Hello RIU community. I'm attempting my first semi-stealth grow rooms. Before I have grown 3 times (hydro DWC bubblers) but usualy 1-3 plants at a time in the bedroom. For many obvious reasons besides the fact I want more yield I've decided to desinate seperate grow areas for my baby's.
I have been working on these rooms for about 3 weeks now. Hard to find time when working full time nightshift, and I love my sleep!
I considerate semi-stealth because both my roomies know about it and have a small participation in the project, but I may have relatives and/or unsuspect visitors in the future.
Some to most of the information I'm using has come from the RIU community and I'd like to thank each and everyone of you. But I would especialy like to thank Al. B. Fuct. since my grow shedule is a variation from his.
My veg room is 2' x 4' x 7'. I will also clone in here. I plan to have anywhere from 4-7 mothers at any given time including a controller bucket that feeds from a resivor in another room. At the moment I'll be using a 6" inline duct fan for exaust into the flower room which is the neighboring room. I'll use 4 double socket 4' T12 fixtures for mothers. (2 on the right are on a pulley system to allow for easy acces to mothers/equipment) Plan to start with 4 mothers so I ran 2 40-60 gal aqua culture air pumps with 1 line desinated to each bubbler. The room is wraped in 1 layer of 6mil black plastic, then a layer of 3/4" foamboard, and finaly a second layer of 6mil black plastic. Intake for this room come threw a 7" x 11" vent with a 11" x 11" filter on the inside made into the door. I ran 16" reflectix around the lighting area of the plants. Also in this room, but isnt used for this room, is a 65 liter/hour commerical air pump to run bubblers in flowering room mounted to the ceiling.
On to the flowering room. This room is 4' x 9' x 7'. The interior is identical to the veg room. (plastic, foam, plastic) It has 2 6" inline duct fans (cutousy of HTG) for intake. One from the veg room and 1 from the dark room (dark room is where my 3 resivoirs and possibly electronic balast will be located)
I've installed a 5500 BTU window unit in a pre-existing window for cooling purposes. I'll also be using bubblers and a controller in the flowering room. I will use a shedule similar to Al.B.Fuct with the exception that I'll run a 4 week shedule and probly a nute change every 2 weeks. I havn't decided on lighting yet except for the fact that I will be going electronic HPS. either 2-3 600W or 2 1k W's. Only reason I havn't decided this yet is because the existing room duct for ac/heat run's into this room and I rerouted it threw the room, over the ceiling and out of the flowering room.
Temporarly I have a double T12 fixture for lighting to be able to work as this room isn't totaly complete. For exaust I will be running a GrowBright 424 cfm fan with matching charcoal filter which will run inline with my lights eventualy. All electrical boxes to run these rooms have been pulled from a 60 Amp sub-panel to insure no power issues. Everything will run on 110 volts.
The dark room (unsure how I came up with the name) is 2' x 3 1/2' x 7' and will house my 3 resivors and probly my ballast. I have a vent same setup as veg room running threw this room then a 6" inline duct fan running from this room to the flower room. Still have alot of work to do in this small space.
I have my exaust fan/filter on order, and also ordered some mandala satori today from attitude. Can't wait to get r done!
Will post updates from time to time and more pictures to come. Fell free to give feedback or critisism.
Thanks for looking,
