the only important thing on the agenda is to tie everything into my inline filter and port it out the roof.

And she's full.

So freshs, so clean... What a pleasure to look at shes gonna do well for you!

 

[mwooten102]

It gets hot as balls in there! I'm cutting the roof tomorrow and putting in a vent for this room and an oversized roof turbine for the rest of the garage. Hopefully all will be well.

What are you using to cool your hoods? 10"? I could imagine how hot 3kw would get in the garage, you gotta super cool those hoods. I think I saw Mellokitty building a ventilated cab for her digi ballasts inside the grow room under plexiglass. Probably overkill for 3kw ballasts though, lol.

 

[mwooten102]

All ducted

 

[mwooten102]

I'm thinking of adding a fan right before the inline filter.

 

[Jozikins]

Certainly couldn't hurt to add one before or after the filter, before would help muffle sound. I'd test the air pressure coming out of the exhaust with your hand, see how she's flowin'.

 

[mwooten102]

I think i'm going to add one I think I'm getting back flow.

 

[mwooten102]

veg room over filled.

 

[bazookajoe]

Is that ur outdoor batch?

 

[mwooten102]

Yea 32 of them the other 24 will be indoor.

 

[bazookajoe]

One helluva plan man... u gonna start a new thread for the indoor grow or just keep this one rockin??

Is that an AC you have in there? It's not able to cool the 3k watts?

yea its a Sharp 10k btu and its putting out heat after a bit and the cold cant over come it.. its cooler in there without it on. and I added a valuline 4" today. I'm kind of at a loss at this point... the veg room that draws off this one is completely cool even with the 1k watter going in there.
