Balls Out First Grow(Whie Widow Scrog, 430w Son Agro Aircooled, DWC, CO2)

Alright, saw you in a couple other threads I'm subscribed to, and had to come see what's up. Nice job on your room there! I was just thinking, though we know what all that stuff is for, how much it looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. lol

What's up integra. Holy Shit man... you have such a bad ass setup. I'm in love. I must confess I only read from the mini update on... so I'll have to catch up later, but I'm so down with the new room. Did you win the lottery or something? I want all that stuff for next round.

Anyways... I'll be around now... hope that's ok. Looking forward to actually looking at your journal now.

Thanks for the heads up over on wonders thread. I never would have made it here otherwise.

Sick new setup, kiddo - need to keep me updated with how that Hydrogen works out for you.

Also, assuming you're running propane tanks, or did you tap into the natural gas line?

Hey jig, glad you found your way here. I have been watching your room for a couple of weeks, and Been lovin it, so no I guess its my turn to return the favor. Didnt win the lotto, just had a good tax return. The whole upgrade cost $3100.00, which is definetly some cash, but not that much considering what I upgraded to. If you find the time to make it through the rest, people seem to always enjoy it, there are a ton of pics and details on how the room has evolved.

Yeah, Running propane. I am wondering already though if I should have ordered the regular hydrogen, the mini is nice, but it takes about 4 min. for the initial fill, and kicks on every couple of minutes. Almost seems like it is struggling to keep up in my little room. But I might have an air leak I need to fix, because once it turns off, it drops from 1500 to 1400 in about 1-2 minutes. I'll keep you updated on what i figure out. otherwise it does run completly cool, i was actually impressed by that.

Nice setup man! Looks real good. What are those "manifolds" on the edge of the resavoir? air, water? Looks clean. I got to SCROG it out sometime......

I think your talking about the drain valve on the front right corner? It just a open and close ball valve that I use to drain and fill my tubs. There is also one on the back opposite corner so if I figure out a seperate res I can use, I can set it up for recirculating with a chiller. But I still want to try my poor man's chiller out first which is simply buying a mini-fridge and placing the air pumps in it and wrapping the air lines with pipe insulation till they reach the tub. Now Im not expecting a miracle from that, but if I can just get the res temps down 5-7F, it will be well worth it. And thanks for the compliments. I try to keep the setup as clean as possible, just because I like to sit in there a lot, and it would bug the crap out of me if it looked like I threw it together over night. I'm still fairly confident that I could tear the whole room down in 20 min, if I had to.

And finally, the much anticipated udate after the rooms update. Been working hard for 2 week now. Completely stripped the room bare. Sprayed the whole place down with organicide and then an hour later with 1:4 ratio of bleach water. Rewrapped the whole room in panda film, then did around the screen in Lightning film. Put in a 12,000btu portable dual house ac/heater. Havent had to use it yet. Installed a Hydrogen miniGen and water cooled it with drain to waste, and hung the 2 600w's with a 6" canfan and used SuperSun 2 reflectors hooked to a dual 600w lumatek balast. Running the same dwc tubs I have always, but now there is 2. Just Put in the 3 larger Blue Kush clones I had into the left side of the screen and in the next few days, I will be putting 6 small Blue Kush clones in the right. The Screen is 3'x8'. Any questions about the build, feel free to ask, and now onto the goods.....

Blue Kush: Day 1
Rm Temp: 84F
Res Temp: 75F
RH: 37%
CO2PPM: 1500
Nute PPM: 1080
PH: 5.95

Now that is a badass setup dude, really great work
Clean and organized just the way it should be
Those super sun 2 reflectors are nice as hell, I was looking at them a while back
I don't know what type of airstones you are using but I recently picked up a micro pore diffuser and let me tell you they are nice as shit
They are much more sturdier than a regular air stone and will supposedly last forever. The bubbling is super fine too, really small bubbles
If you have anymore money to spend I would def look into these, here is a link: http://www.wormsway.com/results.aspx?t=prod&search=micro pore&cat=all&AC=1

yo integra nice new set up !!!!+rep

Thanks tom. I defietly like the reflectors. Just simple things make them so nice like the angled reflector at the ends but more so that the glass is attached to a metal frame and that the fram is hinged so cleaning the glass and bulb changes are as simple as it gets. didn't even know that when I ordered them. Those air stones are nice, I have been looking at them for a while, they were in the original budget, but when I started adding all of the things I forgot I needed for the rebuild, they got cut with a few others, leave in ph/pph meters for example. I'm sure I will add both somewhere in the near future when some cash gets freed up.

hey teg, new setup is really nice.. you still got all those other strains from before, like the White Widow and the mango? how did you like those and have you tried this strain? by like i mean the growing and the smoke too..

Thanks, I think it's pretty nice too. I do still have all of the strains in one form or another. At the moment, Piss is the only full size mother I have. I am currently growing new moms from clones of the Blue Kush and White Widow. Poped freash beans of the Mango, Blue Mystic and Mazar, but only the Mango survived.Going to wait till the flower room is a few weeks in and try again on the Mazar and Blue Mystic. As far as the smoke goes, the Mango is great. Over the last week or so, it has lost a little bit of its fruity smell and is taking on more of a weed smell, and has a nice balance of stone and high and still has a taste I still cant quite describe. Very unique. The outdoor Piss was great. Somewhat of a legend with me and my friends. I have smoked the Blue Kush before and it is some of the best weed I have ever smoked, but Have not successfully grown it yet, but all of that is going to be fixed in a couple of months. Still really want to get the few new strains I've had piced out for a while, but spent all of my money upgrading the room. If I can get them sexed and ready in time, the next round will be Mango and Mazar, but only time will tell.

sounds great integra im scribed!!!

Always great to have another on board. I will try to put an update up later with the veg room. Hopefully the other clones will be in flower by monday.

That's one sexy effin grow. How was the bud density?

Density varried. Mango was fairly dense, but not as dense as the widow. With these new 600's, hoping for real dense.

Hi Integra, once again very impressed.

You seem to have thought of everything this round. I hadnt seed the Hydrogen miniGen before. Sounds like although it takes a few minutes to get going its doing the job just fine. Very nice man. When the ppms drop frow 1500 to 1400 right away had you considered the fact CO2 is heaver than air and placement of your meter may have something to do with it?

I've seen those dual ballasts. Im considering one myself but I dont like the fact that if I had problems with it both lights are out. Looks like about a 20% savings vs. buying two though. BTW, do you notice any static on your phone or trouble with satilite signal (like direct tv) while its on? I hear they fixed that on the new ones.

I hope you dont mind all my questions, its just that you just did what I been wanting to do.
The CO2 in such a small area. Whats your cubic footage and cycle?

I found with my thermostat set at 86° My cab kept exhausting the co2.
