damn man 103? :o
seems like 24,000 btu's would be more than enough for 3 lights especially since you dont have the ballasts in there

plants are looking happy and healthy tho ;-)

Turns out 1 of my ACs was blowing out more hot air then cold...... Haven't had a chance to blow out the radiator, but I switched it off and temps were at 85...... switched it to dehumidfy and temps went a tad lower...... My air cooled hoods have a terrible duct with many turns and 20 feet long all together..... and only 400 and someodd CFMs..... I will be adding a fan and retracting an AC and firing up room B if it all works out.....

I am actual legal from the state more than I am growing.... Damn city ordinances...... But its ok.... I am making due with what I have and eventually I will hopefully be growing/ living in a commercial zoned area....... Its all good... Sounds like I may be in your neck of the woods in November.......

Just to add on, I never let temps stay at 103, I always did some sort of extreme measures to drop the down to the 80's if not lower, but is not what I planned for a turnkey grow.....

knew you'd get it figured out. I just hate that feeling you get when you check your temps and you know its hot before you even read it but then almost shit when you see just how hot it got haha. but sounds like you got it all situated now.

so you're taking one of the 12k btu ac's and putting it into a second bloom room or a veg room?

I hear ya, unfortunately I work 60 + hours a week right now, so I don't have a lot of time for trial and error. The 2nd portable will go in an identical room as the one going now... I am not in any hurry, and don't need to be spending a ton more money into this grow right now, so I am just gonna see how it goes.... Vegroom is tiny, gonna have to add some 400w lamps into the flowering rooms that I can use to veg in there for an extra week or so under some extra light....


Damn wonder, look at you man. nice work and the room looks great! scribes rep and all that shit lol
Good to see you my friend. I really need to take pics of my irrigation system and get that up herer.

So yesterday I went to go buy $150- 200 of Advanced Nutrients.... I ended up with 2.5 gallon jugs of Bloom A and B, And liters of the rest..... Bud Candy, Big Bud, Cal Mag Bloom. Forgot the Voodoo Juice and the Overdrive.... Ended up buying an 8" fan, duct, clamps, and a reducer....
Swapped the fan in the window for an 8" and am using the 6" at the opposite end of the grow room, pushing air through the lights, and the 8" pulling it through.... I ran 8" duct all the way to the hood and then the reducer there... So over all, there is almost 1200 CFMS going through the lights..... Hope it helps.....

Also I sealed up my irrigation system, which I would like to document..... here or in a different thread.... Maybe a DIY, If I feel like it today......

Here are a few pics of some new additions.... Notice the 8" fan now in the window and the 6" blowing through the hoods..... I have started Putting Panda up in Room B (door is framed in already..) Unfortunately I made the room smaller after a plumbing problem, thus making easy access to the hot water heater..... Hence the Hallway with the resavoirs and ballast etc.....

Buds are starting to form, I think today marks about 10 days in.....I will have to go back and look..... Looking forward to how they grow now that things are under control.

Irrigation system
55 gallon white drum in aerated water, with PVC / 1/4 dripline irrigation system in there.
20 gallon sump pump basin is the nutrient mix. 1" sump pump, coil hose and watering wand.

Fed today:

AN Bloom A & B: 7.5ml/ gallon(Each)
Bud Candy: 7.5ml/gallon
SensiCal MG: 8ml/gallon
FF Open Sesame(soluble): 1/4tsp/ gallon

Yea, I throw that on sometimes when I am alone down there, walking down the tight crowded hallways of my basement.... Good for pictures too.....

nice. how did those 2 fans work? bring the temps down at all?
Yea man, it really helped.... I would only say the reason for be that I have long duct work and some unavoidable bends.... I would never stack high cfm fans within close together or there may be issues... . I am gonna light up room 2 with vertical lighting, save a little cash on hoods.... Probably only 2 lights to avoid these heat issues.... Kinda tempted to try moving the 6" fan down to the 90 degree bend to help it there, rather than push it to it... Anyway its working well now and temps are ideal at around 78.. I also put the fans on a seperate timer to turn on 5 minutes before lights, to get the air flow going..... ACs run via thermostat 24/7.....

Unfortunetly, I am not at the location of the grow for the next few days.. I have a trusted friend and fellow grower staying with them, and treating them like a real lady..... The power has gone out once fortunately during a lights off cycle for the flowering, but a lights on for the veg.... I am sure they are all right.... I may just have to run over and check on them real quick and then continue my journey....

That feeding schedule might get you into trouble..
The AN A+B/Bud Candy ratio should not exceed 2:1
so 8ml/gal A+B = 4ml/ Gal Bud Candy

That's how I did it in my room, and what AN recommends.
