4000W Grow Room Set-up

Welcome to my 4000W Grow Room(s)

Here I run a perpetual harvest SoG. I am using a top-drip hydro set-up.
All lights are 1kw on 6' light rails. Sit down, strap in and enjoy. RIU members get to be the only people besides myself and my one "in case of emergency" mate (should I be in an accident or have a stroke or something-god forbid) to ever see my op.

Lot's of trial and error, still has a long way to go before its complete--in fact I have some semi-major adjustments already in the works.

Thought you guys might like an inside look.


This is a close up inside the mum corral. They are under an air-cooled 1kw Mh with a 6' Light Rail on an 8x4 tray, top drip and hydroton grow medium.
Hard to see much of the room set-up.



The Clone Zone.....96w floro, 2-2 tray horticultural heatmats, rapid rooters and good ol' humidomes



Here is a close up of some 6 day old clones....i usually see roots in 7-10 days..

I will post a few pics of the flower room shortly

I will leave you with a sneak preview of the flower room and a bud the size of a milk carton.......lol.

Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. members. I will post alot more detail tomorrow. With lots of bud porn!

Here is a close up of Tray#1-Flower Days 1-20



Here is the biggest top of a retired mum....whoa momma!!



....And here is a wide shot.....please excuse the mess....I am in the process of finishing the framing on a 2'deep cavity between my op and my living space that when packed with insulation and a soundproof wall covering will eliminate the last bit of hum and water noise that can occasionally be heard if it is quiet in the rest of the house.



Thanks for checking it out.

Thanks BC

BC huh?-hope that stands for my favorite ski destination in N.America

Don't know yield per lamp yet-just started harvesting my first crops from the first full tray which is finishing over a 30 day period because of different flowering times and different start dates from running trials on 7 different strains in order to find the right few for me. So they will be finishing from now till the end of December

The next 2 trays will be ready in full on 12/31/08 and 1/17/09 respectively. I will be able to get an accurate average at that point.

Thanks for checking it out

That looks absolutely incredible, props to he who is old in the way. Looks like someone had a plan and some cash to execute as well. Nice grow bro.

I couldn't keep it a secret any longer after some newbie was chastising me about some advice I was offering yesterday.

Here are some Skunk#1 that will finish around Christmas. Now thats a Happy Holiday.

Sorry the pic wasn't rotated correctly. Ain't it pretty though.......

Here is one end of Flower Tray#3-Days 40-Harvest......A few of these were properly abused during a couple early learning curves and an aerocloning fiasco back in September. All in all most have come through nicely and are getting quite chunky!!



See what I mean....thats a fat top!


This is Flower Tray #2-Days 20-40
These are on Day 18-a little ahead of schedule for Tray#2


i will continue to post more info on equipment and construction over the next several days--just giving the 25cent tour to introduce everyone here at RIU to my little wonderland.

Feel free to give feedback or inquire about any pertinent and well researched info..Thanks all.

And as Al B. once said to me........Grow baby grow!

Some of the Unsung Heroes of my op.............


Such as my electrician who wired up 6-240V outlets on 2-30amp breakers.........Safety First stoners



My favorite toy.....controls exhaust/cooling equipment. Keeps it 74 and sunny all day (well 74 anyway) Can't give this thing credit for making it sunny, ya know!

-Notice the CATV/Data/Voice jacks in the background....all wired for security cams, heat alarms, and cable so I can watch my CNBC and BBCAmerica while working.......that will be going in Jan09'

This little beauty controls the water pump in a 120 unit Aeroponics unit I use for a 4-7 day Veg Phase before I flower.


This shot shows off some must have such as the wall mount fans, my intellirails, IR Block, and everyones favorite.......mylar!
Tray #1


Tray#2

Hope everyone likes the cannaporn so far....stick around it will continue to get better........
