My Botanical Venture

killa12345,

Good afternoon to you.:thumbsup: Thanks you for peeking in on my operation. I am definitely going to apply my changes or additions this evening. As it stands, the Dames are doing great, the temp. was 77 and the humidity was 38%. I just finished watering/nuting them. I discovered that the ONE seed I have from a named strain (Bubba Kush) germinated today;), so now I have 10 Dames total.

On the topic of perpetual growing. I have a LARGER closet next to the one I am using now. I was thinking of making this my Flower Room:jointsmile:. I appreciate the insight and input. So far so good on my end. Sorry to hear about your Ladies suffering. I hope you get them back on the healthy side of things. I will clean out that other closet later and post pictures.

I just peeked in on my dames and discovered the temp. to be 81 degrees and the humidity 42%:( If this is any indication, my Dames are in for quite a HOT summer down the road. Since it is only spring, and the outdoor temp. is 68 degrees today:(. I can only imagine what the temps will be in the coming months.

Any suggestions beforehand on how to avoid the BROILER room temperatures of summer? As it stands I only have the one 48" fixture running.

Note: this is before I have activated the intake and exhaust fans. Will the function of these fans help to alleviate heat concerns? Or will I need to take different measures?

Thanks for stopping by ive been watching your as well.....But definity set up the other closet....the perpetual grow will give you probably 2 extra crops per year.....everyone i know who cultivates uses 2 or more rooms....without the extra closet you might get 2-3 crops per year which might work for you....but if you have one room for your mothers and clones and another bigger room just to flower.....its just a matter of getting the durations right and you can probably get 4-5 crops per year.

Yeahhh, so I accomplished the clean-up and here are the images of my soon-to-be Flower Room:thumbsup:

Also, the temperature issues are no more, all I have to do in order to reduce the heat is run the House Fan for a few minutes on the sweltering days.;)

Anyhow, the images of the soon-to-be Flower Room.
The room measures 7'6" High X 9'6" Wide X 7'6" Deep:thumbsup:
Plenty of space for plenty of Mothers:D

Thats a growing paradise right there, that little wooden corner.

Wow, I could do so much in that little space, lol.

Goodluck!

damn you can grow some monsters in there. Ill be lurking on this one



stay irie

Thanks whoreable and iriebowl:thumbsup:

I THOUGHT my little operation would be SIMPLE.:wtf:

Now, due to the advice of killa12345 it has turned into this.:D

All it took was initiative and elbow grease. Now I have a DEFINITE weekend project of painting both closets flat white. As well as mapping out my ventilation system, procuring and installing the (by my guess-timations) dual 600w HPS lamps, digital timers, more fans, create a soil mixture, humidifiers, more nutes, light-proofing, killa12345, see what you instigated??:wtf:

j/k I'm loving every minute of it, oh AND the Dames are doing fine. All is well in my little neck of the woods:thumbsup:

Now that is a growing paradise.....that closet is huge....for that type of space id be starting some more dames(i love it)...i hope my ladies come threw which i think they will.....but we are both going in opposite directions.....You can go bigger...while i have to down size today...6-8 plants hope it goes well....but keep up the good work....Sh*t with that closet your never going to have to worry about smoke anymore....Also id read rhizome's thread about setting up a room...some really insightful stuff about ventilation...PS if you think where you live is hot in the summer......got into my SUV yesterday and i said it was 108F outside eventually falling to 101F.
Good Luck
Killa12345:thumbsup:

Also....You might want to consider mylar....because those wood closets look really good in the finish currently.....if you ever wanted nice closets again....just a heads up.

killa12345,

Again, thanks for the support:thumbsup: I hope all goes well with your progression. Wow! 108?? Do you know how many SUPER-SIZED slurpies from 7/11 I would go through in one day???:D

And on the idea of Mylar, I think these Cedar closets served their purpose as such for as long as I can remember, housing old clothing, memorabilia, and junk. I think it's HIGH time this closet is utilized for something MUCH more beneficial to one's well-being;)

Besides, clothing doesn't care what you store it in right?:D I plan to remove the clothes hanging pipe and paint today, pics will follow completion.

On a side note. My oscillating fan took a crap on me again today (repairable). I mean it still moves air, but the oscillating function has failed AGAIN. I think I will opt to replace it.

That IS great looking wood......make a LOVELY hardwood floor. :thumbsup:
