Here is my tent 7x7x7 that I have set-up in a spare bedroom. Right now I am running 2 600 hps with 8'inch cooling, and a huge 8' filter with a hydrofarm 750 cfm fan. For intake I am using a '6 430 cfm hydrofarm fan that is ducted to a window bringing fresh outside air inside my tent. All my fans are on speed controls so I can keep lights on temps at an optimum 73 degrees. Right now I have some LSD at about 33 days into flower.
that shit is pimpin. want to do the same thing. will 4 600s fit in it with aircooled hoods?

Thanks, Yea, I could fit 4 and I would do it, but under my state medical program, I am only allowed to have 4 plants flowering at a time so no need for more then 2 hoods.

So I figured it would be fun to do s egg hunt in the gardens for an Easter celebration

Hide eggs in the garden and take photos or videos and see if people can find them you gotta make sure you hide them good don't wanting to be to easy for everyone

This should be interesting to see how people hide them


Happy Easter everyone
Pedro

I will post up some pics later with some hidden eggs
You never know the Easter bunny might stop by ..... Lol

Here's some pics of my clone room, flower room and drying cab. the drying cab and flower room are connected to a scrubbed exhaust for stealth. Running 2000w of HPS goodness.

Hey i have a large attic so i decided to build a grow room its about 7ft x 8ft, i basically used 2x1.5 inch timber with mylar for the inside, and i had 2 rolls of foam underlay that is used for putting under hardwood floors.

so i used that on the outside of the timbers. for insulation etc.

This is only a fraction of the space i have up there (the Attic is fooking massive really high aswell) but i couldn't afford to build anything bigger for now.
But hopefully when i get a bit more cash i will build another room, so i have one for Veg and one for Flowering.

Im using a 600watt MH i have a HPS ready to go for flowering. i know its over kill for 4 plants but i planed to have more, and i initially planted 10 seeds but made a total balls up of it, and only ended up with 4 seedlings, was totally my mistake though. But i learned Allot from it.

The Smaller of the 2 plants is Super silver Haze and the other 2 are Big Bud xxl
I have another 5 liberty haze that i just planted from seed a couple of days ago.

So far so good, the plants look healthy there about 1 month old atm.

1. Question i would like to ask you guys is should i prune these plants or is it to early to that, if i should prune, where should i cut.

I'd appreciate any tips or advice on that or any comments in general about my setup.

Before I split into two rooms, each room has 12 plants under 6 k light.... 4000 watts HPS, 2000 watts MH

Plants are auto fed in coco "hempy" buckets cw drains

Thanks for the compliments folks :) This room is about 13ft X 18 (thats roughly what I'm using anyhow...) my other room is 12 ft X 16ft. The little one in the middle of the room was just residing there until I had my veg facility ready to populate. This has been the BEST grow I've had to date... and believe me.. I've had a few. This grow could be better tho... my clones had a bad start, having been held in "stasis" for a couple of months in my cold little shed in the back yard. When I harvest this garden I'm going to make some modifications to my buckets. I predict BIG things in the future ;)

Here's my 16x16 VEG ROOM, sealed and using CHHC-4 for environmental control. For HID lighting I'm using 6 x 1k Lumiteks w/ parabolic reflectors. Got the can-filter 100 w/ 8" can fan to keep the air fresh and moving, along with 4 x 18" wall mount oscillating fans. Also have 3 x 60 pint dehumidifiers to keep the humidity in check. Running CO2 @850 ppm. And as you can see I love bamboo sticks..happy growing!

As far as genetics go I'm running the following in this room:

-Green Crack (real deal cut from cecil b, ripe @49 days)
-Strawberry Cough (kushman cut)
-Purple Kush (original cut, doesn't turn purple)
-True ECSD (great vigor, awesome smell, ripe @77 days)
-White Russian (super white, super dense pheno from a buddy of mine)
-Headmaster OG (this one is the cats ass)

This is how I want my setup. I just cant find the electric in an apt to do it this way. I have so much expensive equipment just collecting dust because I cant use it. I didnt get the all inclusive controller CHHC-1 like you did. I got the CPPM-1 and the EVC-2 which work together. I was afraid of popping the breaker on the CHHC-1 so I figured the extra maoney was worth it just in case. I also got two PXM-1 power expanders thank God because Ive needed them. I have the VCG-6 Propane CO2 Generator for the CPPM-1 controller but its just sitting around. I cant seal the room off. One day I will get back to growing the way I used too. Just like you.

this should explain everything about the panel you could possibly want to know about.......



The control system is based on an industrial PLC (programmable logic controller) called momentum. made by Schneider Electric (Modicon for those interested). The unit runs on 24VDC so a power supply is needed. It has 8 discrete inputs and 8 discrete outputs. The analog module has 8 analog inputs and each point is configurable for 0-10 VDC or 4-20mA as required. The outputs have interposing relays as the controllers typically can not handle the currents used in your application. I used one of the software platforms available from Schneider called " proworks". It utilizes a programming style known as LL984 or simply "ladder logic.". It is fairly easy to navigate if you have any industrial programming experience. Novices will find the help files sketchy. This controller, once programmed, is a stand alone system and the unit has a backup battery to retain the program if powered down. It does not have ANY human machine interface. I am using an old home computer as the HMI. It communicates with the PLC via ethernet. The application is generically referred to as SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition). It is a free demo package from Inductive Automation called "Ignition" It is Java based and runs as a webpage. I run it under Firefox. The problem is this demo runs for 2 hours max and then shuts down and must be restarted. Keep in mind that the controller runs continuously without the need of the HMI. The licensed version is pricey ( last I checked it is over 15000.00) yes , really! The programming was tough for me as I had no experience with Java. The program utilizes an SQL database as its backbone. It has almost unlimited potential to build your own graphics or pick from the included library. the trend screens are invaluable for tuning the system and if I used an inexpensive commercially available HMI package, i would have to do without trend analysis. The advantage in using scada is that most computers with 10-100 NIC cards are ready to go with no modification required. You can share this with every one with a request that they please share thier designs with me. I might pick up a few pointers that way.​
Very well written my friend! I have a plc I bought off of ebay a few years ago for this very same purpose! The trouble back then was there simply wasn't a decent selection of sensors (or at least I couldn't find them back then). I've changed my gardening style since then... so don't have the same uses I once had for a plc controlled garden... but maybe I still have a couple of things it can do for me...
