Hello folks,
Just starting to get things around for yet another grow. However I have moved into a place where there is a secret room that i found. No access at all to the room. OKay OKay its not a total secret some people know its there but the room was sealed off many moons ago. Well i figured out the layout of the house and how to get into this room. This room is roughly 80 sq feet. the room is roughly 12' X 8'. SO there will be room for a veg and flower room. I plan on using 6 aeroponics systems and one 24 hole cloner. Everything is home made. And will be built to fit the room. I plan on using 1 600 watt HPS @ 85,000 lumens for the flower room plus supplemental lighting from CFLs for a total of around 3500 lumens per sq foot. I might upgrade to a 1000 watt HPS sooner or later but at the moment all my cash is going to room set up. Plus the 40 sq feet will accually be less once the room is set up so I know there will be over 3000 lumens at least and 1 250 watt MH for the veg room. That should be enough after everything is built to supply the precious plants enough light to grow. The cloner will be lit with with 2 2' T8 warm and cool bulbs. also in the flowering room I plan on keeping the CO2 levels around 1500 ppm and maybe increasing that to around 2000 ppm for the last 4 weeks of flowering. This will also leak a little into the veg room so no CO2 will be released into the room its self.
So far this is my new idea for the new grow room. and so far everything looks like it is going good and money and resources are in place so i just need to start building the room the way I want it. I am worried about the cold temperatures coming because it is almost winter here and I do not know how the room is going to do when it hits 0 degrees out. May need to heat the room. But I am hoping that the MH and HPS will do the trick. Maybe to hot. Time will tell.
Anyways, Like I said there ill be a 24 hole cloner that I will use to clone the VEG room not mothers. all clones will be taken from the veg room after growth good growth. Only 14 out of the 24 clones will be selected and used in the Aero/NFT systems. The strongest will survive. These will be grown to around 40 to 50 CM (around 20 inches) in veg room and flowered for 8 to 9 weeks in the flower room. off set three weeks apart to harvest every 3 weeks. after the initial 9 weeks of flowering. This will give me roughly 14oz every 3 weeks which should be well over enough to supply my needs for a very long time. I DO smoke ALOT and this should be enough to supply me and maybe the rest of the members in my household. Better be anyways.
So this is my thoughts and well I am loving the idea of this grow room. I have been using a 6' X 3' X 6' box that i made to grow in and it has done me well. But when I moved I had to disassemble and am missing my set up so I figured I would make a bigger badder system. Now that I know how to grow its time to spend some money and make the room of my dreams. Well it still isn't the room of my dreams but will definitely be bigger and badder then I had in the past.
Here is a list of what I will be using to grow in this new room of mine.
Seeds to start
Was going to use AK-47 Any thoughts on other strains are welcome.
nutrients
Botanicare Cal-Mag plus, Liquid Karma, Pure Blend Pro Veg, Sweet, and Pure Blend Pro Bloom.
6 Aero/NTF Systems total of 42 plants in Veg and 42 Plants in FLower total of 84 plants in total.
24 hole aero cloner
1 600 watt HPS soon will upgrade to 1000 watt HPS
1 250 watt MH with supplemental CFLs
2 2' T8 cool and warm white bulbs for the cloner
240 CFM inline exhaust fan
2 ocsilating fans
and 2 activaed carbon filter to control odor
1 CO2 regulator with 50 lb tank.
at the moment can't think of what else will be in the room. Maybe a small oscilating heater with thermostat if temps get to low in the mid winter.
Oh yeah and there is a window in the center of this room witch I will be building a light trap for. hidden blind and a cover to cover the window so no light leaks out. Its small but could be a problem if it not covered.
So far any thought or opinions on this new grow room.
Any thought on this room would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pictures of the room and access to the room. You have to go threw a closet and behind the shower to enter the room. There will be a fake wall built to cover the entrance in the closet so no one sees the entrance. The the typical person this will be just a closet and nothing more.
Don't mind the room its a mess and is the junk room so I will be cleaning and organizing that room shortly but I have more important thing to do then clean that room at the moment I wanna get my grow room built first.
These pictures are in raw form and the rooms need to be cleaned and a few holes in the floor fixed but you will get to see the rough layout and the entrance tot he rooms.
More pictures will follow and you WILL be updated on what is going on and any improvements made to this room.
BUT.....
Until then let me know what you think......
