my 3 stages of flower

[Baldy979]

My set up is
1 4x2x4 commercial refrigerator in working condition.
1 8 pint dehumidifier
1 25 # co2 tank
1 CAP lights, humidity, co2 controller and temperature.
circulating fans
3 five gallon dwc pots
1 1000w HPS digital light for flowering
1 600 w MH Light for veg
1 In line fan for cooling my lights
odor controll system (ozone generator)
And your BOTANICARE pro recipe.

Also some easy strains to grow for firs timers.
Any suggestions would help.
Very new to this of growing marijuana.

spring for a co2 generator as soon as you can, just a lot easier! Whatcha use the fridge for?

 

[Baldy979]

I'm using the refrigerator as my growing cabinet and to keep the plants cool since where I live if really hot and humid. I plugging the fridge in a temperature controller and installing a dehumidifier in it.

not too sure about that. have you actually tested how long it takes a fridge to cool down without a heat source in it? and not too mention the added heat of the dehummie. you can try, and if it works great for you, but i dont see the grow being successful.

 

[Baldy979]

It takes the fridge to go From being off in a kitchen 96-100 degrees to 32 degrees about 10 minutes. It's a commercial grade fridge that came out of my restaurant. It's in full working condition I just needed a bigger fridge for my kitchen. This pic is the same exact fridge I want to use its about 49 cubic feet. It's the true t49 look it up on YouTube they have a nice video on it.

now thats a different fucking story, all together.

 

[OLD DUDE]

I kinda wondered if that was what you were doing hope it works for ya!!! And the bottle co2 might be the best for the fridge after all

Gzz how much is tht gonna cost,oh i see its a upgrade for Resturant.But still it has be worth alot?Commercial anything is expensive,Well except Weed,but you know what i mean.

 

[Baldy979]

When I bought the fridge last year it was almost $3000 but now I have no use for it. So ima try to experiment.

Hello SS I'm still planning a Vertical version of this in my 5x5 tent. Does a 3 tier set up on each side of the bulb sound good to you? If so should I stagger the fence post like a stadium grow or should I run them all flat directly above each other?

man,

I go in the v room today, and notice 70 percent of my res in empty... Its been like that for 2 days. I thought, " oh well. they must be drinking alot"

Then it hit me lmao, I open up one of the totes and water is in it all the way to the brink, flooded. Another hour and the whole place would have flooded. and everything would have went to shit... haha

I moved the slutz tothe f room today..

The roots get too big in the v room and it clogged the the drain. I had one kberry get so massive the roots covered the entire bottom. I couldnt even get the plants out of the sites when i transferred, I had to cut half their root mass when i transplanted.. I guess am going to give them a week less of veg...

Its pretty much on the Kberrys that are getting such massive roots...

there was some damage from the clog, because the totes were filled with water to the brink and there was no water movement. the roots were just sitting in water... I turned off the entire system to alow the water to drain out slowly. it took 24 hours. LOL

but they survived... I am worried these things are gonna get too big in flowering. and they will hit my hps lights... we'll see...

ridiculous system.... growth is unreal...

 

[superstoner1]

i had that happen a couple of times. im like, where the fuck is all the water going? thats why, every 4-5 days, i lift each plant in veg up to keep roots seperated and drain free.

i am thinking maybe some sort of netting cover over the drain hole might solve this problem, but still the roots get way too big after a few weeks...

there was this one k berry that went nuts. I cloned the shit out of it...

 

[oceangreen]

but yea, moving, transfering and maintinence, cleaning is fairly straight forward. You were right, SS, once you get your dails down. its just an hour or 2 of work a day to run the whole thing.

Legit, very happy I went this route, 6 months in

lol split ac and water chiller would have worked just fine, what is this guy on...

 

[superstoner1]

one thing everybody that grows needs to do is make a maintenance schedule. daily, weekly, monthly, bi-annual, annual. ac and dehumidifiers especially should be scheduled for deep cleaning every 3-6 months. all that sticky residue from the plants gets in the air and coats the coils which acts like a magnet for dirt and dust. spent two hours yesterday(because i forgot to put it on list) cleaning my inside mini split. room was 10* cooler all night after cleaning. get a spray foam coil cleaner and you can watch the yellow sticky stuff just raise up and flow off.
