Ok i finaly got a camera so im gonna get this started off with a bunch of pics .

Right now i am running 1400w's of MH 1x1000 and 1x400 Still vegging.

I will be adding 2x400w hps to the mix for flowering .

I am using just the foxfarm nutes and have the ionic as backup . I am adding 1/2 cup of growbig and 1/4 cup big bloom (every other feed) to 25gal water . Ph is at between 6-7 after nutes are added. takes about 18 gallons to water the lot lol

My soil mix is.
(1) 2.8cf bag sun grow to (1) 1.0cf bag of foxfarm premium select with earthworm castings and guano. With some "Crop circles" Coconut scrapings or whatever there coconut .

Strains are

Train wreck
Kevorkian
2 Really purple strains (One almost black)(One more pinkish)
And a few i cant recall atm .

Here are the pics i may edit this to better explain my setup and equipment.

Thanks peeps. Im just hoping i have enough light . If i add anymore my temps will be hard to controll. Im trying to hold off till i can get another 450cfm fan I may have to live with a few smaller ones . I also need to get the balasts out of the room . That 1000w'er puts off some MAD heat. I just have to get around to re-wiring it .

Its my own personal heaven tho. I sit in there when im cold and its like summer

Actually i sit in there allot . More than is probably normal lol.

Thanks for the comments. Criticism, And suggestions welcome.

ME TOO!

are you bringing fresh air into the room from another room?
i had fans blowing around in my room and it kept everything from burning but then i put a fan blowing in the room from outside and my plants are always reaching for the light now it seemed to make a difference

At the moment its passive . It pulls air from the basement around it . The carbon scrubber creates a nice vacuum in there and i have a duct ran for heat/central air.

Few questions. Do you think im running enough light? I can add a 400w hps or 2 .

Also should i suspend the carbon filter on the ceiling? ATM i don't have smell issues. I have it running for 15 minutes every hour.
But is it really better in your opinions to have it hung high?

I would like to say WHAT UP to all the people stopping by from ATS. Enjoy and stick around cause i have more pics coming .

Mindless · #10 03-21-2008, 01:24 PM

No love? Do i have to get more pics of my budding baby up ? I guess it has been 10 days. And they are showing allot of new growth . I will try to get pics up asap. Comments anyone?

Btw. I added a 400w hps . So i now have a 1000w MH | a 400w MH | And a 400w HPS running .

Temps are staying at around 82. topping out at 84. And 79 at the lowest . So far so good . May need a portable AC unit tho when it gets warmer if my central air don't cover it .

Got all but one clone potted. Just dont think i have the space for the little bugger. Was hoping it would get warm enough to drop it in the woods . But it looks like a few months till warmth comes :/
