Baz's 600w HPS Suparoom - AK47 Grow Journal

Thanks its the best way to check a chimney, ive seen gas plumbers checking it like that

Saftey first lol, i get pronoid with new stuff man i used to get paronoid thinking my makeshift cfl rig would mess up and burn my house down, so i double check everthing hance the cctv kit ha ha

There is a powerfull extractor fan fitted directly into the chimney via some ducting and the foam box pictured was built arround it so i can cut holes anywere in that foam box to add extra ducting if needed, its like my master extraction box, even with the fans all switched off the box still draws air out of the room with the chimney effect

The chimney is directly behind the wall that box is fitted to if ya get me

everything looks great baz ! .

Ok the chimney has 2 chambers one with ducting going straight to the house fire down stairs, the second chamber is not in use, it used to go to the master bedroom which about 20 years ago would of been used by a bedroom fire (pre central heating)

So basicaly its just a useless piece of ducting which i cut through and pulled through the hole in the wall and conected it directly to the exaust fan, and the fan is within that foam box

yea i saw that and edited my post lol ... i guess you saw it b4 i did ?
you seriously made me want to completly re-do my room.
i maybe in a few months .. a little bigger and with drywall .. all framed out and everything. .. alot of work .. !
anyway +rep for getn me thinkin !
-rep for the pain in the ass its gonna be !! .......jk

lmao hey u seen my first cfl grow room, ive been thinking of doing this for a while, man id built it 10 times in my head already before i even opened the loft hatch to look arround

Its all about progress lol

i need moe loot i have a fourth floor on my house that has been closed off for years i is approx. 35x25 feet with 7 foot ceilings and the outside walls are about 5 foot like the A frame. i could get a couple hundred plants in there if i could afford the 20kwatts needed to light it! i might be able to use 10kwatts but it would be great . 5000$usd electric bill might be a prob!

Ohhh ya thats what worried me the spike in the electric lol

Thats why i didn't use all the loft space the extra electric use and the heat issues

Best thing to do is use some of the space like me, so you can work out how to create the perfect growing inviroment then move on when you have mastered that space, thats my plan anyway

Thats why i made it all out of 50 mil insulation foam boards, its like using leggo lol

Any cuts or holes you can cut with a kitchen knife & easily rejig things or take it all down when ever ya want

we have that stuff in the states too i think in 1/2-3/4-1-1.5-2.0 inches i guess i could use the different thicknesses for diff things plus its fire rated! great stuff baz im thinking!!!

yea thats why i sused it and the silver finish can only be good, alot of people will tell you it will act like tinfoil and create hotspots, but many say if your gonna use tinfoil, use the dull side, and thats what this acts like

Go for it bro, ive just completed this, so if ya need any help, just pm me bud

cool thanks! im not afraid of hotspots i have never seen them to be honest my boy has 1000watt mh in a closet lined with foil and its hot in there but never hotspotting i think this might be one of thosethings you ONLY HEAR ABOUT. have you ever seen hotspots? its not like the foil can magnify so how could it get any hotter than the actual light?? example a flashlight into a mirror gets weaker after it hits the mirror ,know what i mean how could foil make the light hotter? an old wives tail if you ask me!
but im no scientist.hahahhahaha

just vaped again i really like it kinda wierd taste my nugs ar only midgrade right now i bet with killer herbs the taste wold be amazing! i also made a lightbulb vaporizer before just to try it.vids on youtube here is a pic of both the light bulb you just burn the herb with a lighter kinda cool to get the effect before you build a electric one. they charge like 500usd for these vaporizers and all they are is a soldiering iron a dimmer and a therm-readout..

Damn dude, you have really thought this one out. Very nice work! This one will be fun. I hope you go through with the comparison to cfl's it will be good for people to see the hid-ifference.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging comments

I Have had to mount one of the cctv cameras outside the room pointing on to another digi thermometer with a probe going into the room, this way i can get a temp reading when the hps is on or off

Ok here are the pics..

Pics 2 to 7 are the ventilation system from the two intake points to the chimney extraction, and the last 3 are the cctv set up the last 2 are of the external cctv mount and thermometer.


Oh and all 9 have broke through the soil now, so this is where the fun beggins

Dude, that grow room is looking sick. You have so much potential now. You really are growing with the big boys. Thats some nice shit! I wish I had that much space. Can't wait til I get me house!

You should be able to produce some big ol girls. Bigger than what mine will be! I dont have nearly the space as you. This is going to be great.

And do I smell a marijuana grow timelapse?

nice buddy looks great
these are going to go great for u now

You've given me a boot up the arse fir sure mate , sadly the motivation will need to wait till iv some fookin funds again . .

and i know . . . youve done helfy work, and spent enough blabs but soemthing for the future . . .
being the attic n all slam some solar panels up, get a couple car batts - invertor ti 240 ( seen some deals in maplins bla bla for cheap as) or at that some 12v fans etc possibly . .
its been an idea of mine to help nature contribute as much as possible for the fact my surroundings are baron- 1day the wind farm and waterwheel aswell haha

hey chaz how do u get that elite there?

i paid man . . its actually pretty cheapness but gives u better space for albums and whatnot aswell as a few other funky things like the classified section ( as in the wanted/for sale not restricted access- though it is that too)
to be honest i was just bored of being a stranger , though i was only a couple posts away and it still left me a stranger . .i dont regret gettin it

what do u mean classified section? what where u can find people with clones nd shit like that around u. like a craigs list or ebay?
and how much it cost?
