Heres a little background on highs and lows of my time and money spent in the basement:
I started the first grow at the beginning of last year from bagseed in soil. It got a little out of control but was eventually harvested. I did one more in soil then moved to homemade aero. After success with my aero tubs I got a deal on a 36 site unit which is also when I added the flowering room. I tried White Widow and AK47 in the 36. That had a LOT of issues like duct breaking and 100+degree temps, but was a great learning experience. I have a really hard time cloning so after getting a wimpy first harvest from the 36 I went and bought the aero 60 cloner and am starting from nothing (seed) again hopefully for the last time. I am amazed at how much I have learned over the last year though and I am excited to continue that trend well into the future. Decreasing my work in and increasing my yield out are my goals.
So let's see if I can summarize my grow for you... I am running 2 rooms (technicly 3 since my veg room is split in half) But 1 flower and 1 veg really.
In the veg room:
I have 2 mothers which are a strain called Wonder Woman I think. They are from Nirvana (which I will never buy from again. Out of 40 seeds only 7 were any good. I can be sure it wasn't operator error either since I have never had a problem with growing from seed before) The Mums just recently chopped almost in half because they were getting out of control on me but otherwise doing fine. I also just recently scaled back the nutes for them as the tips were starting to burn. I think I am going to try and see how low I can go and still keep them healthy. And 1 little tiny PPP sprout. It came in a free 10 pack from Nirvana for christmas. I germed 5 and saved 5 and only 1 made it. Also I have all of those WW clones that are waiting to go into the flowering room.
The flowering room:
Right now there are 4 WW about 2 wks into flower under an open 400w. I am attempting some supercropping techniques on 2 of them and they seem to be taking to it well. Otherwise The room is void of plants but does have the Aero 36 site under 2 digi 600w in vented reflectors and (I think it's a CAN60) filter on the intake side of the venting which runs outside. I run Co2 in the room from a large tank connected to a solenoid valve. As an emergency precaution I have a 5000btu a/c unit installed which is connected to a thermostat set at 95 deg (just in case).
Future plans for the flowering room include doubling the lighting setup and building my own tweaked out version of an Aero 60 site. (I really want to get the room to max capacity)
That's it for now. Stay tuned for pics, questions, and comments!
