Thank you all for taking your time to read over my post and I hope to hear back from you all soon! Stay medicated my friends. kiss-ass

are you worried about odor control at all?

if you are you should invest in a carbon filter

Negative, that won't be necessary for my current grow location. Thanks for the reply though! Anything else you can think of?

sounds like a solid set up my pirate friend

what strain art thou growing

I would get some bigger pots ... just cause i dont like transplanting when they are big (and i got a small pot)... also to cut down on soil cost you can mix 2 40lb bags of fox farm soil with a bale of promix

How much larger do you think? Also thanks for the advice on soil. I'll be looking into that.

Hey Roll It Up readers, I had a question about my setup. I currently have an inline exhaust with duct setup to keep the warm air pushing out. Am I also going to need an intake fan of some sort to bring new air in? As you guys can see the room is not the largest. I was hoping I'd be able to save a little money and just open the door to get new air in? I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.

good strain lol. If you want an easy grow medium, use coco coir. I love it personally, and with coco you can use a 1gal pot and it can get huge, theres people who grow regular sized plants in 3l bottles.you dont really need a fan, normally air can come in through the gap under the door. If your door sits low on the ground you can always shave 1/2 an inch off the bottom, no one will notice and if you ever need to change it you can get a good door for like 50$

SOUR DIESEL GODS DO ME GOOD THIS FIRST GROW. I love Sour D. Perfect answer, that's whats up! The room just so happens to be a little above ground level with an area for air to seep in. I can't wait to get this thing going. I should be completing the room-setup tomorrow 12-20 PST so I'll make sure to add picture updates as the process continues. Veging Should start within a week, most likely much less! = D

I would watch your Humidity levels I am over kill on my exhaust fans, the one you are using I just run to cool my light then I run a second that is like 420cfm to really move the air. It makes it easy to maintain levels of temps and Humidity. As for a inlet fan, you just need a opening that will allow air to come in others wise you make a big vacuum and your fan will work a lot harder and could possible burn out. I install a duct registry and put a filter on it to filter air before it enters my room.

Thanks Mr. Wally!

ROLL IT UP,

I received all my supplies today. Tomorrow morning the pieces get put in place. If all goes well I'll have some clones in there by the end of the night! This forums has been a lot of help. You guys are of much help!

With much respect,
Luffy the PK

this post was too short

Room almost done, tomorrow I will mount the osalating fan for air circulation, prepare my clones in the pots, and get to veging! YEA BUDDY = )!


NOTE: The Light is hanging low right now, but there is still plenty room to raise it another 4-5 feet.

excuse me mr pirate, your clothes aren't very piratey. you fraud..........

Year 2k+ Pirate. We had to change our look to fit in. YARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Finally up and running! I've got my clones transplanted and vegging, going on about 16 hours now, almost time to knock the lights out. I ended up going with a hybrid strain of Sour Diesel crossed with San Fernando Valley OG - "Sour OG". Talk to you all soon!

In your last pic LuffyakaDJames it looks like your plants are stretching, the light might be a little too far away.

nice, i cant tell if that is stretching or just long clonesa
