Veg Rm Specs:
- 3' W x 5.5' D x 3.5'-7' H. (under a staircase)
- 4 bulb 4' T8/32w fixture, 2 cool white, 2 warm white. Hang from chains.
- 2- 2 bulb 4' T12/40w fixtures each with one cool white and one warm white. Mounted on the wall behind plants.
- one 12"or so, table top fan, should be oscilating but it was a hand me down and just clicks.
Room has remained at high 70s with about 55-60% hum, since construction @ the end of Oct.
There is no active ventalation and I believe that I should be fine given the small size of the room.
Flower Rm. Specs:
- 2.5' W x 5.5' D x 7' H
- 400w/ HPS/ 6" CoolTube.
- One med tower fan
- 4" inline bilge/galley fan-240 cfm.(It's for boats and only cost me $35.00 off Ebay with shipping)
- Current set up is missing the inline fan because it has not arrived yet. Based on the "heat rises" concept the cold air intake for the CoolTube is aprx. 18" off of the floor while the hot air exhaust runs to a 6"-4" reducer fitting up at the ceiling.
- I placed a 3" 90 deg elbo aprox 12" off the floor with the tower fan infront of it, allowing cooler air from under the stairs behind the flower room in. I then placed a 4" T above the HPS ontop of the ceiling allowing hot air to escape.
- I plan on connecting the Light exhaust to the room exhaust( "T") and placing the inline fan at the end, "Pulling" air from both and then pushing through a Carbon Scrubber I still have to make.
- Even without the inline fan in yet the temp at the pot level has averaged 80 deg. I have an old Weather gauge at the ceiling level and it averages 90+ and 60% hum. However, it is old and is coil style not mercury so I don't entierly trust it.
-The Stock: One seed from dispensery bag of Bubba Kush. One seed from dispensery bag of Grape Krush. So I know these seeds aren't "Pure", only strain dominent but hey they were free. Cracked them papper towel style and then put them in MG Organic Potting Mix in a DIY Bubbleponics system at the end of Oct 2010. BAD IDEA!! Total newbee, ill concieved plan, which quickly let me know by trying to kill the babies. Moved them into a bland starter style mix and 86 the Bubbleponics. They rebounded nicely which is good cause they are 2 sexy ladies. Mid Nov. I purchased a seed pack from The Centennial Seed CO. based here in Co. The strain is called "21" and is a cross of CSC Blueberry and Sweet Tooth. Suppose to be a indica dom. yet clear headed. Started 5 seeds out of 13. All cracked,and broke soil at the same time.
- I then tried to kill them by not waiting to feed them some "Tea" I made from some compost and started to burn em. Yep don't feed them babies till they have lost their little seed leaves. And really don't feed them with dry soil, pre-moisten it
I flushed them and saved all but one. That one and another runt were removed early to mid Dec. removing weaker Genetics of my "21". The remaing three have done well, the largest one ended up being male. Which was fine because I had hoped for a male so as to play Mad Scientist later. He is a stud with great features including fast/strong groth and tollerance to stupidity
- After looking around the web I chose a semi-soilless mix of peat, perlite, sand, and mushroom compost, aswell as Eko brand organic potting mix. Sounds like alot but it all works for different stages of my grow. I also got some Bone Meal and Fish emmultion because I was in a jam and couldn't wait to get the Blood Meal I really wanted.. If people want I'll give parts per for the three mixes I do for the 3 stages.( Seed/Clone-Veg-Flwr)

- Stay away from MG Soil unless you have Natroll or diatematious earth to battle the fungus gnats that almost always come with the MG Soils.
- Rust mold/ Black Spot looks alot like an N def. to the untrained eye(well mine anyway) My grape Krush is suffering, hence the Fish juice, and at lights out she gets misted with a apple cider/water mix which kills most molds including Rust. I'll have to let you know if I notice a dif.
