Show Off You're Grow Room

Hepmleton... I love your setup man because it looks so professional and organized, yet not overkill. My one concern is that you plants are stretching so much. Is it because the lights don't move up and down or that you don't have a metal halide or cool T5s during veg? Or are you growing 12/12 from seed? It looks like you have PLENTY air circulation to get those lights right down within a foot or two of your plants. What is the air like in there... temps, humidity etc.?

I agree. Have to admit that for such an organized and professional looking grow those plants just don't look right. Far too spindly, loppy and stretched for veg stage.

the ScrOG Cave. cigar box is a stealth carbon filter.

This is my three plant sog before a new strain. It has a cfl veg space and a 150w hps bloom space.

Looking good everyone

Thank you to everyone that has joined in on my lil thread I started the multiple ideas and setups should give great ideas to new growers that wonder upon this thread

Again thank you all and keep up the good work and spread the word to everyone to drop by and post there rooms

Very nice then. I know how it goes when shit goes wrong so thumbs up anyway. I like to keep my 1K watt lamp around 18 inches from the tops as long as the air moving through the tube is cooling the light well enough. It simply penetrates to the lower branches better. Are you concerned about height since the lights are fixed where you have hung them? I'll be sure to check out your journal.

Heres a 4x4 Self automated 1K Sealed/Co2/ac/heater/dehumidifyer/ Dedicated 2 fan set up.....

And This is my Inside 4x8 Tent grow 2K Open Loop/ One 8" inline for exhaust, passive intake,cooling lights and Co2 air exchange. I also have a 4"inline to help suplement the passive intake with cold winter air from outside through hepa filter....... thats it nothing else beside some small ventalation fans....

my little room :0

Looking good footclan

Rollonesmokeone it's good to see a single plant setup in here

Wednesday I will post new pics of my tent n setup I have new fans coming so I'm going to arrange differently

Want to see my grow? .. 1st grow actually.. they were vegging in the video but are now flipped to flower as of yesterday.

Thanks; i found it easier to do a video journal than type things up and upload photos etc.. all i have to do is record; once done upload it and post up a link. simple.

and the viewers appreciate! lol.. good for the stoners attention spans lmao.

yeah height is the only restriction i face . building my SCROG now it will be up on the new post hopefully what everyone says is true.

Footclan your setups are awesome . what was that computer program looking thing?

this was my grow room last winter and the first complete grow i ever pulled off. the bottom left plant is a C99 male spraying half a dozen C99 gals, a haze skunk, an LSD and a couple full moons that didn't start flowering until i harvested everything else. i was also starting some 8 miles highs and UFOs including onyx and lemon skunk.


the new spare room i have is smaller and will be crowded, but will have a bunch of improvements including the addition of a 400w sodium, a REAL duct fan, a DIY carbon scrubber and i'll be hanging 3X3 SCROG screens from the 2x4 frames the lights are hanging from now.

right now, i'm just starting plants under shop lights, but i'll take some pics of the full rig when i put it all together in a few weeks. while not a pic of the room, this is what's in it right now with more starters being added and it was actually taken in the room. what's a grow room without plants, right?

oh... i found a couple "action shots" from my room

here's the inner liner i put over my window to try and tame the light leaks the mylar bubble pack insulation i put over it wasn't covering. it's hard to get a light tight seal on spackled walls without using duct tape which will stain the walls. masking tape doesn't stick to the walls worth shit and i learned my lesson about trying to bend the insulation flush using thumbtacks that will break your fingers before letting you tack it up. the cardboard "inner liner" STILL wasn't good enough to stop leakage either. i had to line the edges of this with aluminum foil taped to the wall. next time, i'm going to build a dedicated wood frame that has the leverage to push the insulation firmly against the window, yet be easy to tear down if necessary if the landlord decides to be nosy like my last REALLY ANNOYING one that was constantly making bogus excuses to invade my privacy. right now, i just have the insulation free standing with boxes on each side of the window pushing the sides flush with a couple 2x4s resting on my light frame butted up against it in the middle towards the top. whenever i bump the insulation, you can hear all the foil inside rustle. there's a gap about 1 inch on top now that was only about 1/8" at first, but there's no visible light leakage outside and very little inside during the day.


and here's my humidity dome that's incubating the last beans i dropped in cocoa coir pellets or peat moss for the low viability C99 crosses i harvested too early last year. i'm totally convinced now that the cold in my previous room was what was keeping many of my beans from popping & sprouting. everything takes of like a mofo in a nice warm humidity dome. it was a very worthwhile investment i intend to use every time i drop seeds in the future. it doesn't just boost sprouting rates, it speeds them up too.


i'll get back to you with the grow gear when it's time to start pulling everything out from under the shop lights and warm the big boys up. i'm jealous of those that own their own homes and that can get away with nailing insulation up and building permanent installations and not sweating nosy neighbors that share walls, floors or ceilings in your business.

he has a programmable logic controller (plc) wired up to control the room. Think super duper environmental controller. The controller takes temp, humidity, water level, light, etc. as inputs, makes decisions according to the logic he programs, and then turns on/off his a/c, dehumidifier, etc. to maintain the absolute ideal conditions. The pc is wired up to the controller so he can monitor conditions, modify the program, etc. Awesome!
