Yea those do look quite uniform, spaced out nice and even going into bloom. I cant wait to see some Banner bud shots.
nice..now for the magic to start.I topped every single one this time at around week 2. I didn't do it again because the
cut I made seemed to create perfect bushes and I don't want to mess with em. These
are some of the most perfectly postured and profiled plants I've grown.
Very nice. What kind of AC do you run? Mini-split? If yes, a 14,000 BTU should be able to easily handleGreat thread Shrubs.
Our setups are very similar. I have a sealed room with 2 x 1000w HPS running on a 220V dedicated circuit. Dedicated AC and Co2 identical to yours. Love that simple co2 system. Same can fan too.
Although, I went 1 step further and added vented 6" cool tubes. I completely sealed the line that runs into the sealed room, into the lights and out of the room. Then I added a y splitter to my basement laundry dryer vent. Before the y vent I placed a 6" vortex that sucks air through the whole length of ducting, about 30 feet. I know thats crazy long but it helps make my 14k BTU ac run very little. To smell proof the cool tube ducting in the room so it cant suck smell into the line and then escape when it hits back pressure at the "Y", I used a whole roll of cling wrap to cover and recover and recover all the ducting in the room. All around the lights and cool tubes I used metal ducting tape, and I taped the shit out of it. No smell escapes into that line, hot air simply exhausts out my dryer vent into the backyard.
The other end of the ducting line starts at the open end of my 600w MH cool tube in the small veg room. So my little 6" vortex sucks cool basement air through an open end of a cool tube, then through the flower room wall, loop through 2 more cool tubes and out the other side of the room. Then goes under my stairs and into the vortex itself, then the Y and outside. That air suction in the veg room cool tube is enough to remove and clone odours, except for the stinkiest of plants. But so far the rest of my house is smell free.
Anyway, the reason for my small book in your thread
I'm debating on not using my cool tube track for the next few cycles, and letting the dedicated ac do all the work.
I'm licensed but I don't like the flex ducting running through my basement and a vortex in my laundry room. Looks getto Plus this setup creates back pressure at the Y splitter which cant be good for the vortex itself nor my dryer.
I'll see what the electricity bill has to say about it. However my AC exhausts in the basement so that hot air might offset my heating bill this winter......cold up here in Canada eh
PS. I switched to 5gal buckets and never looked back.
Awesome grow!!
Yea, they'll be blowin up, couple days in and they are really showing me some growth already.Can't wait to see what happens in the next 8 weeks!!
I've got a Mitsubishi 9000Btu heat pump (AC and heat) rated at 20 SEER. Brand new as of last spring from Mitsubishi directly..with all the Platinum Enzyme and smell filter crap add-ons on it!Very nice. What kind of AC do you run? Mini-split? If yes, a 14,000 BTU should be able to easily handle
the load. My 12,000BTU is handling 3x 600 Watts and could definitely handle one more. Although my AC
unit is a 20 SEER rating. It is 96% energy efficient, I received a tax credit for the purchase. If you're using
a different type of AC such as a window unit or ducted hose like single or dual you are only around 50-60%
energy efficient, and the ducted lights will help you keep the costs low. My monthly energy has been around 150
as of late.
I have a dual hose style. My next house will be fitted with a mini split, for now this monster dual hose does the job. I'm new to sealed room growing, but the results are very impressive when everything is dialed in. I think I'm better to keep the cool tube system running.Very nice. What kind of AC do you run?
