greentiger · Feb 21, 2011

for my 1st grow i decided to build a growroom in my attic due to the fact it needed to be stealtly and away from plain sight.
matterials:
200$ in lumber
80$ in aluminum insulation
35$ extention cords/power strips
190$ x2 150 watt hps lights from sun system
20$ 25' mylar roll
15-20$ tarping
200$ 200cfm inline fans
60$ gap filler/clasps/hangers ....
100$ for the DWC set up i made
here is a few pictures of the set up i built.

ONe of the issues i had with making it stealth was the noise of the exhaust and intake fans. they wern't that loud but they make what ever they're bulted to vibrate .....
to solve this issue i suspended the fans in the air using bungie cords. then i wraped the intake fan with a thick blanket which took the noise completly away

Here is the light system im using 150 watt hps from sun sytems

and im using the full House & Garden nutrients

for air circulation im just using a basic fan that turns side to side .....

to regulate the temperature during the cold winter months i used a 60$ heater with a thermostate at home depot. so if it goes 3 degrees above the set temp it will shut off. or if it drops -3 degres from the set temp it will turn on

OOOOk Now for the fun part. I started FLowering on the 22th of december so right now they are on their 7th week of 12/12. throught the entire grow iv been following the 6 wk flower cycle from House and Garden hoping for a quick harvest not understanding each strain matures at different times. so when i finished up the 6th week i thought i was ready so i flushed with straight ph'd tap water for a little over a week. i then realized the whole mature not mature and how much each strain varies

lol. Anyways here is pictures after the 1 wk flush..........

so i found out that Dj Short flow is a multi harvest strain :smile:

so i can pull from it a couple times. the only problem i was planing on drying the nugs in the grow room since its smell proof as well as dark ( no light leaks). so i need to make a dry box now im designing one atm with a mini computer fan and a rubbermade container or cardboard box. Does anyone know if it would be better to use a cardboard box for drying over a plastic rubbermade ? for humidity factors and what not?

anyways here is how i made the exhaust fan .. Pc fan + old cell phone charger splice the lines and connect the ground and the supply as so :smile:

Since the Plants wern't ready just yet i quit the flush and went back to week 8 of nuts. so i just took these pictures just a min ago. these are after a full wk back on the nuts. let me know what you think.

So i changed the nutes on tuesday here they are today (friday) about 40% of the plant is ready to harvest.... so im thinking of flushing for 2 days next nut change then snip the branches/nugs that are ready. then put the girls back on nuts for another week. does this sound like a good idea?
here is pics taken today.
