I was still posting from the phone until this current post. I just sat down in bed finally and turned on the wireless hot spot so I could post form the computer. The connection isn't very fast, but doesn't need to be for RIU most of the time so it works ok. I took some pics of the new room, but can't upload them till I am on a real connection.
It was a productive day, even though I got a late start and had to work late on things, I felt like I got a good bit done. The table still needs to be un-leveled....it doesn't lean any which direction so I need to give it a slant so it drains well. I'm prolly just gonna stick a piece of 1/4 in ply wood under the back legs and call it good. I hand watered the flowering girls with some liquid karma and calmag in the water. The water at this house might be pretty decent, it tested at only 180 ppm, which is alittle more then half what my old house had (around 350). It was still pretty high PH, but not as bad as the other house either. With the stuff I added it bumped the ppm up to 550, and lowered the ph some, but not quite all the way. Once I am adding my full set of nutes, I bet the PH will be almost perfect, which also makes me tempted to try the ph perfect nutes. With my old water I had question if they would actually work cus it was so out of wack.
I set up the tray, and res though I didn't fill it yet. I was able to leave the actual lid on the res this time, I built the table to be about an inch taller then the top of the res. I'm gonna put a hole in the lid to run the hoses through but other wise it will be very light proof, and stay nice and cool all the time
. I put up panda film along the 2 walls closest to the table, one is only a few inchs away the other about a foot. I tried to put it as close to the one wall as possible to maximize the reflection back on the plants. There are 6 large cabinets on the wall of the room. I split the veg and flower room to allow a cabinet in both sides
.
Oh so the ventilation is gonna be awesome I think. I mounted my duct fan into the wall between the 2 rooms, and there is a 2 foot piece of ducting between the fan and the cold air return I tapped into for my exhaust. I pulled that ducting nice and snug to allow smooth air flow. On the other side of the wall/fan there is only going to be about 10-12 inchs of ducting going into the light, and only another 10-12 inchs at the most going into the carbon filter at the other end. Its gonna flow so smooth I almost hope it doesn't pull to much air. If that happens its a great excuse to add a duct muffler after the fan
. I'll have the light hung tomorrow and we'll see how it handles things. The intake to the room is just going to be passive. There are a couple spots I left "openings" that won't allow light in but will pass air. I'll have my oscillating fan, as well as a new air circulation fan going in the flower room. I'm hoping that all that will prevent any mold issues. I'm also having some work done to the gutter which will greatly help dry things up I think. Its not as wet as my last basement at all, but the moisture does come in near my room this time which sucks. I've got the dehumidifier running outside the room which is helping alot, and I'm also gonna dry lock some of the walls to try to seal things up a bit.
Well I'm done rambling I think, theres prolly more to say but I'm falling asleep typing tonight. Hope everyone else is doing well. I can't wait to show you guys the new room I'm pretty stoked about it. Oh ya I chopped both Cindys that were ready. They had been in almost complete darkness since saturday, with out any water either. Saturday was day 52 from 12/12 so they actually went 55 days from 12/12. That is still a few days shorter then last time, and it got a bunch of dark time so we'll see if the smoke is any different. I also had to chop a strawberry that the top molded a bit on. It had been in the back of one of the totes and I guess got wet. The strawberry nugs are super dense in the first place so it was a bad combo. But there was honestly still a pretty nice amount of bud on it that was completely clean.
Ok good night for real this time
