Let me preface this journal with this post -

and this photo:
I live in Oakland, CA and I am allowed 72 plants PER prescribed patient in my house, up to a limit of 3 patients per home. Either that or 32 sq ft of canopy
We started this room over a year ago and this is the start of our 4th grow. I still very much feel we're completely in an experimental phase as things change things with every grow...a lot of things
Here's the grow room in its current state
We added double doors to the entrance for when we need to tend to the ladies during the night time...foliar feeding, pH checks before lights on and what nots. 100% light leak free...even added the weather stripping all around the door and on the bottom to ensure total seal ^^
Here's our 40gallon res with the water chiller, we keep the water at a solid 68 F and even have a heater in there set @ 68 F incase the temp dips too low.
Also in the res are a 1000gph pump for the drippers and a 191gph pump to supply the chiller.
We are currently using the Cutting Edge Solutions line for our nutes. We use all 6 parts of the CES nutes along with the following FOR VEG:
Hygrozyme
Roots Excelurator
Sweet
Super Thrive
Drip Clean
We drip for 15 minutes every 2 hours during the 20 hour day phase.
In this photo you can see one of our 3 wall mounted, oscillating fans as well as the CanFilter 38 Special 100 with a 693cfm CanFan - the room is sealed for 20 hours a day and then during lights out...the CanFan pops on to dump the air out. The ducting is part of our closed, light-cooling system...this part brings cool air in from the room next to it with the help of 2 vortex fans...you can also see the piano string that we dual purposed...1 is to hang the co2 tubing above the table (clothespin with the black tubing)...but more importantly, we use it to dry the harvest
Here you can see the 2 vortex fans which are attached to our hoods. We're running 2x Lumatek 1000w ballasts. We recently cut down from 2 x 1000w + 2x 600w (3200w total) because heat was an issue for us. If you read the previous post I linked...you can see C3PO and R2D2 in this pic As well as our newly added 5000 BTU window A/C (with remote!!!) and the co2 tubing clipped to the piano string.
This is a 12,000 BTU Hydrofarm portable A/C...dunno why they call it portable..you gotta make holes in the walls to attach the intake and exhaust ducting...I guess because it has wheels. We keep the room right around 70 F. We're growing a couple of purple strains and really will be able to put the screws to them once they start flowering
One of the two humidifiers. We keep humidity between 55-65% FOR VEG. On clearance @ Wally's for 10 bucks each
The newest family member, the IGS-061 co2 controller. Set @ 1500ppm this thing keeps the room nice and enriched, even has a light sensor so it don't dump co2 during the night cycle...co2 has made such a huge difference in our grows that we highly suggest spending the loot for a tank and distribution system...even if you don't go for the controller right off the jump, there are plenty of online calculators that can help you figure out the flow rate and timings.
Now on to the ladies!!
Most of our clones came from Harborside Health Center in Oakland, CA on 11.13.09.
3 x So Gouda (Blueberry x Cheese x G13 Haze)
7 x Purple AK 47 (Grandaddy Purple x AK 47)
5 x Purple Kush (Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani) <-- These clones come from Blue Sky Cafe as they get them directly from Oaksterdam's nursery.
This batch we're trying different grow medium as we're looking for the best results from the one's we've previously tried.
We have 1 of each strain in a 3x3x3 rockwool cube on top of a 8x8x8 cube.
A Purple Kush (PK) and Purple AK (PAK) are each in a Sure To Grow (STG) Storm that is surrounded by Hydroton.
The rest are in a 50/50 mix of Hydroton and Diatomaceous Earth.
Some of the PK and PAK.
PK. Color is a little light as we only go 25% nutes the first week while they acclimate.
So Gouda.
PK in RW.
Any questions or comments are more than welcomed. I'm sure I've left stuff out...but it's late/early and I can get to them in future posts. I'll get more detailed on each plant as well.
Grow Safe.
