hii. well. this is what we got here
5.5 ft X 3ft vegetation space under a 400W metal halide. 4 foot tall.
Avg grow room temp b/w 25 deg Celcius (77 F) and 26 deg Celcius (80 F)
Inlet airflow at 20 C (68 F) maintained by a 300CFM exhaust fan pulling airconditioned air through an inlet from the adjecent room(which is a growroom for different plants)
the air conditioned air actually cools the lights radiated heat which is something id like to change very soon into a water chilled system with heat exchangers. so i blow echaust air out right now at about 30 C (86 F). maintain humidity arround 50% RH.
there is no CO2 enrichment at the moment eventhough the entire system is a closed one in which aircinditioning is the only fresh air inlet.
insulated nutrient reservoirs @ 16 C (61 F) to 20 C (68 F) - ill post up my nutrient info as we move further into this process.
the environment was tested on a few regular seeds picked of the regular shwag from some nearby village. . mature seeds none the less. and so i have included pictures of the test plants that were grown out from germinated seed in seven days....germination took 3 days......seed to plant 10 days......one of them came up with some brown spots on one of its leaves.....seems to me some developmental problem related to nutrition or lighting like a burn of some sort (check imagename weakling).. .ones still seedling ....the rest seem to be fine with two going strong......i have moved them out though because the genetics are not worth it. also it would be cool id y'all could tell from these images weather the young ones look stretchy.....ill adjust my lighting better for the good genetics also i want to turn the lights off for germination
today i put in 10 Belladona (paradise seeds) 1 reserva privada coletrain and 1 sourcream both DNA genetics between paper towels and sprayed them with distilled water and with a littlebit of trichoderma and pseudomonas in it - the water pH'd 7 with 3ppm dissolved solids and 25 C (77F). Each seed sits in its own petridish and all the dishes sit in a flat that sits on a seedling heat mat connected with a thermostat that maintaines the seeds at 25 C (77F).
a chiller water cooled flowering rack is under construction and waiting for a few days to go buy a chiller..some plumbing and heat exchanging coils.....with tank based pressure released CO2...want to run 2 600W osram HPS lamps. got me a month to come up with all this and its looking good.
the whole system runs on a very loud fucked up power generator(which is also something i hope to replace soon)
hope all goes well
ive wanted to do this for really long and now i fanaly have a chance to
will keep up posts of nutrition and growing medium
