first hydro grow journal-bagseed

good u got temps down they where kinda high

my temps are still way too high 92 degrees wont cut it. I just found out my new fans and pumps arrived and when i get done with my shit today i think we may finish up the flowering room. with these new fans i feel i can get sub 85 temps but i have an ac unit that my friend is bringin me when he comes to town this weekend and with that ill be able to keep it at an ideal 75 day 68 night time temp. I'm really excited. plus all the plants are looking freakin amazing.

more updates later tonight for sure, possibly pics (cross your fingers the set up looks badass) With the set up nearly complete its gonna be as maintenance free and automated as possible plus i wont be forkin out anymore $$$ for random things i didnt think of before. but happy growin for now

peace

so i got home at like 5 and passed out till 9. i woke up at 9 to emergency scramble to get shit outta sight since my roommate informed me we were havin people over. so i havent gotten anything done really. i did switch the ones in the veg room to flower. im gonna flower them under fluoros for one week then move them to the hps to keep strecthing down. the only reason i didnt get anything done and napped was cause me and my roommate had to argue over ventilation issues then just said well come back to it cause we were both really heated.

thanks for the rep im glad you like my set up. its only getting better and better. our flowering set up is gonna be an aero/nft set up that should kick some major ass.

seedling update 3/4 of green spirits are sprouting well the other is slow to pop but i feel shes gonna come up nicely and i feel the same about my skunk haze thats just now pokin out. i also got 5 more bagseed sprouts im gonna play with and im building a cloner soon as well.

but for now ima go hang out with some people we met this weekend ill try to get back on later. gotta write a paper at some point but i plan on putting in time tommorrow on the vent system since we didnt do shit but establish how we arent gonna do things today.

im glad you got your aero set up in youve got all the tools to grow some very fine buds. post some pics if ya can. what strains you gonna be growin.
happy growin

ya
i have like 25 plants going veg and flowering


good luck on ur paper

and thanks 4 the kind words

ok update for today. i worked a few kinks out of the ventilation system, basically made it more efficient and draw air from where it is supposed to. the squirrel cage fans my roommate ordered pretty much suck balls but i can make them work....i hope. started lsting some of the plants in the veg room they are out of control.
i finished my paper and got some shit done today but im really only a little what i did for the ventilation only improved what we have there..i havent added anything and fans are crucial.

but happy growin. if you got questions just ask

grow update. plants are lookin healthy as ever they are 25 days old and have leaves bigger than my hand im having to tie these bitches down. im gonna call my friend and try to borrow her camera so i can get yall some more pics but i dont know when for sure.
theyve been flowering for 3 days now gonna keep em under fluoros for another few more days before i crank up the 600watter. Its so exciting to see them grow up and in a few weeks ill know how many females ill have. then ill be even happier.

the skunk haze sprout that i was hopeing would make it did and is a healthy little green thing. all but one of the green spirits i germed are doin just fine. hopefully ill get a good mother out of the green spirits and i dont care if the skunk haze is male or female cause i plan on pollinating a few green spirit bud sites if its male and if its a female and looks beatiful, ill clone that bitch too.

i have made zero progress on the flower room and ive been busy as a motherfucker lately. i have an exam tomm which isnt helping and with the weekend comin up ill have spare time but its getting myself to priortize thats the problem

but happy growin

subscribed ill read more tomoz puff puff pas>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
laters

the plants are exploding with growth. the plant i attempted to fim went insane growing. and ive been raising the lights more frequently. goin to get a camera today i think. and im gonna try to get to the flower room but i just got a bunch of funk and it makes the work slow

ok i have pics from last friday but i was not able to get them loaded for whatever reason. ill probably post them later tonight. flower room update: got the ac installed in the attic and have it running into my closet. ill be giving an update later tonight hopefully if i have time, tomorrow evening at the lastest hopefully with pics the flowering room is nearly completed!

peace

quick update the ac and fans are working extremely well together as of right now i can maintain the flower room at a pretty awesome 76 degrees. im gonna work on pulling more air in/out of the room but as of right now this should be fine. hopefully pics and another update later on tonight. our aero/nft set up is nearly done we just have to connect the shit insert plants and voila, finally finished with a few things that need to be worked out like making the door light proof and shit like that. finally almost done with the setup.

peace
j

ok after a little more toying with it im using half the energy and keeping the temps at 80+/- 1 degree. im gonna have to buy more timers because i cant leave the fans off when i want the ac to go off or maybe ill run the ac when the lights are on, does anyone think that would be to much power on one outlet. a window ac unit that isnt very old plus a 600w hps?
any answers help

peace
j

what up monkguy
just stopping by 2 c how things r going
iv been kina busy and havent been on much
hope all is well

good luck bro

off 2 outlets i have 3 fans, 3 air pumps, 400watt ballast, window AC, & a 100w CFL. All on timers of course. you should be fine......

thanks for stoppin by cam, i havent had to much spare time myself but im trying to keep up updating stuff. would be better if i had pics.

caddyluck thanks for the feedback that gives me some perspective so i feel like i can sleep better now. i really do appreciate it

as for how things have gone since my last update. we got the ventilation nearly perfected. minus a carbon scrubber which i can make in 30 minutes and will have done by the end of the week and feel i can do a few more things to make it flow better but for now i want to get the plants in there.

So anyway tonight we had everything hooked up (my new aero/nft set up is gonna be pretty impressive i feel) and we were checking for leaks when part of the drain showed a leak. The leak actually came from a fucking knot in the wood. what the fuck, like seriously a flat piece of board is leaking but whatever. we put some sealant on it i hope it works and doesnt add bad shit to the nutes. we are gonna have to replace the rez at some point anyway but shit happens and i have to deal with it or i cant grow.

the plants are growin uncontrollably i cant wait to move them. the sprouts i had from expensive seeds almost died the other day because they werent given water. i corrected the problem but i hope i didnt stress them to much to the point of hermieing when they are older and there is one in particular that i hope recovers because she was looking pretty bad.

thats it for now, happy growin

Last time i was able to take pics was friday. but i do have pics of what we had setup on friday and pics of the plants. here are a few

heres a pic of the spray heads inside the pvc tube


picture of the pvc rail leaning on the wall


picture of the ac that i put in the attic and ran the ducting to the room


picture of the inline fan i rewired cause my roommate wired the ground to the power supply and was shocked hardcore and yes he is retarded. we made this btw



picture of my plants, in veg room, they are now in flowering room



grow update the plants are now in their homes till harvest. Their new home is pretty much an aero nft set up with 3 pvc rails draining into one rez with 2 800ish gph pumps powering it. each rail can acommodate 4 plants somewhat comfortably, i have a feeling its gonna be reaal crowded soon. they are on bloom nutes now and are a little over a week into flowering ill get pics up of the set up in the flowering room and the plants as soon as i can

anyways i want to get pics of the whole new set up on here soon im just waiting for a camera

peace
