Strap in should be along grow.

First we will start with my 5x4x8 room i built.
2x4x8 studs framed 24oc screwed into original wall for easy removal. drywalled and taped/mudded, primed. didnt tape to wall or ceiling for easy removal as well.
Added some AC/Heat floor ducts into the wall for the intake and exhaust. 6inch duct fan as exhaust. 4inch duct fan for intake. with some duct running right to the AC unit.
Temps stay around 82 and lower inside the room. 40ish humidity.
I cant find the picture but. I also turned the Exhaust Vent into a filter. i lined the inside with scotch brite and filled with active carbon.
No light leaks in or out of this room.

Then we got a picture of some bag seeds i just germinated and planted. they sprouted with in 12 hours of being planted. Sept 30 Sprout.

Now we have a Clone i took off my last female plant. Started in water but i was haven some problems. She was in flowering but now i have the option to bring it back to veg. shes been back in veg for about 2 weeks now.

And a few pictures of my light set up and how i built the inside of the door out abit to seal it for light tight.

Fafard Soil 75% Top Soil, 15% compose, 10% peat moss, Mixed 60/40 perlite
Schultz Plant food 10-15-10 (want to get something better), Schultz Bloom Plus 10/54/10

11 or 12 days old. still have not watered the clone once in idk amonth... its getting real dry how ever and i may water later today or 2moro. as you can tell the clones cola's are starting to turn back into branches and starten new growth finaly. most of the leaves that where on the plant in the picture in the last post are now gone and everything is new.
i need to come up with something better to use as a reflector. that mounts easy.

they dont look healthy? i thought they looked amazing. The clone has been a mess. it started in bubbleponic and the water got messed up hard and it was in flowering. now its recovering in soil and going back to veg. hence why it looks like a mess. but the seedlings are main concern clone is w/e
Im only feeding the clone water atm untill it covered abit more

Oct - 28
Farfard Professional Grade Potting soil.(no time release feed) Foxfarm isnt local to me :-/
4 Of the 8 are now transplanted. i underestimated how much soil i would need and didnt pick up enough. Will get more sometime soon. the seedlings not transplanted are stressing hard.
I have not had to water them yet the soil from the bag was damn moist and it just doesnt need water yet. when i do feed them i will be giving them all 1/2 strength 10-15-10 shultz. Also notice the Clone is starten to recover from being in Flowering. its abit fucked up looking but it might make it. I (just) fed the clone 1/2 stregth

Comments are very welcome lets get some activity in here. Im all for ideas on how to mount my lights better w.o causing alot of dmg

poor clone. its been fighting so hard to come back to life. i actualy think i got my first 3 fan leaf. for the past month it only keeps giving me the single 1 leaf deal. you will notice some dead looking leaves taken on a rusty color kinda. those are all the original leaves from the buds slowly stretching out getting bigger and dieing off. i keep meaning to do alittle lst on that clone think it might help if u notice its got 4 arms that are all about the same height now and clumping up the top.

Bit of a update on 3 of the plants. 4th is looking just as good just harder to get out. Planning to feed full strength nutes for first time next feeding then going to let them dry and start 12/12.

If i had to guess i would say those are different strains. those plants look very differant

well 3/4 nutes was to much i think.... at least for 1 of them so far. once i have a camera i will take updated pictures to confirm to much nutes

Edit: make that 2 of them.

each plant drank 1/2 gallon of water 3/4 nutes in 2 days. they are just about dry ima give it 1 more day then give them just water again. these are getting big and i want to start flowering. ugh i was so stoked there was no dmg at all so far :-/

Edit : wow... just looked Temps where at 115 some how in there. doesnt make sense i have a 4inch intake fan pulling direct from outside where it is 40 degrees. and then a 4inch exhaust going to the attic. highest it has ever gone was 98 in this closet and that was in summer... changed nothing wow...
5x4x8 room

i really dont understand how u guys use these hps lights and mh's im only usen cfls and heat seems to still be a major issue

alright well i tested my intake and exhaust.
At the entrance of the intake its 44 degrees.
At the Exit of intake 70 degrees (just inside the room) im losen 26 degrees over a 6ft of ductwork.
4ft over under the cfls its 109 degrees atm. with 2 fans on ground pointing up to blow the heat from the lights up and not onto the plants. along with 1 16" oscillating fan.... testing the exhaust temps now.

Ideas? Comments? Are Very Welcome.
Still very little activity in these forums.. :-(
