Hey guys. I have been lurking the forums for quite a bit now, gathering information and knowledge. I have learned a lot from reading the forums here; thank you to all here. I have finally finished constructing my set-up.
Plant numbers and space were considered as I am doing this grow under the CA prop 215 guidlines (I am a patient). Goal is to harvest 5-6 plants per month in a perpetual grow.
First thing I paid attention to was cleanliness. I rolled out tons of visquene, and created a "clean room" which is sealed pretty well. Both tents are sealed into the room, facing eachother. I keep a clean set of clothes, sock booties, and latex gloves in the clean room which all go on before entering.
There are two tents: one 4x2 for clones and vegging and one 3x5 for flowering. The veg tent contains one hydrofarm 250watt MH all-in-one unit and a (not pictured) 2ft 2 bank flo for the clones. Both rooms are exhausted 5x/day with a 105 cfm fan for each room. Waiting on a CO2 tank (this week probably)... Flower room contains 400 watt HPS cool tube with 4 inch vortex (172 CFM) and 6 inch 203 cfm duct booster fan pulling cool air from outside tent and venting outside, keeping the temp about 75 degrees 4 inches from the tube!! I have the hood exhaust fans hooked to a temperature sensor which attempts to maintain 75 in the room. Ambient temps are around 63 or so (in a basement). All exhaust/intake to grow room is protected by HEPA filter of some sort or another. There is also a 150 watt HPS all in one unit in there too. Helps add extra light and boost room temps a bit... temps stay a pretty constant 75-77 when lights are on and 63-67 when lights are off. I have a heater that I am going to bring in if the temps drop any farther.
Growing using the Stinkbud aerosprayer system... no leaks or problems so far... took clones from a mum 12 days ago, started them under the 150 HPS, saw roots in about 7 days or so. Now the roots are going like a madman. I topped the plants just above the second node a few days ago... I hope it wasn't too early (it seems ok according to the Uncle Ben thread... they had 3-4 nodes each).
Using the complete Fox Farm line... just going to follow the instructions, not going to try to mess mixing different brands of nutes as I see many doing here... not on my first go at least.
Strain right now is Blueberry Hog. Looking to get one or two more strains on the next batch of clones, which should go in soon. There are more of the stinkbud Aero units built, but they are in the garage being sterilized before entering "the lab".
Thanks for looking, any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will try and answer any questions you may have.
