12k Watts... 16 plants, 25 lbs. Watercooled room.

I'm posting this journal because of the lack of journals on watercooled rooms. You'll have to check the construction journal for specs on the room itself.

The basics in the room are 12,000 watts. EYE dual arc 1000 watt bulbs run on Lumatek Digital ballast. Reflectors are Magnum XXXL. Iceboxes are 8" versions. Agrowtek GC-C computer was used. This was all unchanged until flowering when some contactors had problems and had to be changed.

Temps became more and more of an issue because I was not using a chiller and the decision was made to remove the glass from the reflectors, shut the water off and use a 5 ton Watercooled A/C.

Here are the pics in a time line fashion:

Clones have been transplanted and moved into 3 gallon pots. A little super thrive is used in the water. The medium is Pro-Mix.

Here is a Frisian dew which came from seed when the clones were cut:

Here is a pic showing the Frisian Dew next to the Chiesel. I've put a 2x4 in the Frisian in order to use as a reference in this picture as well as others on this day:


Here is a lady shown in the 4 gallon pot sitting next to a typical lady which was upotted. The more space you give the roots, the more mass your plant can have. These two ladies were kept in the same room and given the same food:




Picture of the room:


At this point I would have flipped the room. Perhaps within the next couple days. There was an order for some clones so...

Babies are made:



April 16:
Babies are doing ok:


So is the room:



April 26:
The babies are still in the room and I've not been able to flip the room yet.
Babies leave the room within the next couple days and the room get flipped by end of month.

Still using the Iceboxes at this point and the plants are doing fine just a couple inches from the glass:



Even these were touching the glass and they are still doing fine:


I admit I veg's for too long. I would have flipped weeks ago if it wasn't for these dam babies!!!

The Frisian is showing plenty of purple already:




Let's jump ahead about 5 weeks. This is about 7 weeks of flowering:

Still needs more growth, and a few don't look that good. Here is one of the ones that look like hell:

Looks a little better:

The Bamboo not only helps keep tops up, the blue yarn helps keep the smaller bud from falling all the way over and breaking...


Got lucky on these bud pic... I just can't figure out that macro setting:



The Frisian:
