Yeah, I know heat's gonna be the main issue, but those portables only have to work through 1 or 2 crops, then we'll be runnin a commercial size A/C.

As long as I can keep my heat below 85, I'll be happy, and the plants will do just fine, especially with Co2 enrichment.

If I don't end up respondin to everyone, I apologize in advance. I'm real busy right now, and time is short!!!

I do appreciate and welcome all comments though!!:peace:

What up everyone!!!

Okay, so I started a thread related to this in the Growroom Design & Setup, but since it's all starting to come together, I figured I'd start a new thread here in the Indoor forum to document the whole thing.

Thank's to everyone that visited my other thread!!

So, we're gonna be runnin 10,000 watts of HPS, Co2, A/C, probably goin with Canna products now instead of A.N.

We're doin around 30 plants, 3 plants per 3x3 tray, 10 gallon Smart Pots, Roots Organic soil mix.

We're runnin water through a Stealth R/O filter into two 50 gallon drums. We'll probably use a pump and wand and water by hand initially. I don't really have the time, resources, or inclination to go fully automated at this point, but that will probably be the plan for future crops.

The growing space has been framed in at 13.5'W x 28'L x 12'H. OSB outer walls, sheetrock inner walls covered with panda paper.

The room will essentially be sealed. No fresh air in, just venting the hoods. Temps will ( hopefully ) be maintained by two 14,000 BTU portable dual-hose A/C units.

Co2 will be supplied by a Hydrogen 2nd generation water-cooled generator. There's a ppm monitor that is made for the Hydrogen, so it will either be that, or a CAPS ppm monitor maintaining levels.

All the lights will be running off 220 volt, everything else 110 volt. We put in a new service panel with one 50 amp breaker and one 30 amp breaker, both @ 220 volt, and two more 20 amp breakers @ 110 volt, to go with the 3 existing 20 amp 110 volt breakers already in place. So I think we'll be fine on power!!

Odor will be controlled by a Can-filter 150 runnin with a 12" Max-fan.

We'll be runnin a local dank strain to start out with, then we'll probably pop up to Van., B.C. to pick up some select strains for future runs.

Any suggestions on a good indoor high-yield, but also high quality strain?

I know everything isn't gonna be perfect, and there are gonna be numerous upgrades and tweakin this and that, but over time I hope to have this shit runnin like clockwork. Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goal is to have some shit like Mblaze, and hopefully pull an elbow + per plant. So that means probably a 4 month cycle. 6-8 weeks of veg to get 'em nice and big, and about the same for flowering.:weed:

So, this will be my humble attempt to supply myself and a few others with top quality meds.

Wish me luck my friends!!!!!!!!!!!:peace:

Oh yeah, i just gotta warn ya, I love takin pictures, so there will be a shitload of them as this project moves along!!!!

Also, just in case someone catches it, yeah, I know the sheetrock isn't hung " properly ". My friend got a little over-zealous and started hangin and bangin while my back was turned!!! Whatever, it'll be fine, especially since we're just coverin it with panda paper.

Just tryin to forestall any of the people that just like to criticize and pick out little shit!! You know the people I'm talkin about!!!! I respect their opinions, as long as they're kept to themselves!!!! Hahaha

LOL DAMN DO I have suggestions but they stink and the smell is hard to get rid of. Trainwreck X Kush , Orginal Gangsta Cush, Elephant Bud from BC Bud I heard was good.Bubblgum X Trainwreck Stay along the Kush lines.. Stinkier the better..lol peace out Headband 707

thats alot of watts for what your planning dont think all of it is necessary
What up Ghost.............you know, it's funny...............I have some people telling me I don't have enough lumens, and others telling me I have too much. :confused:

So who's right?

The reality is, there are a million and one ways to grow weed, and there is no " perfect " method and no " right " way, just what works for people and their plants.

I've picked my shit, and now I gotta run with it, dig?

Thank's for stoppin by!!:peace:

Personally I believe 10,000 is a lot of light, I just hope it can penetrate the canopy. Only time will tell. I'm an aeroponic, SOG grower so this is completely out of my area of expertise. I wish you the best of luck.

Holy shyte!! Now your my hero!! Haha!!

Yeah, riz, heat man.............I was just using a 12,000btu Sunpentown and literally burned it up trying to push the exhaust out through a filter as it started stinking in the heat last week(7'x11'room)...............the two hosed ones are the shit, one line is intake and one exhaust: the air never comes in contact with the room air and if you can keep the hoses short and straight<----the better they work........ I just got one of the $550 unit from a hydro shop and it's 12 or 14,000btu and way over-kill for my current 1800wts--I dont vent the lights yet. I tried everything and didn't realize these existed and posted my probs here-nobody said about the dual hoses, go figure.

With Co2 you'll be good but look into the mini-splits---they are the REAL shit! Those and 'Movin Cool' portables for if you ever move your op.

I've been watching your ourdoor shit, had no idea you were serious about the indoors, haha! Launch date yet?

Well, your gonna have fun in there, that's for sure!

Greatest of luck to you and +rep if I didn't already!!
