"THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT

[harris7]

Tran,

Thanks for the help you’ve given me so far, we’ve grown some dank bud.

Were trying to get our yield up and thinking about using overdrive.
I’ve read about it on Advanced N website and it looks like what we need

What are you feelings on it

harris7 Reviewed by harris7 on 03-25-2007. "THE SEALED ROOM" 3lbs A LIGHT THE SEALED ROOM Listen im not very good at writing this stuff down. 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

Tranoble-

I was searching the internet for information on sealed rooms and I came across this thread. I just spent the last couple hours reading all the information on here amd I must say I am amazed. Great work growing in soil. You obviously have a great understanding of the plant itself and use that to your advantage.

I am a newbie on this site, but far from a newbie when it comes to growing. I have been growing for a few years using a drip system in buckets. I recently moved and I just finished rough-framing my new flower room. I am now convinced; I am going to build a sealed room.

I have a couple questions for you that I hope you dont mind answering. Do you have any experience growing bushes in buckets? Since I live in the states, I have to watch my plant counts and cant grow large numbers. I veg my plants for about 3-4wks which is a lot longer than you are vegging. In a sealed room environment, would I still wait till bloom to start with CO2 or would I start during veg?

My room is about 10' long x 6' wide x 7' high. I sold a few of my lights to grow buddies while i was moving from house to house since i didnt have any use for them. Now, i dont know what to buy. Should i go with 2 1k lights or 4 600w lights? I really want to use 3 1k lights but i need to run the AC, dehumidifier, and other things which will draw a good bit of power, and being in a 3 bedroom house in the states, i dont want to draw too much power.

Thanks for all the help. You are a wealth of knowledge and an inspiration to all. Keep up the good shows.

My very first grow room I grew christmas trees in buckets with lava rock and a drip system. I know alot of people that run there Co2 at about 900 ppm while in veg. I dont cause i dont veg that long. For what kinda of lights you should use I would say 1000 watt. I have never used nothing but. The power consumption I would use a equalizer. It reduces your power consumption. I have given more deatil what it does and where to find it earlier in this thread.

Sorry Harris I have never used it.

What an inspiring thread - cheers :thumbsup:

It's made me re-assess my set up and I'm going to try my next crop using a closed system like yours. Unfortunately where I live, I can't source some of the products you are using, so I'm having to modify the setup slightly.

I'll be growing in a 8'x6' room, using one split A/C unit with the heat exchanger outside. I've managed to find a similar but different make CO2 computer that comes complete with regulator, controller and sensor but I can't find a CO2 generator, so I have to use bottles. If I've read through your posts correctly, I'll be needing 2 x 20lb bottles and use them only during flowering.

I was also wondering what you do about temperature control. I'll probably set the A/C for around 77 degrees F / 25 degrees C and with the grow room temperature being controlled by the A/C unit, it will be a constant temperature regardless if the lights are on or off. In my current set up, my temperature drops when the lights go out. Do you leave your room at a constant temperature or do you drop it a few degrees when the lights out go out?

I'm also curious what the A/C unit does to humidity levels as A/C normally sucks moisture out of the air.

Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance :rasta:

Thanks for the help.

As far as pf correction, it does work; however, it doesnt work in the US. The electrical grid in the US is billed in KWH, where as in canada and other countries, it is billed KVAH. I dont believe pf correction saves money for people in the US. Do you know of any other ways to help save money on the electric bill? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Keep your room at about 85 degrees when the lights are on and 75 degrees when the lights are out. If your temps drop any more than that your plant will stretch and your nodes will not be as close together. Your a/c will help with the humidity but you will still need a duhumidifier to control the humidity. You want your humidity in room at about 60%-40% or as close as you can get to that. Good luck.

I live in Canada and we are allso billed in KWH. Im pretty sure it works in the states cause thats where they are made.
