both rooms are lookin great. how many plants total in each room? two 1000's in your place right?
Thanks NB, the flowering room at my house will have 24 plants at capacity, and I'm runnin 3 600 watts rather than thousands.

At the warehouse there will be 156 flowering plants under 24,000 watts.

Spent about 4 hours pruning these bushes last night. I took a ton foliage off and you can't even really tell. You can notice when comparing to other unpruned plants. But I'm excited to see the productivity off the pruned ladies.

Had to grab a dehumidifier, night time humidity was killing me.

Grabbed a 70 pint/day frigidaire unit which has been beasting through my room.
Humidity is now constantly 35%-40% in the flower room


Day 14 flower, or week 2 day 7

The plants have grown to 30 inches so far, I figure they'll get to about 38 inches.

Week 3 day 3

I went out of town for a couple days, left for Austin on Friday and just got back tonight, when I left the plants were about 32-33 inches, now they're 35-37 and looking better than ever. A nice constant environment and this controlled supplement CO2 has played a major role in this newly seen growth, remember I flowered these plants at 12-13 inches.



Pics of the veggies and more of the warehouse tomorrow

The veg room at the warehouse. I fabricated the walls using galvanized metal studs. And then drilling
Purple board (fungus/moisture resistant drywall) to it, and then stapling and tape sealing panda poly to it.

The door will be sealed using velcro tape and and i will be overlapping all poly edges by 12 inches to ensure a fully sealed environment.



I will be constructing raised beds, one 4x8 to veg 40 plants, and one 4x4 to house 2-3 mothers. Two 1kw mh's will provide the light in this 10x12 space.



Shes gettin closed in, il be finishdd with the walls today, and will hopefully start on the beds today or tomorrow. Its great having this as my full time job

I highly appreciate the words, and I'm so excited because this past years worth of practice has really taught me a lot of things I thought I knew. Its only the beginning.

Yes sir, I have a great source on a wide variety of strains. Including a whole resdog section, so Im really trying to make the most of it.
I will be harvesting once a month, this new construction has set me back again on the whole perpetual, i had two harvests in 2 months, giving me a total of 20 ounces in two months, which worked out well. But when im rockin the fully perpetual here in my newly designed room with all the great new equipment, i should be pullin a pound and a half per month just out of this room at my house.


The warehouse on the other hand...hehe, that place will deserve it's own thread.

Finished the 4x8 raised bed for the warehouse. Thought id show the specs.

The 4x4 legs are 17" tall, allowing for an inch gap between the
drain of the tray and a standard 5 gallon bucket to catch run off.

I think it only took me 30 minutes to put together, very simple, very efficient.


And the tray rests perfectly


I think I will be placing a multiple shelved rack on the opposite wall with
my generations of veggies/clones being stacked. For lighting i will be adding another
1000 watt, and using T5HO racks for the clones/veggies

You may want to add some angle braces from the 4x4 to the 2x4 to add stability to the table. This is permanent,correct? Will this table be holding a lot of weight? Looks good, sick space to be able to grow.

It's really quite stable, i got up on it and comfortably walked around all over it.

It'll be holding 72 veggies in 5x5's
