Hello everybody! I have been researching growing, and witnessed a few grows of friends' for a couple years on and off. The price of dank in my area is rediculous, 120/quarter. SO ...we took a corner in the basement that's under an addition. The house is a frankenhouse so the area actually disappears quite nicely, you'd have to do some sleuthing to realize there's more basement, and even then the crawl space excuse could work. I have 2 cabs 4x3x6.5. 400watt hps with the extra blue in an aircooled hood, 172 cfm inline thru homeade carbon filter. Veg has 12 cfls, 6 under each hood. I made those too. 172 cfm thru carbon too. Both cabs have a passive intake on the door and an active intake with 80 cfm duct fans blowing fresh air on the plants. I had an assortment of old bagseed, and wanted to try with it for a test run. I also have seeds from a friend's grow..(he flowered his male in the next room....with pantyhose for an intake filter...some pollen got in there) I started 6, got 3 girls, kept one mother and put the other 2 in flower 12 days ago. I tied them down to open bud sites and maximize my yield. The mommy is just over 7 weeks from seed. The lettuce patch next to mommy is my buddy's new strain from his mistake. The leaves are fat as hell! Very light green too, looks like lettuce. They are just over 3 weeks from seed. Everything is in dwc, 2 airstones in each tub, one 2 outlet pump per tub. I use gh 3 part nutes, 1/2 strength of the recirc easy program..about 975 ppm with my 150 ppm tap water. I plan to take cuttings every month, clone in bubble cloner I made, veg for 3 weeks or so(4 weeks total incl clone time), then flower for 8. I will harvest 4 plants (possibly 5) every 4 weeks. This is to supply a small group of buddies, and break the chain of dealers. We plan on buying genetics too, and keep a mother of that strain and my current mother. Thanks to everone on this site, it, along with the bible, helped me get going! I am happy to say that other than minor ph fluctuation I killed with 3% peroxide (about 2 cups per 13 gallons nutes), I haven't had any major snags! I do plan on replacing the cfls with a 250watt mh. Does anyone think that will run cooler than the 12 26watt cfls? I think it might. If not I'll aircool that too. I may add co2 down the road, but may not need it as I plan on nice yields. I can't wait to not have to pay 120$ 3 or 4 times a month!! :thumbsup::rastasmoke:
