My Botanical Venture

[Technique2]

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

Awww, now I am starting to feel sorta guilty about the whole painting idea

Here I am all motivated to go and prep the room, and you guys are admiring the parque

I will heed the advice of the 'masses' and look into Mylar.:thumbsup: Besides, I am a long ways out from actually UTILIZING this space. I am just a FORWARD THINKER.

And thanks for stopping in fellas. You are definitely welcomed here, and all of your insights and suggestions are much appreciated.

So I am starting to hone my thoughts more towards the Hydroponic (soiless) recirculating side.... Yeahhhhh, and I find myself Thinking...........:smokin:

This


And This


And This

Elevated Gravity Drip Nute Receptical

And lastly Lower Nute Station


And this is where my moment of clarity halts....

To be continued...

how big are those buckets and net pots? I think your gonna need bigger buckets for those pots. other than that I cant wait to see that room in bloom.

I was initially thinking the same thing, but since I am also thinking of using individual air stones to distribute the Nutes via the Gravity drip system, (aquarium hose to each pot with an air stone on the end) I anticipate the bucket will only serve as a run-off/collector/ Excess root holder.

And if I get the delivery system right balanced with the right amount of H2O/Nutes, I should be able to set this up and monitor w/o all the mess I know I am soon to experience with my Soil Grow.

But to answer your Q.

The Net baskets are 5 Gallons in volume possibly more. (they weren't exactly intended for the use I am concocting)

The Mop Buckets are 3 Gallons or so in Volume. But we will see.

Ha!

Well, I am a person that starts with VERY little knowledge and understanding in a subject, but I QUICKLY get up to speed with the basics working my way towards the complex. On the topic of my Venture, I am learning all the do's and don'ts just for the SETUP portion. I.E. aluminum foil is BAD. Mylar is good, Flat white is acceptable. Insights like these which I have read countless times, seen people who have used the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY and their results, formulated my perspective and moved forward.

Well, PERFECTIONIST may be a stretch in my case, but I do like CONFORMITY. So If WeedHound for example has instructed someone else in another thread, well, Technique2 will apply that knowledge that WeedHound has imparted directly to MY Venture.Why, because I am a person that respects someone else's growths and triumphs (inspiration) as well as their short-comings and failures (insights). If they can help me an any way, I am all ears, (or eyes in our case)

(as I said in Rock.Steady's thread, YOU WILL WIN)

Thank you very much. I am pulling for you and ANYONE who is giving this hobby or horticultural method a go.

hey Tech,
nice start, the brainstorming kinda reminds me of my 'little' grow, which spawned a whole sub-room and A/C dedicated to the space in summer. details in my 1st thai log.
what started as a small cabinet turned into a stealth flowering room, 3ft wide, 8ft tall and 7ft deep, with useable floorspace 3x5ft and 8ft ceiling, cut 6in hole thru ceiling for vent to attic, and a 250W HPS, which im sure will be upgraded to 400w (possibly with added T5's vertically in the corners), in the coming weeks.

ur venting will help, but summer will be a challenge. u may need some a/c action nearby

IMO, u mentioned a larger closet nearby. THAT would be my flwr chamber. the one u have setup would be veg.

as to white and that lovely wood...

no to mylar. u'll get hot spots and burn the plants

I would feel bad painting that wood. can u afford that thin white sheeting? if so, get that instead so it can be removed to show that beautiful wood, sometime in the future.

thats all i have for now.

Good Luck on ur grow!:thumbsup:
i'll be watching
