Lol, so decided not to go with intake and exhaust fans - just too fucking loud, and stealthiness is kinda big to me.
Planning is still going, but without having even a lick of construction/planning experience, it's slow going and the plan is always changing.
Have now decided that I'm just...
In a couple of weeks I'm going to be building an El Blastido octagon (with some tweaks, taller, wider, etc.) and I'll post pics of my progress in this thread.
Exactly the conclusion that I came to.
People don't realize that in addition to cooling, AC provides dehumidification (which is a necessity in a sealed room environment).
Even though you might save marginally (and this is after the massive startup costs involved) on cooling in the LOOOOOONG...
Trying to run a tent sealed is virtually impossible - I tried, but you can't stop smell from escaping from a tent.
Also, depending on how hot the outside room is, the tent lacks enough insulation to make cooling it a feasible and efficient solution.
I'm building an insulated room instead of...
Yeah, building my new setup now, and have basically tossed the idea of ice boxes out.
Still gonna go with a Hydrogen CO2 burner with a remote reservoir, but the hassle of setting up ice boxes, a chiller (or two), a large reservoir, and then having to buy a dehumidifier didn't sit too well with...
Firstly, decided to go with 4 600s vs. 3 1Ks - easier to cool, lower electrical cost, more efficient, and I wouldn't have to have an electrician come in and change a circuit over to 240V like I would with the 1Ks.
Assuming I can get dialed in with 4 600s vertically, that'll produce more than...
Was mostly joking about driving out there, but I've sent and received clones with no problem in overnight envelopes - using my bubble cloner, just put the rooted clone(s) in a ziplock with a little water and ship it out - easy as pie, in an envelope (no need to use a box and go through the extra...
So I did a lot of work today with not much to show for it.........the place I thought I was gonna be able to exhaust out of (the large gable vent) turned out to be a non-starter, so after drilling holes in three more locations I finally found something that I THINK I can make work, although it's...
Looking good man.
Might have to drive out by your way for a Blue Kush clone.
EDIT: BTW Integra, going aircooled with a chiller and some Ice Boxes now.......not sure if you're aware yet.
Cosign on that; it's been the only time in years that my girl actually takes an interest in my hobby.
That puppy is cute as all fuck off, get some more videos up, mang!!!
And that honey oil shit looks pretty cool, but I'm nervous about gases so I'm gonna stick with my fucked up making hash...
Yeah, but the goal was to do this setup as inexpensively as possible and then buy all the fixin's after the first harvest, like tri-meters, etc.
Dealing with a fucking computer virus all day today which has basically made my progress nil except for a two hour trip to Home Depot where I figured...
Lol.........mine came with a handle as well for leverage, and I thought to myself "what kinda pussy needs a handle for a drill?"
Dar, dar.
Anyhow, running to Home Depot in a minute to grab some stuff, but while I'm here I figured I'd post the rough budget/plan - FYI, I hope that my...
Okay, well I said I was gonna make this my design/construction thread, and I am.
So here goes.
For all those just tuning in, I have a garage which is "kinda" insulated, but gets dummy hot in the summer (like 100F) and dummy cold in the winter (like 20F).
So in order to grow the danky dank...
Just crawled back into the crawlspace to check out the temp/humidity sensor I left down there - was ecstatic to see air temps of about 65, but that was accompanied by humidity in the high 80s (although it did rain today).
So that's good and bad; sounds like I can keep it cool in there using...
A little of both, actually...............building a 12x8 room (about 8' tall) and that's gonna house both veg and flower areas.
Flower tent (4x4) was sold yesterday, but I think I'm gonna keep the veg tent inside the room.
Starting construction tomorrow, gonna build the 12x8 base and then...
Not sure if anyone's really checking this thread anymore, but I figured I'd give anyone checking an update.........so the garage is almost ready for construction to start - took a shitload of throwing stuff away and moving stuff around, but I've almost got a clean palate to work with.
So...
