My Botanical Venture

[Technique2]

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?

Technique,

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

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.

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

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???

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? 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:
