My Grow, 1000W Hydro SOG

[geekygrower]

My Grow Room.


Ok, I don't post very often as it is a security threat "This post was made through a proxy", but wanted to pass along what I have learned to any who listens.

This is my way of doing things so if it doesn't work for you then don't do it.


The Room - Basement room, two windows 1 closet
Electric - 1000 w HPS is flower, 300W floro in Veg
Vent - 490 CFM canfan in Flower venting outdoors - This is all I need as the suction from that fan pulls in fresh air from the basement.


Ok, So here we go...

Veg Room - PIC 1

This is the closet of the room. I have a single airpump "industrial" that supplies air to 6 airstones. These stones are placed in 1 of 6 buckets that hold 4 plants each "this was done so I can maintain the nutes differently in for each plant" This room will house all of my vegging plants and my clones.

Flower Room Outside - PIC 2

This is the outside of the flower box. Just your simple dual C32 from the grow depot. these are mounted together and lightproofed. The black tube is the vent tube that comes off the 500CFm fan and vents directly outside. I will be installing a inline smell filter after the next harvest.

Flower Room Inside - PIC 3
This is the money maker here... here is a rundown
1. Ebb and Flow table - this is a 30 gallon table that holds all my flowering plants. This is my favorite way to grow under these conditions, though I have dabbled in every Hydro method outthere.
2. 1000W light - That's it. Glass enclosed hood
3. - CanFan - This is the whole rooms major Air mover, Very good, and very quite!
4. Circulation Fan - Just a simple wall mounted fan to move air around
5. Main Light controller "small white box monted on right wall" This is my main 12/12 timer, controlls the Light, Vent, and ballast cooling fan "not pictured, behind E&B table"
6. Light reflector - these are the B&W poly sheets hanging, the easiest way I know to lightproof.

Drying room - PIC 4

This box holds my drying buds - I have fishing line strung inside, criss-crossing as many times as possible to hang the most amount of bud inside. There is a side vent fan that keeps the air cirulating inside. you can also see one of the boarded over windows with the Main vent tube going outside. You might see some other cables going outside - Those are for a security camera that is steathly installed close to the outside window to mointor anything going on... 1 of 4

Vent Tube - PIC 5
This is just the venting tube that I've run across the ceiling to keep it out of the way

This setup works well for me. It's quite, smell proof "inside soon to be outside too" and can't be noticed from outside the room "due to some cleaver wall hangings.

There are a few "problems" though I guess.

1. It's not using the whole room, i need another 1000W for that, once I have that, I'll remove the C32 closet and hang BW polly to create a room
2. It's very hard to introduce CO2 into the room the way it's set up. but that's not too hard to fix.

Well, that's how I do it... Feel free to ask any questions... Like I said above. If you don't like the way I do things then feel free to move along.


Thanks all

SWEET!!!!

Why are the plants all different sizes...?

Thanks for the clear descriptions.. very nice!!!

[geekygrower]

they ladies are of different sizes because this is my first grow in this new house. after these plants finish I will know what I have. So basically, after this harvest all the plants will be figured out and I will plant only 1 strain "the best producing" which then will all grow at the same speed.

That, and I placed these plants into flower over the course of about 2 weeks.

1. My drying chamber. you can see that there is fishing line streched across to hold the drying plants
2. Boarded over window with room vent in it
3. Veg room, only half full
4. My badass airpump, can supply up to 12 airstones
5. Polly covered flower room to keep the light out.
