I have recently decided to build a hidden grow room consisting of three small rooms. I simply wanted my ideal in print for better clarity. The whole house itself is maintained really well (for security). I will be constructing using plywood,dry wall, and insulation. A portion of the kitchen (which contains the main entrance to the flowering room) will be closed off. Also creating the veg/clone room that will be covered in fluorescents. Since the space is relatively small in the flowering room, I will just be using (2) 600 watt Hps lights. The old entrance to the kitchen now covered up, and the new one on the other side of the wall, I'm ready to go to the other side of the house and close that off too. Creating yet another room that I will make out to be a computer room. The entrance to the grow will be through a vent underneath the desk. I don't mind crawling every once in awhile. The venting will be well taken care of with a window mounted A/c with auto temperature control. I want to run everything as cool as possible. The carbon scrubber and the outtake go straight into the attic. Which has a secret entrance aswell. I simply cover the window in the grow room with shades and then cut a hole in the plywood to custom fit the A/c. Insuring that no light nor smell can penetrate through the window. I'll have the ballasts mounted on shelves and my fans hanging from the ceilings. Attaching to the cold water in the bathroom next door supply's the drinks. Run these lines under the floor and up to your grow. In this case however, I will be taking the floors out of the flower room and replacing them with screen. This will let the run off easily hit the dirt. Rendering it worry free. Keep in mind that this is just in a nutshell and my more intimate designs will be kept private. Utilizing the SOG method with as many plants as possible. The computer room will be the control station of operations. Everything will be monitored from there while also concealing the location. In the attic above the grow I will apply thermal protection. In the future the room itself will grow bigger downward and out. Creating a lot of space to grow. The newly built extension of the room will be covered up by a brand new back deck. Growing aeroponically for the first foot and then in pots with dirt. I don't get all crazy about the nutes anymore. I simply use whats available in moderation. Usually a couple things I would like to keep private. Understand that this room is of course not ready and as of right now I have no camera. I have no clue when or how, but I shall post interesting pictures sometime in the future. This plan will be completed within the next 6 months. Also keep in mind this is fictional and won't actually take place.

p.s I would be curious to hear someone else's creative juices flow for a little while. Us growers need to be ahead of the pack. You do know where in a fight for the right.

Scribing to this one won't get you to far, its pretty much closed. Well, getting ready to take clones tomorrow, gotta go check DirtBag Brians formula for cloning success again, I just picked up some of the Hygrozyme he recommends. Since he has 100% success and mine was only 85% there is room for improvement. VV

I find your journal
and it already has 39 pages.



Thanks for the article.

It was a great honor for me to fly those old men around in the 9 oh 9

Every man choked up at the feelings the plane brought back,
as we all did
watching those memories moisten the eyes of these American Heros.

Keep em flying !

I paid $350.00 total including the bulbs, some have found them for less. I have not seen a reason to spend more and I have looked at some that were $100.00 more, not $100.00 of difference. VV

I did not have good luck with the BlueBerry, starting with the seeds. Only 4 of the 10 ever made it, two of them were male, if I remember right, and of the two that made it, one had problems by the second or third week.
I have seen others say you need lower nutes early for the BlueBerry. I was running a production line so having special needs did not fit. PeanutButter mentioned to me that the BB is one of the plants that seems to have special property's for the oils he makes, so I pulled the last on I had out of full flowering and revegged it, a process of 3 months so far. Currently top watering, it still does not 'look right'. Some of the more recent leaves are single blade.
Now the NorthernBerry.......let me just say I am continuing to clone that strain. Don't have a clue what the yield will be, I have just about completed the change from 6" square pots to 3 gallon pots, longer veg period etc. not quite DirtBag style yet, I still have the flowering plants on flood and drain tables which limits the height I have available.
Its hard to get yield numbers anymore. I have a couple of patients that primarily ingest Marijuana, they don't need it to be dry, and there seems to be a shortage of Medical Marijuana right now. I have dried and cut enough to give a pretty good estimate of what the 'dry weight' would be, pretty simple, you loss 75% during the drying and curing process, 112 wet grams is fair.
I would not post numbers based on that, I know I am getting more than 2 per plant. These are in the 3 gallon pots but...I transplanted them late, the roots pretty much stayed in the 6" square. Stop laughing DB or I am going to steal the chair. It did stop them from tipping over.
With the passage of the Medical Marihuana Law here, as a Petient/ carecaregiver with 5 patients, I can legally grow up to 72 plants, And MHM laid out that plan. 54 plants in flowering 6 3' x 3' spaces. 9 vegging, 9 new clones, hits just right. Longer in veg than I was running and eliminate the mothers, DirtBag style. I don't think it will take me the same two years to climb this curve. Now if I just had some Northern Lights and Lemon Skunk to go with the Juicy Fruit and Northern Berry....... Pics on Monday, road trip starts at 4:00 today and I still need to review the material for the 'Introductory Class' I will be presenting tonight at the Jackson Compassionate Care Club, then drive to Fife Lake for my Mom's eye Doctor appointment, plan on making room for a mother that is going to a couple of patients in her area, that should keep me awake for the trip.
Well.... I have been known for making long posts.lol VV
