I put some pics down below guys, Please look, enjoy, and comment away
Per request I am going to share a bit about my growing techniques and all that want to get involved and offer any comments, cruise along.... I am currently flowering my two rooms and will provide pictures once I remember how to get them on here... Let me tell you all up front that I rarely post on here, so am gonna be a bit slow at first.... Ok, my rooms, one is almost 2 weeks in and one is a few days short of 6 weeks... dimensions of rooms are roughly 8x8x7.5 ceiling height.... they are both lit by 2 1000w Lumatek dig ballasts running HPS Hort bulbs and a 600w Lumatek dig in between the thousands... I always run Mh in the middle and in one room I have had to substitute my 600 with another 1000MH because I had no more 6's and did not want to wait to get another bulb, so extra ballast went to use.. (VERY HANDY TO HAVE BACK UP LIGHTING and pumps)... ok, back to the room, all lights are incased in cool tubes and constantly cooled by a 8" Vortex.... I use 6" Vortex fans to bring air from outside into my rooms and I exhaust both rooms with 8" vortex.... I have fans mounted on ceiling and vand sitting low on ground to move air up and own in room... try to keep it like a little tornado of wind in there and they run on 30 minutes off and on because they do not oscillate and burn bad when left blowing directly at the plants..... My Hydro system, was self made and is constructed out of 6 inch PVC into 2 eight foot Octagons that sit top and bottom roughly 3.5feet apart.... I am running NFT this time but have been running aero in it and just want to see if there is a difference... the micro sprayers get clogged so easy, so we will see but so far results are similar..... the NFT/ Aero systems are powered by 2x2400GPH PMaster Mags, one for top and one for bottom in each room.... My reservoirs are outside my rooms and both rooms are air tight.... this helps keep my water much cooler, but I add frozen water bottles to my reservoirs all day at some times of the year.... I would get a chiller, but electricity is already maxed between all 3 areas.... anyway, the system has a pump rez and a catch rez the way I built it, so I have a seperate mag pump in catch that returns water back to pump, keeps my water mixing and was easiest for me to do with what I had to work.... Pump rez has two big air stones and powerhead to circulate water, catch has no stones, just powerhead.... Ok guys, I think that is about it, oh yeah nutes... I run AN sensi grow with calmag add for vedge and for flower I am running connoisseur and bud candy and calcium sulphate... well if you have any comments, let'em rip and I will try and figure out how to get pics off Iphone and onto here so you guys can get a little better idea of what's happening in my world.... until next time, keep it smiley
