The room of bloom *pics*

[deftdrummer]

We are going to flower in 1 week when we can afford the nutes. Funny how that works huh?? Anyways, details below

This area is actually a laundry room measuring approx. 4'x8'x7' as you can see by the washer / dryer hookups on the wall. Something told us water close at hand couldn't hurt

PICTURE 1 - this picture is from the entrance of the room at the 400W MH light, the 2'x4' tray and custom (wood stand). The mylar that is near the ground lower than the tray is covering the nutrient tank(s). The basktets are of smaller size and are under the mylar beneath the plants. No light gets into the root tray.

PICTURE 2 - Is on the opposite side of the room getting a better perspective of the mylar on the walls and also on our "mylar shield" as we call it. This shows the entrance also.

PICTURE 3 - Pretty self explanitory (click image)

PICTURE 4 - This is a good shot of the 400W light and the 4" exhaust outlet through the roof. You can also see the reflectors (made out of cardboard and mylar) that we installed today.

PICTURE 5 - This is a shot of the hand made tray stand, air pump, water pump, and dual-linked 24gal nutrient tanks from walmart :dance:

looks sweet dude but i would invest in some BLACK rubbermaid totes so light wont get i n, or some silver duct tape

[Dazed4now]

i assume u have 8 plants
to many for a 400watt, theyll grow but the ones on the outer edge will get lanky as they get older and wont produce sufficent yeild also they take up needed nutrients
i recommend 6 plants at most

[deftdrummer]

thanks for the feedback, we are getting silver duct tape tomorrow!

yea t he depot has the stuff for like 2 bucks a roll, some advise w hen tapi ng your res, do it in sections, dont try and just wrap a continuos strip around the tote, i tryed it this way and the o ther way and its by far easyer to do it in sections

Wow! Pretty. Someday I'll grow me some, but rite now I'm just researching, so I do it rite. Nice! What kind of seeds?

How long of veg? What are the temps? What kind of light are you going to flower? Do you get any extra humidity from the washer dryer stuff? Keep up the hard work.

[deftdrummer]

The plants were vegged for approx 26 days from some cuttings given to us by a friend. Currently the temps are at about 75F and the humidity is at about 60%. We started vegging with a 400W light with a metal Hailide conversion bulb to emit the red spectrum. Then just yesterday we swapped in our HPS bulb for flowering.

As for the humidity and dryer question, we don't have either of them in the room. You can see the hookups on the wall where they would have been. We thought about leaving them in there since there would probably have been enough space, but not only would it have been tight... but the moisture and heat associated with washers and dryers would be probably one of the worst things you could have in your grow room. Best to try and be as sterile as possible...even if that means going to the laundramat!
