Grow Plans... Good? Bad? Check it...

no... it's not a solid wall. I had planned to have an angled grate to let the fan blow through, yet still block out light which may come from wherever (gonna be in a basement, so not much). i am trying to do this without the use of exhaust fans and such, 'cause I'm gonna be renting. No use gettin too elaborate until I'm gonna stay put. I figured between the fan and open top, heat would be taken care of, but I may need to figure something else out to deal with the light issue. Playing with the idea of getting rid of the aquariums and using soil with nutrient/CO2 lines... which tends to be more productive?

I could make the quality a little better for the pic, but what you got there itsn't all that bad.

Just FYI, there should be options to plot a Jpeg and you can change the custom properties to make it a higher rez.

dizzy, if you've got any ideas... toss 'em on that CAD drawing and shoot it back to me

Hehe
Please don't confuse me with an experienced grower. :D
Don't get me wrong, I'm full of ideas, I'm also not sure how good they are in the end.
Still in the planning phase myself for my 1st go. I'm working on my cab as we speak, doing the slow route. I got laid off 3 weeks ago after 7 years and I just now got a good job offer, so this little project of mine got back burnered. I should be up and going in a couple of weeks.
I do plan on doing a lil "sketch" of the cab in the next couple of days. :)

right on man, i'll be adding more to this post as I start construction of my cab. Suggestions in the meantime...

hello mate when growing hydro make sure water temps are right and use an air stone instead of flat paint use mylar,you need a excaust fan and flexi ducting to control the heat and that ocilating fan needs to be inside you room,and you dont need no more than a 400 to flower and a 250 to veg:thumbsup:

I am using these peat pucks for the first time, and I'm fuckin' disappointed! I germinated my plants-to-be inside a damp cloth in a ziplock container (covered with shirt for darkness) and 10/12 split and sprouted their little tail. I added water to the peat puck until they swelled to 1.5" and drained off excess water as directed. I was very careful to handle the seeds as little as possible when transplanting, and used a deilicate pair of needlenose pliers to ensure the tail stayed pointing down inside the pucks. Knocked a little peat over top the holes, covered it up with the mini-greenhouse, and tossed it under a 60w bulb with a reflector (wanted to put 'em outside, but it was still a little chilly). That was on thursday... it's tuesday night, and the bastards still haven't sprouted. I sacrificed one seed/puck to look and see what was happening inside, and it looks the exact same as when it went in. I even opened up the shell itself to check for signs of drowning (discoloration) and she's white as a pearl. Any time I've had seeds in dirt, they poked up within 2-3 days... can anyone here tell me what the fuck is up!?
