New Room.. 4x100w HPS and 1 4' Tek Light

Hey guys.. My attic grow is on hold due to the still much needed work on it but that will be my winter project and it will be up and running in the spring..

Now I have almost finished my new room inside house in the basement..

The room is 15x17 fully insulated and covered with 6mil thick construction grade poly. I have 2 4x8' Sun Huts' each with 2 1000w HPS Eye Hortilux lights, and a 2'x4' veg/clone tent with a 4' Tek Light.

In the Veg/clone room I have a 25 site Botonicare cloner, a homemade 15 site Aero Veg tub and my 4 current moms in dirt. I just made a 5 gallon bubble bucket for my new single mom. I will now have 1 mother in a bubbler, the site Aero for veg and the 25 site Botonicare.

I am just getting ready to put 15 in a homeade Aero System going under 1 light and another 4 in soil under the 2nd light in that tent.

I am about 2 weeks away from my next clones to go into flower and then every 2 weeks after that.

I will have a harvest from one 1kw hps every 2 weeks.

You will se in the pics that my tents are all set and I have the 50 gal reservoirs siiting in there but I still need to make my flower Aero machines which will be done Wed night and all will go in there on Friday after it is flushed and fully tested.

I have a Can 33 Filter fan combo for odor and 2 aircooled hoods in each tent. I have covered the light hoods and ducting with Sunshield IR blocking.

I have a CO2generator on order and it will arrive at my local Hydro shop on Thursday just in time for everything to go into flower.

I am using Dutchmaster 2 Part Gold nutes with zone, silica and Super Oxy as well as Koolbloom for ripening..

Enjoy the pics, this is 90% complete but still a work in progress.



See Pics attached..

How is the humidity in the basement? I grew in a basement and had a herm problem due to the 85-90 % humidity during the dark hours. I solved this with a dehumidifyer and more ventilation.

Thanks Guys.. No Problems with humidity so far but I just have my my veg/clone tent going. Im putting the four old moms and the 12 clones into flower under 2 100w hps tommorrow. My order got delayed and I am setting the rest up in the morning. Flushing the system with bleach water tonight and again with plai water in the morning.

I will post some pics once I get everything transfered over and getthe new bubbler going for the new mom.

I do have a dehumidifier ready to set up as well as an a/c unit. It might get a bit hot with 4 1000w light going on in the sealed room..

We'll see..

Wow.. Still working on it and my moms and clones in veg that are about to go into flower are getting pretty huge. Hopefully not too big..

Well I got the HydroLogic RO system and 55 Barrel installed today and the barrell is about half way full right now. I need an adapter to use the float valve so I have not installed that yet. Once I get that I will run it 24x7 and keep just over 50 gallons of fresh water at all times fo top offs or res changes.

I also added 3 - 20 Amp circuits to the room today. The breakers are connected the conduit is run, the wires pulled. I still need to wire up the outlets and then the power is all set.

I picked up a cycle timer for the pumps and the CO2 generator came in today. I now have everything for the room just need to get the final touches installed on a few things.

I'm really hoping to have the 4 soil moms and the 12 clones in 12/12 under the 2-1000w hps in the 4x8 tent tomorrow. This grow setup is alot larger than my previous and is taking alot longer than expected to get going... But, its almost there..

I already have taken cuttings for the 2nd 4x8 tent and those should be in flower in a few weeks or so.

I'll update and post some new pics after i finish working tomorrow..

Later

Got a bunch of stuff done yesturday..

Finished up the electric on all 3 20A circuits. Put the wall back up after I got all of my large stuff moved into the room and then covered that wall (the only one that touches the rest of my basement) with black plastic.

I got 2 of my ballasts hung on the wall for the tent in use now. The other will be in flower in a few weeks.

The Door is not fully done but it is cut out and for now I just have a small piece of black plastic hanging over the opening. I am grabbing a zipper today and 1 more hygrometer. ( I need 4 total) I am returning one of the 5 633gph pumps today. I was hoping to use one of them as an inline pump but it worked like crap that way so I bought a non submersible inline pump that works much better. I will be using it to drain my reservoirs and pump fresh water back into them from the 55 gallon barrell of RO water.

The CO2 Generator is hung and the gas line is run but not fully connected. I just need to get a 3/8-1/2 adapter and I will have that done in 5 mins.

I did get my new mom in the bubbler bucket that I just made. Just a 5 Gallon Pot with 2 6 airstones and 1 air pump with a net pot lid. Cost me like 25 Bucks to make. It is really small but I will not need to take cuts from it for about a month.

I have my 4 original soil moms in the flower tent under 1 1000w hps. I also have the veg tub in there as well. Yesturday was the 1st day of 12/12. I have not moved the 12 clones out of the veg tub into the aero system yet because the adhesive for the new caps needed more time to dry and cure. I wanted to get them into flower but did not want to risk the nasty chemicals getting in there before it cures so I just left them in the veg tub. They are cramped as fuck in there but will be VERY HAPPY soon in the new aero system. I am planning on flushing it out with Bleach and then plain water a few times tonight then get my clones in there with some nice nutes in their huge reservoir.

I also put up a 12"x6' shelf for all of my nutes and a few of my toys as well as a 6' table and a leather high back chair.

Its getting there..

Check out the pics of whats up.
