lol thats the mix before i add 45 more gallons h2o and yes it does look like tar lol, i was thinking as i was mixing it up it reminded me of grape koolaid lol :). The DM is def the buiz. I mixed this particular batch at 1200 ppm of grow A & B and 100 ml zone and ph at 5.8 and and and haha all is good. Im stoned lol.

Ive been learning how to keep a good batch of nutes in tip top shape for 2 weeks at a time now so i guess im getting my cherry popped like a mofo learning hydro, Its fun

Thanks TJP and Bassman Yep things are coming right along. Today i added another light as the canopy has spilled over the 4 by 8 foot print for my 2 600 watters. Having a cold snap in my region so ive added a bare bulb 1000 watt HPS. So far so good the light is keeping things cozy. A few pics to come

I like the use of the sheet of metal for reflectance when you are not in there tending to them. What are the wooden boxes on either side?

I doubt its the most energy efficient method in the world but it does work. Most people will hook their carbon filter up inline with their cooltube exhaust fan ect... Normally so would i but i just like to overdo shit sometimes haha, And i really needed a good hardcore air scrubber. My only problem is i cant cut out 8" holes in mt walls for the exhaust ducting. I already had 4" ducting installed when i upgraded but an 8" fan. A fan that big would make 4" ducting howl like a mother fucker. Too many cfm, and with a speed controller the loud buzz sounds almost like a magnetic ballast running. I do try to keep my room legit and very discreet noise and smell wize ;)

Now this setup still aint cutting all the smell and im also running an O-zone gen on its lowest setting. The 8" phresh filter works pretty damn good but the ozone takes care of what the filter cant handle. I tell ya its going to get real smelly over here hahaha. :peace: 1BMM
I'm using an Ozone gen over at the new place since I didn't want to buy another filter. I already had the Ozone gen from a craigslist deal so I mounted it to a box that houses my big exhaust fan and stuck a tube from the gen into the box. The box has a duct going into it from each tent and the intake vents at the bottom of the tents are wide open so all of the heated, smelly air from the 1K scrog get's pulled through the tents and into the box where it's cleansed by the Ozone gen before getting blown out through the garage vent. No filters and no smell outside the garage. It smells inside the garage a little now so I'm sure it's going to stink pretty bad in there in a few more weeks. There's a wall separating the grow part of the garage from the rest of it and you can't smell anything until you open the door to the grow area. I'm just hoping it stays that way ;-)

You're cave is looking bomb right now BTW.

Thanks Bassman, on the left is my ozone generator and on the right is my lil workbench. The sheetmeatal diamond plate is actually my reflector for over the 2 600 watters but space is getting a bit cramped so ive been using it to keep the light leaking outward reflected back in to the garden.

Yep Dez ozone does work and very well. It is toxic in high concentrations to both humans and plants so id be careful with it. This particular gen i have can treat a building of up to 10,000 sq ft at safe levels. Its a larger unit but deep on into flower sometimes a 2-3 hour blast on medium will rid the entire house of ganj smell for days. Ive noticed the smell kinda builds overtime. This unit i have on high holy fuck cant be in the house at all. I run mine onits lowest setting and if i know im going to be away for the day ill turn it up if the smell is getting to be a problem. This is my 2nd grow using ozone as a backup and it works really good for me.

lumen envy lol
haha no doubt westy. I just went in to make sure temps are in check and im still seeing tracers from the brightness of all that light. Temps are at 68 degrees and the plants are loving the extra light. If it ever becomes to hot in there I have a 600 bulb and ballast on standby and im sure ill have to use it soon lol.

Peace 1BMM

I hate looking into the light by accident, it makes me see green or purple shadows for a while.

I was running mine on a timer when I used it at my house so it would turn on for 30 minutes and then off for a few hours, repeat...
It doesn't have different settings like yours, just on or off like the throttle on my bikes, hehe. All or nothing...j/k.

At the new place the Ozone doesn't go into the grow room or any living space so I just leave it on. I actually just turned it on the other day because I walked around the outside of the place and could smell theplants a little when standing next to the exhaust. Up to then there was nothing but a fan pulling the air straight out for everyone to smell, haha. Wasn't much to smell though until about 4-5 days ago.

Looking bright 1BMM, I keep a couple of pairs of old sunglasses handy in my room. with constant exposure to bright lights right in your face (especially when vert) I can only imagine there will be a lot of semi blind indoor growers in a few decades...All is swell in the cave.

Peace bru, DST

Good Thinking D. Yeah its not much better than looking into the sun burn up ya retnas. Old sun shades, check:) Oooooohh and we have Rom Timewarp Spluff as of this morning. Just a few branches have spluffed. I think i better let him go a few more days before chopping and hanging upside down. I think i may have chopped mr TW to early but i still got some pollen from him.

Peace 1BMM

Hey bro... plants are looing good. I saw your soup and thought of the stuff I read on the DM website. Even before I read what they said, I had seen that you should never add concentrated nutes to eachother... they react somehow. One thing they say on their website: Never mix part A and part B undiluted! Always add separately to water.

Anyways, here the link to how they say to do it.

Hey Donny. Naw im not perpetual. Id like to be but i think im going to take a break from growing after this round. Just to much shit going on in life and need to get out of the city. Thats my goal for now anyways. I guess im just getting tired of living paranoid all the fekkin time lol.

Anyhows I just went and tended the ladies and they are starting to bud up nicely. Both of my males have fianlly blew their goo so im near done with them.

I didnt take any pics cause the lights are on and its nearly impossible to see in there hahah. Fucking bright!!!!. Even as i tried for a flat sog the garden is taking on a vertical cone shape around the cooltube kinda weird. I think im going vert from here out when i get rolling in my new spot. Ill keep the updates coming. Peace 1BMM
