Wonder's Medical Grow: 3KW HPS; Hog & Wonder Woman & Hashberry; 8X8; AC!

Hi all,
It has been a little while since I have been around here. I recently moved and basically started fresh.
I will be using Advanced Nutrients on this round in Flower Room A at least, and possibly in B.

Flowering Room A: 8X8'
(3) 1000w HPS or switchable lights
(3) XtraSun 6" AC
(1) 12,000 BTU Portable AC
(1) 6" fan

First day of 12/12 is today.
This room has 7 plants in it, 1 Hog, 1 Wonder Woman and 7 Hashberries. The Hashberries are in 5 gallon buckets and the Hog and Wonder Woman are in 10 gallon smart pots. All pots are sitting in shallow black 20" X 28" trays.

Flower Room B: 8X8'
Empty at this point, Once I purchase more lamps and hoods, I will be flip flopping the existing 3 ballasts....

Veg Room:
(2) 6 bulb 48" T8 lighting at 6500k
400w MH

Right now I have 6 Wonder Woman and 6 Hog clones in here. I also have a Kandy Kush, AK-47, Trainwreck, and White Widow for future mothers.....

Flower Room Bto be)

Yes, excellent set up! Great Start.... it will all get there, hehe, and by the looks of it, your gunna get there in style . Great to see yah growing,

Good to see you my friend.... All is a compliment. By the way, I read a few of your pieces a few pages back in your journal. I enjoyed them thoroughly. Especially the ones you read from top to bottom and then bottom to top.

I would also like to mention that I have PVC around the room with 1/4" barbs and drip lines. Automatic watering; but manual feeding for now.

very nice man very proffesional and clean, i dig. why is there a plant in a bag?

I dont see what your saying?????? Closest thing to a bag in there is a smart pot

so what kinda yield you think?

wonderblunder seems to me that you have a grasp on what plants want.
Cant wait to see these ladies at the finshline bro. subbed

high and scribed man

I dont know..... I have grown the Wonder Woman before but never the other 2. The Hog and Hashberry came from a close friend and trusted grower, and I have watched him grow them time and time again for some time now..... I have also never used Advanced nutrients, so I dont know if it will be for better or for worse. With some time, effort, and proper care I would be more than happy with a pound a light..... On top of everything, this is a new room that I have never flowered in................. I just have never done anything this big, this method, these products.... anything could happen.... for best or worst, I am ready......
Wonder Woman and Hog are heavy yielders, the Hashberry however, not as much.....

Good to see you.... I am looking forward to seeing how things play out......

Update:

Temps have been a struggle luckily I have a wife who is ready to jump in whenever to keep things going....... I am gone far away many hours a day, which made me realize that I am running the lights at the wrong time, so I will literally never see them...... Plan on changing the On/Off times so I can tend to their needs......
Think I will have to go buy another 6" fan or at the least a booster. Adding the 2nd AC in there as well tomorrow........
None of them have recieved any nutrients yet, and they will begin AN Bloom nutes A and B for starters. Glad I have some help from a friend who uses AN, because my understanding is that you need to know your additives before you get sold 3 products that are basically the same.....

I was gone when the lights turned on and Off, so I will have to take pictures soon..... Have a new camera as well. macro shots and high quality photos..
Thanks all......

lock and loaded brother ..... glad to be backkk

Good to see you my friend...... Keep it going.....

thats what i call doin it right

I feel like strangling someone right now. Nothing is going as it should, I am having heat issues like mad. Despite 24,000 BTUs of AC and 400 cfms of air running through the hood the room keeps getting hotter. 103 right now and I just shut the fucking lights off. I have never had this issue before...... My ACs must be fucked or something........ ACs and lights are vented directly outside and temps outside the grow room in the basement are 75 degrees.......... Something isn't right. Ballasts are outside the grow room, I suppose there is about 10 feet of duct between lights/ AC and the outside vents, but I would think I could at least keep the rooom at 85 degrees with the 400 cfm fan(I know its not ideal, but I figured I could get it going with my 2 portables) I am going to post some pics tomorrow.....
Please tell me what to do...... I am so mad I don't even know what to think......... I know I can go buy 2 more 6" fans and vent each light individually but that seems unnecesary with all the AC, Money isn't an issue, but I don't need to go buy a bunch of shit I don't need right now.......... Please help. much appreciated. much love for all

Did you switch your lighting schedule to lights on at night?
If you did maybe that could help. Also if you have a a/c with 24,00BTU is your room to big to cooler it down. also if you put the a/c on the coolest it can go. its gonna be a waste becuz it cant maintain a the coolestdegree it goes to. put it up a couple degrees so its not working as hard but still maintaining a temp is can maintain at. You might need to vent each light directly outside out outside the grow room.
Im not an expert on this stuff but perhaps buying the stuff you thought was unnessecary, might be needed. also did u put your 2nd a/c in. IF not do it, anf if you did get more ventilation. goodluck. hope i pushd you in direction that you need to get these problems fixed. keep your head up man! youll figure it out!

I am running lights at night, and the second AC make the total 24,000 BTUs, I have blown out the radiators etc, Think I just need to add another fan or 2, my other idea is to run 8" fans reduced to 6" for the hoods, but that would pull a lot more air......

Finnally some pictures. It is coming along, only have 1 light running though, I am frustrated, sounds like I will be adding a fan or two here pretty quick, I didn't really want to do this, but its for the best..... Fed for the first time in their lives, which consist of Advanced Nutrients Bloom part A and B. As well as Fox Farm Open Sesame soluble..... Haven;t had a chance to hookup the RO, but def need to go to some nutrient shopping here pretty quick......

i like this room man.

how you diggin the smart pots?

There are two things that I absolutely must use in my grow room. A 3/4" sub pump w/ watering wand and smart pots. There are times when I will let the roots air prune themselves in veg, but in flower I will put a bed of perlite or hydroton in there. If I get the chance I may end up putting a big circular airstone under the hydroton directly under each smartpot, and once the roots reach start giving them a little alternative feeding by just filling the tray....

The room aint all that yet.... I have an identical one like this that I am gonna flip flop these 3 lights to that room... You can kind of see how Room B is partially built(the door that is framed it but now wall)....

GOod to see you.....
