Aero/NFT Grow in Tent w/ CO2, AC, Dehumidifier, and DIY Chiller

BUMP!
So, the dispensary emptied out my flower in 1 week. They have patients on a waiting list for my flower. It's been met with an overwhelming positive feeling. So happy to be helping so many patients and proud of every delivery I made, as far as quality goes. Now the dispensary, will have to deal with patients that want my flower but have a little wait. Excited for some new strains I have coming. keeping my Pineapple Kush, Tangie, Critical Kush, and adding Zod, Black Kush, and Grape Kush.

Which strain you grew that the dispencary was in need of?

I might have to get some of that Tangie. Did you get your Tangie from clone or did you grow from seed?

From seed. Ordered from attitude Seedbank. They are a bit expensive for a 6pack. But very much worth it.

Nice! Did you find a keeper out of the 6 pack and what was the flower time with your Tangie's?

The Tangie that I've experienced was From a promotional offer on my last purchase. Had a single seed of it, and was a keeper plant. Lost the strain in my move, so just ordered another 6pack as well as other stuff. Flower time is right around 55 early to 70 days with some flush time depending on nute levels ya run.

Yeah the trimming gets old. If you pick one up let me know how it works. Ive always been a little afraid if them kiefing the bud too much, but who knows.

Ak,

Is it possible to run this whole setup on a single 20 amp circuit or do lights, fans,etc.. have to run on a separate circuit from the pumps?

Click to expand...

You could run 1 1000w and everything else on one 20 amp as long as you dont have ac, and dehumidifier. When you add more lights, dehum and ac you'll need to break it up

I just cracked Reserva Privada Kosher Kush and Kandy Kush. Ill let you know how it all turns out...

Picked it up, and used it. Didn't care for how much it does kief the bud, but it saved so much time on the smaller stuff. I still hand trim anything of any significant size.

Also, having a hard time jumping on my final heating/cooling decision. Was set to pickup a 4 zone mini split, but was then warned that the outdoor unit sometime freezes up during cold weather. Not something I want to happen during a cold Michigan winter, so now I'm looking at getting a smaller forced air furnace to do my heating & cooling. The hard decisions are holding me up with this build out.

Nice man! I think I may have to do get one for the smaller nugs.

You know what I like about my thread? There have been no haters or trolls. I am sure that they will come around someday, but I sure am stoked on all the positivity around here. Plants like positivity too, at least thats what my hippie friend said. lol. Lets keep it up! Thanks to everyone for all their support!

Learned years ago, that negativity is not good for anyone involved. But, you can still have a positive vibe in telling someone they are wrong in their thinking.

Hmmm. In Alaska we know a thing ot two about cold weather, well at least before global warming we did. JK lol. I have heard about people building a box or room around their outside unit of their mini splits with adjustable vents to keep them from freezin up.

Cool man. Only 2k watts? If so you are not gonna need hardly any, if any AC in the winter and you would be able to get by with a portable ac unit no problem in the summer. I am in the process of ditching my AC all together and going with cool boxes daisy chained together and rigged up to a thermostat. I have one set up and its putting off a ton of cool air just being connected to cold tap water. My plan is to set a res full of glycol in a freezer and pump that shit through the ice boxes. Im thinking it'll be good enough to cool 6k watts. http://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Innovations-904490-Ice-6-Inch/dp/B002JLAC3I

I'm debating if light movers are the best option, or 2 lights per 6'x8' rail area.

I would put 2k watts over each unit and put those on a LightRail 5 that can move up to 3 lights at a time. I am putting my 3 - 1k watters on one light rail.
