Uploading pictures.

Nice spot! What kind of gear you going to run?

I'll follow along!

You plan on insulating the floor for where the plants are sitting? I know my concrete gets cold as shit at night and seems to slow my girls down.

How many girls do u plan on growing??

About a pound...

whats up guys been working on gettin everything together. i need to have my buddy come by and wire my up 4x220V outlets for my ballasts i wana run em on one circuit all at 220 cause my garage only has a 60a panel. and i need to save some to run my air compressor and tools.

@ berad dont have any strains lined up gonna be running multiple i have a few friends that are gonna supply me with some teens and clones, ill make more clones from there to fill the space if it isnt already.

@giggles. im probably just gonna raise the floor with pallets to keep em off the concrete. works well for a couple of friends & i dont know wther to be offended or not but a lb??? from 4 lights? im looking at closer to 4 brotha.hopefully more. this isnt my first bbq so hopefully with planning theres enough food for everyone.. ya know?

ill be able to run 36 plants in 5 g pots if i stick to 9 plants per light i feel like thats plenty of spacing for the size plants that i want.
ill get some progress pics up in a few

Haha bro I said about a pound to the guy asking how many plants you were running. It was a joke, I have 3 lights and pull almost a lb a light so yea it was only a joke. No reason to get offended.

LMAO GIGGLES, no offense taken brotha i just wanted to clarify for everyone that may be lurking around. that 1# would be a disaster...lol no sweat I have seen you around RIU for awhile and im glad to have ya aboard.

I have to get a ac myself I vinyl got my first 1k up and it's hitting 91 for the high and 68 for the low I was only ganna get a 6500 but do you think that won't be enough to keep my garage cool? I have tents in there so I'm thinking make the ambient temp 70 and the tents shouldn't rise over 80

Heres some progress. still need to run ducting hang exaust fans, hang reflectix on all the walls, wire up 4x220v outlets,

My houses wiring is old. mid 40-50's, it has a 60a fuse panel in the garage. so im good for power but i want some new wiring done on romex with 110V & 220v (for my heavy duty stuff ballasts) cause they run at lower amps that way i can safely pull more electricity for my grow and save some space in the panel currently theres no 220v in the garage. My 1k ballast's @ 110V runs 10.5Amp but at 220v only runs 5.4Amp.


right & left side

right side shop area



2x1000's and 2x600's

1000 & 600 up still need to get 2 more up and walls lined



FTP

heres a pic of my fuse box. seems a TON simpler than a new style sub panel/Breaker box. but im confused whyy it has breakers above it. they are labeled at 15a/15a/15a/20a wich is wierd because the fuses below are rate for 30a each. 60 total?? and opinion/ ideas?


replaced the old two 30A fuses with new bussman 30A slowblow fuses
heres a pic of behind the breaker switch that is above the fusebox not sure if its safe to delete this littl breaker box and run my new 220/110 romex out of the 60a fusebox or if i should delete all of it and add a new 100a subpanel. i really dont want to spend the casd on the second untill i plan on expanding in here

whats the high and low ambient temps right now?

im not sure if that portable unit i have will be enough but i have a 5K btu window AC i can use too. Those together should be enough, where im at in cali is Mediterranean weather, i think the record high is like 95 or something lol. so with that being said i run my 12/12 cycle from 6pm to 6am give or take maybe 8pm to 8am depends when it gets dark outside thats when my indoor lightcycle starts it really helps cause its cool outside. not amazing by anymeans but it is efficent.

Sounds like we are in the same place I'm in southern Cali kinda costal so real mild weather the ambient temps are around 70 to 75. I'm thinking ac and small 4 inch booster fan for each yet pumping the colder air In?

Ambient temps are closer to 80 probley when the tent hits 91

Subbed!

if thats the casethen yeah bringing the temps down in the garage would more than likely work. id give that a try.. check Craigslist in the appliances section theres alot of ac units for sale where i live coause nobody needs em.. just open a window any your fine.
