"THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT

[Tranoble]

First off if your just starting out read this whole thread. Pretty much help you step by step. To run Co2 you will need a Co2 burner with a glow plug and a Co2 computer/monitor. Burner will cost you about 6-8 hundred, and the computer are about 650-1150. I just bought one from Better Than Nature for $650. If you cant afford it this time around make sure you invest in the Co2 next time around. Its sure worth the money it will increase your yeild big time. For the charcoal filter I would wait. You dont have very many plants and it depends alot on what strain you are using. Some stink more than others. If you need any help at all id be glad to help you. Just post any questions here on this thread. I check every few days. Good Luck.

this thread is inspiring and very helpful, i've reciently gotten into the scene with some equipent I ordered from BC, i'm doing 20 clones per 1k hps and 3 in the flowering room, so 3k and 60 little guy's under 12/12 how do u think they'll do WITHOUT CO2? what am i looking at to set it up? And how bad do u think it will stink, should I invest in a charcohol setup?

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

yep i've been reading this thread for day's now but for a newbie I think i'm doing very well with my show so far, i'd like to post you some pics but I don't have a digi cam right now. I'd say after the first round or so i'll try to invest in a co2 system but u know how it is when u first start out, how tall would u recommend I veg them before flipping 12/12?

How do you determine total ppm from the feeding schedle you posted to be sure that you are using the proper CO2 levels. You poste the schedule in mL added, right LoL? Could you post a CO2 schedule as well or explain how to calculate CO2 levels from the feeding schedule that you posted. Different EC meters seem to have different formulas for calculating ppm levels and converting to EC readings. Hope I wasnt too confusing. I am doing lots of research concerning this thread. It woke me up to what is possible with using a little inginuity.

Thanks Again for your generosity.

Start the PPM on your Co2 computer at about 1100 PPM for week 2. Every week bump it up 200 PPM.

Some stains grow faster than others. If you wait to long you plants will get tall and stretch. I usually flip my plants around a foot tall. If im taking clippings off the bottoms to root for another room I let them get a little taller before flipping.

another question, my little guys are about 1 ft there now i'm just waiting on my reflectors for the hps but what do u think of batwing reflectors for our style of growing? and that being said a tray (4x4) of 20 plants 1 ft veg flipped under a 1k hps with batwigs what kinda of yeild do u think i'll get roughly if everything goes well? I know it's hard to say but any ideas for a tray that size?? dry too

Bat Wing shaders are decent. Any shader that hangs your bulb sideways are a better shader. For how much you will yield I cant really tell you. I have no idea what kinda set you have. Its definatly a good idea to not cheap out on your room. What ever money you put into you room spend wisely and will make alot better results. Good luck.
