Hi everyone.
Firstly i would just like to mention to all tho's who were with me for my first grow, a big thank you for all your comments and advise it was muchly apreciated.
So here I go with my next grow...
New room set up.
So after my last grow i decided that i would uptake the black/white pvc and the gaffa tape i had on the floor as this was not able to contain any excess water from the runoff or from flushing. When i took up the said gaffa and pvc i was shocked at what state the carpet looked like. It was black with mold and sodden damp. So i ripped out the carpet and used Jays fluid to scrub the floor and walls. I used my dehumidifier to completly dry up the room, then i repeted the process 2 more times to make sure no nasty's were being left behind.
I then set about building a drainage system, Using timber to build a frame and pvc to catch any water. ( see pics ) I set this at an angle down to the entrance of the room and then used a container i have to collect the run off. ( see pics ) I will be using a pump to flush the plants in the room and another pump in the container to pump out the run off to my outside garden. I then built in a level platform from (tanalised) <<< water proofed timber for the pots to sit on. ( see pics ) Making the frame has made it a dam sight easier to clean the room too.
I purchased 2 new 6 inch cooltubes to fit the room and have them hanging with yoyo's. ( see pics ) This is all connected with 6 inch flex foil duct and then i have installed insulated duct in the attic to mask any heat. ( see pics ) I have kept one of my older 600w lights as this keeps the room at the perfect temp. but i may change this during my grow to another cooltube at some point.
I have moved out my exhaust fan and fitted them on one of the rafters in the attic. ( see pics ) and also changed the positioning of my AC unit intake ducts so that they can have a better spread of oxygen. ( see pics ) I removed the noisy 4" intakes altogether.
I have installed a technics Power star 8 way transformer in the attic and have the plugs from my lights and fans out of the room. ((( Safety first and that )))
I then went and purchased a Hortibox 1.2m x 1.2m x 2m tent ( see pics )so i can use it for cloning and veging. I built in a timber frame and added a T5 light to the top and 2 of my blue 125w CFL to the bottom. ( see pics ) I will be adding another 125w CFL to the bottom when the time come. And a fan. I also purchased 3 propagation tents 1 large 2 small for my clones to sit in. ( see pics ) All three are heated tents to help along with the cloning process.
I purchased some Barneys farm fem Blue cheese seeds x10 about 8-9 weeks ago. ( see pics ) Ans as soon as they arrived i was quick to germ them and pot the 7 that that broke shell in to small pots of coco. And over the last 7-8 weeks have veged them to a copable size for cloning. ( see pics ). 7 days ago i took 150 clones from them and they are now sat in the tents gaining a root mass. In 1 more weeks time i will move the clones to the room to start veg stage. Im not sure how many or how long im going to veg as yet but i will cross that bridge when i come to it. Im also going to take another 200 clones from the mothers in a weeks time and then i will be growing out the mothers with there daughters, but keeping 5-6 of the clones behind as 2nd gen mothers.
I have also just picked up 5 PPP clones from my brother who did not take care of them, they look in a sorry state but i think with some TLC i could bring them back and try keeping them as mothers too.... ( hoping anyway )
I also have some new 13 liter square pots and will be using these for ether 1 plant or splitting the pots with plastic in to 2 or 4 compartments. This is sort of an experiment to see what i can yield from SOG method V's veging... ( see pics )
Also i have some potting containers that hold 28 plant each. I will be using these for the clones when they show root. Then its just a case of transplanting to larger pots. I will also use some of these container for a friend who wants 1000's of clones. and at £6 a clone, well you work it out...
I have taken a picture of my nutes and as you can see i'm sticking with the CANNA products line. I think i should have enought to be going on with for a while....lol
Im Using CANNA pro Coco, perlight and clay pellets as i did in my first grow.
Ok so thanks for checking me out and i hope you come along for the ride. I will be updating on a regular basis and adding pics of everything new, developments, changes. etc etc...
All comments good or bad welcomed...
