Just wanted to touch base. I have had some medical issues going on and trying to get my new room set up at the same time, so haven't had much time to get on RIU. Anyway, I haven't decided if I am going to start a new journal or not, but wanted to update the progress on my new set-up.
-New additions: 2 ocho reflectors, 10" carbon filter and fan, two 50 gal easy drain reserviors, titan 30 amp sub with timer, 20 pnd c02 tank, titan regulator, tub sink, diy tables on casters, I also put down ply wood on the floors with pond liner over it with a 4" lip around the perimeter incase of spills or flooding, I also picked up a 1500gmh sump pump to drain the reserviors, each res has a circulation pump and along with the flood pump, oh and the 9000BTU AC/dehumidifyer( It looks like I will have to pick up a better dehum)
-I bought a co2 controller/monitor and extra 20 ond co2 tank that should be here this week.
-I still have to put up either mylar or panda( haven't decided yet.
My room is 10x12x12 with a closet that I put the sink in. I have to say, it is so friggin nice having water in the room. I tinted the one window in the room and put up panda film black side out against the glass. I am using 1 gal smart pots filled with coco/perlite and 3 to 4" of mini rockwool cubes in the trays. The reflectors are air cooled in a closed loop to keep the room as sealed as can be with the ac. I have been running about 800ppm co2 during veg. I put the ballasts up on a shelf 9' up to try to keep the heat up on the ceiling.
Current strains are Purple Kush, Mango Kush, Papaya, and Orange Crush Deisel
Anyway here are some pics
