2nd Grow - Northern Lights #5 X Haze

Hi Guys,

This is my 2nd grow. Unfortunately a mistake has already been made. I ordered normal Northern Lights and the supplier sent me the wrong seeds, so instead of a compact plant I have a tall plant. Due to my location getting seeds is incredibly hard, so I had to go with these.

I will try and scrog them as I only have a 6' height in my room from the floor to the ceiling.

I'm running a flood and drain system and currently using a single 600W lamp (MH) however I have a new Spectrum King SK400+ on order that is due to arrive any day, so will swap this out.

I'm using RO water with Hesi nutrients and calmag. The grow room is air-conditioned (average outside heat where I live is 40 degrees C) and I'm currently running a charcoal filter to extract the air from the room.

I'm currently waiting for a solenoid to arrive for my CO2 system and once that is here I will seal the room and CO2 at 1200ppm.

I have a security system setup and I'm taking hourly pictures of the plants as they grow so I can make a time-lapse video later.

Any feedback is more than welcome, there is a lot of knowledge on this forum and I'm always willing to learn new things and take advice.

OK, so this is outside the room where I keep my chillers and I also refrigerate my nutrients due to the heat in this country.

I run all my equipment on a UPS due to the terrible power here, I also have a backup generator that kicks in after 5 seconds of outage. The UPS covers that time-gap.





This is inside the grow room, this is my RO unit and RO water storage tank (600L). You can also see the aircon above.



This is my main nutrient tank (600L)



This is my control/monitoring system. I'm using a pH doser to keep the nutrients at 5.8pH and a guardian to keep an eye on EC/Temp/pH. This is also connected to a PC and also viewed by a camera so I can keep an eye on things remotely. The idea is to visit the room as less often as possible.



Here's the main room painted in flat white.





and finally the remote view from both cameras.



I really enjoyed building this room and setup.

Here's a 24 hour time-lapse. It's incredible to see a small amount of growth every hour.
