Ok so they'll be growing on Saturday. I guess this will be a journal/build out thread.
The room is sealed. As with most indoor set ups there was some basic fab work necessary. Let's not even talk about building a whole new fucking room for this. I've got plent of room to double this up but I want to make sure I don't suck at this hydro shit first. Co2 tank is hiding somewhere
My babies are waiting for me and will be in the tray on Saturday.
Here is the sort of finished set up. Nothing is tied up all pretty but you get the idea.
That fancy rack is 2x4's and some paint. I couldn't bring myself to pay $300 for a rack. Used some wood I had laying around. Those long side boards are raised to fit into the trays grooves so it won't slide off.
Since I'm sucking air from outside to cool my lights I don't want it to get dusty in there. In 30min without this filter it got surprisingly dirty. I made this little frame thingy and cut a cheap filter to fit.
Fancy...
I bought this used portable AC unit for a $100. No ducting and she's a little tired. I don't know if I'll make it through summer with just her. Anyway, her holes for the ducting weren't exactly 5" so lets just say I made 5" ducting work.
I popped the back of the unit off to get these in right.
She works. After a few hours the room was at 82 degrees. Not great but it might work. I don't know. Never grown indoors
I've got a wall mount fan and will definately have at least another floor fan. The wall mount doesn't cut it.
So thats the basics. Can't wait to get the kiddies in there. In a week or two when they're rooted out of the bottom of the 4x4 blocks they'll go on top of 10"x36" slabs.
12 plants total.
