I don't have a shop, hehe, and my lumen output is already considerably high for the space, ill be building a new room pretty soon with 15 lights.

Yeah, at first I was looking for someone to supply and build the room but the cheapest quote I got was around 4k, so I thought fuck it, how hard can it be, and built it my self, haha

Ya seriously I spent 2500 then like another few hundo here and there
But what fucked me is I bought a few grow tents
U just blew up the whole room which is awesome save cash and got more room.

Update: So this week I've hit what looks like some kind of deficiency (Look Here) but I'm hoping it will sort itself out, also, I was stupid and left the co2 off for 2 days but they dont seem to have taken any harm from it.

Looks good. Should benefit from a root booster. Do you have any plans as far as thinning the plant goes? what height do you want to enter flower at?

This system looks so nice and there's so much room to walk around and such, the only thing i dont like is that i'd have to bend down or get on my knees. But it looks so simple. and i love simple.

edit: yeah i'd run a bunch of the same pots in veg, and just do perpetual harvests, just take the pot out and throw in ur new pot, for perpetual harvests!!! LOOKS GOOD MATE!!!

I use Canna Rhizotonic for rooting :) I defoliate aggressively after stretch and have done for years (any who want to bash defoliating, don't do it in my thread please, just leave me be). I'm not sure when I'm going to flower yet, I was planning on a 21 day veg so I'll see how they go over the next week.

Thanks, what you have said is actually my plan and part of the reason I decided to use the autopots in this room as apposed to building my own system which would have been cheaper but would not have given me the mobility this setup gives.

Update: Has been a good week, I have decided to supercrop the ladies and train them to grow away from the centre of the trays and ensure the optimum amount of growing space is used.

Apparently I wasn't rough enough with some of them when I supercropped, about 7 of them decided to straiten themselves back up, I sorted them out tonight. lol.

Here is a stupid problem to have, I want to run the room at around 32-34 degrees, but my AC will only let me set it for 30 and it sits at 29.8 all day everyday, stupid.

Why should you want to have your room at 32-34 degrees? Even though using co2, best is not to run at temps higher then 30 degrees. Light intensity is all that matters in relation to higher concentration co2, not temperature.

Welcome to the RIU. Actually that is not true, the optimum temperature when using cO2 enrichment is between 32-35°. When you're optimising a closed system system like this it's important not to focus on only one aspect of the environment. Yes, light intensity is important, but temperature and humidity are just as important to ensure optimum growth.

Thank you

I do not agree. Temps like that maybe speed up growth, but in flowering stage it just has more disadvantages. All processes in the mj plant above 32 degrees speed up so fast, which is, even for (commercial) growers who arent doin things for the first time, not in your favor.

I'm not sure I understand what your saying, what problems? Speed is what I'm going for :-) the increased temps help increase plant metabolism, the biggest downside of this is an increase in humidity which I'm not worried about due to the AC and dehumidifier.

I think he is trying to speed up his vegging state, trynna cut off at least a week off of veg times. so he has no problem popping the co2 and increasing the temps. my suggestion for getting the heat up is just to throw a heater in with a timer, and just toggle with that.

Yeah the humidity should be at least 60% which shouldnt be too big of a problem, popping co2 and having a COMPLETELY sealed room should have that down no problem. and if anything just mist ur plants with water if your humidity isnt quite there. i have a shit load of fans so my humidity is actually low, im at 82-84F with co2.

If u dont wanna pop co2 tho, you should bring fresh air in, and have an exhaust or a scrubber into your room, that way u always have a lot of co2 coming in, and maybe pop co2 for the hell of it, becuz popping off co2 with a bottle the levels jjust wont really cut it. it just wont. i know if u have a generator with a fuzzylogic controller, u will be able to achieve co2 levels, AND humidity no problem. as well as boost your heat up a few degrees as well. you should think about that but it's an investment. and yes i think its a great investment as propane is cheap for the levels of co2 u are producing. AND it solves all your other problems as far as humidity, heat temp rises and co2 levels. (not sure if that was a problem, but u'll be more consistent at staying at 1500ppm for a lot longer)


should run you about a grand. but it's well well well worth it.
