"THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT

[Tranoble]

This flush thing is getting out of hand. Im gonna answer this one last time and i hope i dont hear about any more lol. I water with PH'd water ever 3rd watering. For the last 10 days i give my plants straight PH'd water and I flush with Flora Kleen. Im getting allmost 3lb per 1000w light. If im doing something wrong please let me know what i can do to correct this. I know my plants might not get the flush the really need sometimes but there is no way I will soak my beds so much that the water runs out the bottem.

yes and no, I am not talking about the final flush. i'm talking about an emergency flush when you over nute or something. is not the principle behind this to remove the nutes from the soil so the plants uptake will slow? Then it uses the ones up inside the plant and you start it on nutes again...

I know that a final flush can be done because in that case you are just not providing any nutes so the plant will use all the stored ones up, so that no one is smoking nutes.

You can post reply's with any specific questions and I will answer them best I can. My pictures of my room are 1 week from cutting down. Based On A 4 Light Room. Pictures are of a 8 Light Room. I start by sealing my room as best I can. From there I start by building a 8ft by 8ft box with 2x6. Then I screw 2 sheets of OSB 4x8 sheets to the bottom (sort of like a water bed box). I line the inside with polly making Rating: 5

Hi Aaron. I keep my humidity so I high because i find its a find line and I dont want my leaves to dry out. I allways go over kill with everything I do and a 40 pint dehumidifier maybe a little big for the size of my room. I do have a sulfer burner. I used it for powdery mildew. I havent had powdery mildew for a few years so I havent been useing it. I do use it at other places that I have I think that might be because they are at a lower elivation. All in all i dont use it that much. When i do use it i would turn it on for 3hrs when the lights were out.

My Co2 is at 1400PPM at week 4. My Co2 is at 2000PPM right now but tonight i will be turning my Co2 off. I will be giving my plants there last 10 days of water and Flora Kleen(Final Flush).

You are correct. It is cool you have taken the time to get to know the osmotic process, a process which even by our modern science is not fully understood.

The "flushing" process is more concerned with providing the plants with pure water which will allow the plant to continue its processes of using up the nutrients it has already absorbed. The remaining nutrients in the plants at this point will have been assimilated into plant matter which will have one of two classifications: mobile and immobile. Immobile are just that, immobile, and they are more or less unaffected by the flush. Mobile nutrients, most notability nitrogen, will be burned up in the plants and this is the key concept to flushing. Getting the nitrogen out will allow the plant matter to cure much faster providing a more pleasurable smoking experience in the minimal amount of cure time. This can easily be accomplished without drainage, however, drainage would provide a way to more easily assure you can get the remaining nutrients out of the grow medium or soil. I would assume the lack of drainage in tranobles situation is potentially the reason he chooses to flush for 10 days (a little longer than normal). Does that answer your question?

Tranoble â?? Thanks for the answers on my CO2 questions! Let me list out your questions here..

>I use about two 20lb tanks for 6.5 weeks
DAMN! That is a lot of propane! Oh and I wanted to say that I agree on turning the CO2 off for the last week or two.

>What kind of burner are you using? Does your burner have a glow plug or a pilot light?
I have used both bottle injection and a burner, however neither of which is up and running now due to the bottle being used on a keggerator and the temps are like 87F in the room right now without the burner running at all.. Needless to say Iâ??m hoping for an early winter! When I use the burner I have I just walk in the room and light it (I donâ??t use a pilot light). Half the time the CO2 is pretty high anyways for some unknown reason and only recently have the levels been under a thousand ppm. I live in a manufacturing town, thatâ??s about the only reason I think the ambient CO2 levels are so high, but hell Iâ??m ok with it! I am thinking about setting my digital controller to 1400ppm and hooking up bottle injection with a full bottle of CO2 and see if the bottle lasts long enough to be practical.

>Do you have a dehumidifer? I try to keep my humidy at about 70-75%

Yep, I have the 40 pint model too, and I have it on a timer to come on during the dark cycle only and it keeps the Relative Humidity at about 45-50%. During the light cycle my rooms humidity is only about 45% without the dehumidifier running, I am surprised at how high you run your humidity. Do you use a sulfur burner?

I read this entire thread and did not see anything as to how you deal with the electricity bill. I understand if you would rather not say but if you thought you mentioned it you didnt just curious.

it has been mentioned multiple times. he uses a pfc, which is sort of an equalizer/current cleaner in a sense. Same thing that new high end computer power suppliers use...cleans up the current and allows for more efficient use of the electricity. Keeps cost down somewhat.

aside from that...a $1000 energy bill in the middle of canada is really not that suspicious considering many people use large amounts of electricity for A/C or heating, work, etc. Plus its Canada, who really cares out there?

I have many friends who live in areas where marijuana growing is very prevalent, and they run similar large setups to Tranobles. Pay your bill on time and no energy company is going to say no to all the money you bring in.

Actually not in Canada. We have publicly supplied power so there isnâ??t a profit incentive. They actually run a lot of programs to help people lower their power usage.

[Tranoble]

Harris I think your wrong. All hydro bills are done by computer. As long as you pay your bill on time no one will ever see your bill. If you are late paying your bill then the bill is flagged and then someone will pull the bill and send you a bill asking you to pay or you will be disconnected. There is no way that people sit and go threw every single hydro bill. I know this cause I have a family member that works at hydro.

I know many of people that have $5000 hydro bills and up and dont have any grow op. There is no way that Hydro can pull your bill just cause its a high bill. That would be like finding a needle in a hay stack. If someone tells the cops that you have a grow op and they pull your hydro bill and its high then your in trouble. This is how people get caught. Not cause you have a high hydro bill. Allso why would hydro want to screw you when you are paying them lots of money?

Well I’m not. And neither are you. We aren’t talking about the same things.

In the states companies want higher power usage so they can make more profit. They even go further like lowering supply so that demand exceeds it and then jack up the price because of the shortage (enron).

I’m just stating how different our system is. Nothing to do with grows

[Tranoble]

I dont see anything about you stating how different our systems are. I am posting realating to the post where u stated on Racerx post. Look back a few posts. He said that he knows of alota grows ops and as long as you pay your bill on time you will be fine. You said "Actually not in Canada."

[harris7]

i was only responding to what was in the quotation box. That there system has the profit incentive to keep growers around. BC hydro does not have this incentive. Public corporations are not under mandate to maximize profit unlike privet ones. Public corporations are mandated to provide a service. And that is why they are trying to bring down average consumption. Nothing to do with getting caught


"no energy company is going to say no to all the money you bring in." (i am just speaking to the differences in our systems in regard to this statment)

this is not the reason you dont get caught. it is because it is done by computer and because averages very so much. as you said

Hey Tranoble sorry i missed your thread but i just read about 5 pages of it and it's really interesting. could you take some pics and give me the exact specifications of your veg/cloneing room and the lights you use please that would be great thanks.
