    $7000 Budget - 3000 Watt Basement CGE Setup

    I definitely topped all of them. I'm happy with the results so I've continued to top my other 6 plants that have been vegging for over 5 weeks.

    $7000 Budget - 3000 Watt Basement CGE Setup

    They were in veg for a little over 2 months. I let them go that long because I didn't have my flower room setup when I first moved to this house. I wove 4 of my plants plants into a scrog and just for fun I left one plant out of the scrog to see how it would do compared to the others. So far I...

    $7000 Budget - 3000 Watt Basement CGE Setup

    So I'm on day 54 of flower. I have been flushing for the last 3 days with clearex. I recently installed a 25,000 btu AC window unit that I converted into a portable. It works amazing! One thing though, I highly recommend insulated ducting! That stuff is the shit! I was able to find 25' rolls at...

    Is the yellowing I'm experiencing for the fan leaves at 5 weeks normal? Pics posted above.

    This is the beginning of week 5. I just starting using molasses during the last feeding (1 tbs per gallon) and I was impressed by how well the plant seemed to respond. So far I can say I like growing with a screen vs. just a supercropped plant. I'm very impressed with the bud size, even canopy...

    Installed the HEPA filter and it ended up raising temps, so I installed my recently purchased 12" 1100 CFM fan. Temps are staying stable in the High 70's Low 80's. Humidity is in the 35-45% range. They're almost into their 4th week of flower and the leaf around the buds are looking nice and...

    11 Days into flower! :) I supercropped them a couple days ago, and these ladies recovered almost instantly! I pretty much doubled the number of colas within 2 weeks after the beginning of flower. I've done a lot of reading of other peoples grows that have supercropped during flower with great...

    Finally a pic with the light off. Plants need to be watered. Lookin droopy. Day 3 of flower. Temps are climbing up to 81 at some points during lights on. Looking into getting a bigger extractor fan. Possibly a 12" Vortex instead of my 8" HO Can. I'm gonna have my dehumidifier setup on a timer...

    It's gonna get even more ridiculous. I plan on adding another 2000 watts within the net 4 weeks. Just picked up a 70 pint dehumidifier from Lowes today. My RH was around 46% lights on and 52% lights off even with all my fans going.. Temperatures are at 75 with 3000 watts now, so I'm wondering...

    I flip the switch tomorrow! :-D I am so excited! It's gonna be interesting to see the difference in yield in the scrogged plants vs the one supercropped. The supercropped plant is in a 7 gal plastic container and the scrogged plants are in 10 gal smart wool pots.

    I actually am not venting through the chimney, I am venting out my window. Unfortunately I don't have the space or the time yet to mix my own soil. I plan to for future grows when I have more of a workspace. :)

    $7000 Budget - 3000 Watt Basement CGE Setup

    So I ran into some difficulties with my plants. They were showing signs of nutrient deficiency and after doing some research I found out that since I'm using reverse osmosis, I need to use calmag to replenish the Calcium and Magnesium removed by my filter. Everytime I feed my plants, I try to...

    Thanks for the words of encouragement! It has taken a lot of hard work and saving and stressing to finally get this whole thing underway. I said to myself if I'm gonna do this, I might as well make a decent attempt at doing it right. My grow room has become my new playground. I'm in there...

    Okay I decided that they were gonna stretch way too much, so I went ahead and put them into a 4x4(2) scrog lol. I transplanted them into 10 Gal Smart wool pots. These pots are great! Highly recommended! Gonna be replacing the ducting with insulated ducting. Waiting for my Can Max 8" Fan to come...

    That's amazing. If I had known this before, I would've gone that route. I already have my ballasts and reflectors. I'm interested to see how temps look with my fans going.

    You know what, good point! lol Come to think of it, it would even be a lot easier just putting a new hole in the chimney with a grinder and patching it up later. How would I attach that transition to the chimney? do I use some sort of caulking? Gonna do a google search on it. Looks like it's off...

    Unfortunately I am only renting this house, so I cannot make any permanent modifications. :( But otherwise, if it was my house I would definitely do it your way. I'm gonna have to try it with a wye. Of course I'm going to need to test and make sure that there isn't any backpressure where I will...

    I ended picking up some Panda film! :) I also rearranged my veg room to make more space for my flowering room. I have a ventilation issue I need help with. I am trying to exhaust my room and lights through my chimney. I was wanting to use a 8" Tee configured as so: Chimney < (Tee) < Exhaust...

    Do they sell Panda film primarily in hydro shops, or is it something you can pick up at home depot? I've decided to pull air from the outside of my house, through my lights, into an extra unused chimney. I decided to do without co2 since it would be next to impossible to get the room completely...
