Hello RIU! Its been awhile since my last post. If you have ever followed or seen one of my journals then you know that I was all about the LED life. I tried vipar, Mars II, black dog, and grow blu in that period of time each having its own unique harvest. The main reason for that being that I was growing in my bedroom, and did not have access to an attic or any other place to evacuate the hot air. (no way in hell I was going to use my window that goes out to the porch!) Now it just so happens that my roommate moved out! and rather than move someone in just to lower the bills I am just going to use that spare room to grow. I am starting out small at first then might get up to an 8x8 space. We will start with 5x5.
Setup -
1x1000 watt Hortilux HPS in an air cooled hood
4xCritical Kush clones
1x8 inch Hurricane fan
1x6 inch Hurricane fan
1x8 inch Carbon Filter
I use the 8 inch fan attached to the carbon filter to exhaust all of the air from my tent into the attic. The 6 inch fan is ducted to the air cooled hood, drawing fresh cold air conditioned air from the bedroom, pulling over the bulb and also exhausted into the attic. The setup keeps the room about 70-75 degrees F at all times.(it gets up to about 95 here on a hot day)With the humidity averaging around 60% this time of year.
The tent is 5x5.
I am using a table setup, that lays a sheet of moving water about 2 inches high for the roots to grow in. I have a 20 gallon reservoir sitting underneath a table made out of multiple sheets of styrofoam (insulation) that pumps water into a bunch of PVC pipe with tiny holes drilled into it that shoots onto the table, which then flows to a drain hole and falls back into the res. Easy. Simple. Works great.
I will be using GH 3 part series, with AN additives and a little bit of voodoo juice for bennies.
Water temperature will stay chilled at 68 degrees F. I plan on doing a little training once they get bigger, probably not much just breaking a few branches
This post is from my computer I will put up pictures in an hour or so once I get them on my phone. Feel free to SUB up, and of course I share the love so I will always check out your grow and lend a helping hand whenever I can.
