Redesigning Grow Any Advice Appreciated

Hey all.. I've been at this for 2 grows using very basic instructions and I'm beginning to think it's time to take a break to redesign and rethink it.

I have an 11'2" x 10'10" room with ceilings slightly higher than 7' and absolutely no windows. All the walls are painted with a slightly glossy slightly off white paint. The floor contains blue patterned industrial carpet squares. I've modeled my room in the picture below. Beyond wall "A" is the laundry room. I thought about possibly chosing this wall to vent through. However beyond wall "B" is a closet/ the underside of the stairs.



I've been using a 1000w HPS for flowering. I use a 4'(W)x6'(T)x1.5'(D) shelf mounted with 8 42w CFLS on one shelf for veg, and 2 25w T8s on the top shelf for clones. As for now this shelf is in another room because my HPS and fans take up most of my 15A.

As for the plants themselves I am growing bagseed in promix using Botanicare Pureblend Pro nutes. However, I have only been using the grow, bloom, and sweet nutes. ( I realize it doesn't affect the taste.)


My basic feeling as of now is that I am not utilizing my resources to their fullest extent. I would also like to ease into aeroponic/hydroponic growing and would love to start a perpetual grow. I would also like to make everything fit into one room to make it easier to conceal. I will eventually be ordering seeds but as of now I am having trouble cloning. I will be making this https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/212657-all-one-diy-aero-cloner.html cloner. Hopefully this will increase my success rate. I would like to create the other aero systems for veg and flower eventually also.

Any ideas you could swing past me given my space and intentions would be great. Any product/upgrade ideas would be appreciated. My basic aim is to use my light and space more efficiently. I'm sure there is an abundance of details I've left out. If needed I can answer them. If there is anything you can think of that I may have left out please just ask. I am willing to provide you with as much info as you need to help. (Except of course where I live, etc lol.)

kiss-assThanks to all in advance and happy harvesting!

I dont see the picture but I will toss some ideas your way. The first thing I would do is get ventlation to the flower room. You need to run at least a 4 in duct maybe with a booster fan. Maybe through the floor or the laundry room but you want air from outside.

Is it possible to change the breaker to a 20A?

I have been sucessful growing in small spaces and have made journals with details and pics you may find useful. (links in my sig)
Now I am trying my hand at aeroponics. I think that may be your answer, that and screening the canpoy to get the most out of your lighting.

A simple perpetual cycle I do is to take clones from the plants right before flower and root/veg them the eight weeks it takes to flower and do it again. Harvest every other month.

Check it out.

I have no idea how to increase amperage capacity other than converting to 240v but that is still theoretical, meaning that I have no idea how to actually do it I just know that it will increase AMP capacity. That would be incredibly helpful to do though.

As for my picture, how does one insert a picture? I uploaded it to my profile in an album and used the picture button and inserting the url from my album pic. Is this incorrect? I'll try it again..

One major thing I've been worried about is my feeding schedule. I now realize I've never added any cal or mag or other trace elements. I also do not check pH as of now because every pH tester I buy is a piece of shit and doesn't work anymore. I'm planning on getting another one soon that won't break. Any advice as to what else to use would be awesome. I feel like I'm not giving the plants everything they need. They don't look bad or anything just not 100%.

Uh.. Anybody? I wanted to try lollipopping also.. Any websites anybody could give me to read up on what I'm doin or a good direction to take my setup given my space and power would be great too. I'm all about reading up on this.
