Yeah, I just mean sticking an extra carbon filter with a fan in the room without discharging will scrub smell better. Sorry for any confusio, I’ve been drinking and smoking

No need to apologize! I have done that in the past but I never really knew if it was effective or not. Will revisit. Thank youYeah, I just mean sticking an extra carbon filter with a fan in the room without discharging will scrub smell better. Sorry for any confusio, I’ve been drinking and smoking

FYI. Scrubbing also filters particulate from the air.
I adjust the speed controller as low as possible while still keeping odor down.
Small 4x8x8 space. Econo filter fan.
Beautiful room buildout!

Amazing journal, it should be X rated for the amount of bud porn my eyes witnessed going through it for the last 30 mins. 
I love the variety, from different mediums to types of lighting and tons of wonderful strains! Shows your talent and versatility.
Wonderful pictures as well. If you don't mind, what kind of camera do you use?

It's a Nikon DX something or other. An entry level camera. Think it was around $500 or so.

It can be very effective, its what most people do in a sealed room. When doing it as a scrubber it takes a fair amount higher CFM than a inline exhaust to get the same odor effectiveness. Basically because the cleaned air stays in the room it just needs a higher volume going thru the filter to keep the smell down.No need to apologize!

Quick update on my flower room progress. HLG has been out of 288 R-Specs for a while and I needed to order 22. I got their last 7 board and heat sink combos but then lucked out and saw that LED Grow Lights Depot had a bunch. My last 15 are coming Friday from them. I sure hope they are legit or I'm going to be pissed.
All of the panels are hung and the wiring is finished. Just need to mount the boards and plug in and I should be in business.
The left wall has (12) 288's evenly distributed with 3000K, 4000K and the 3500K R-Spec.
The right wall has (12) 288's and they will all be the 3500 R-Spec.
The far wall is a 50/50 mix of 4000K and 3500K R-Spec.
I had originally planned the room for 38 boards in total but the spacing didn't work out quite right so we're going to have 36 - 12 on each side.

Flower room is a wrap! I have the 288's dimmed as low as they can go and it is brighter than shit still. I admit, I could have spaced them a bit further and used fewer boards. But whatever, this is going to be pretty bad ass.
My son came down and said the room looked amazing and offered to help me tidy up and vacuum. He and I then laid the foundation panels for room #2.
I put this bib around the 3 sides as an eye shield for me mostly but also as a bit of extra reflection back to the canopy. It's about 6 inches above my head so I have good visibility.

Is there a reason you didn’t weed the pots?

Those were not weeds - it was my first attempt at living organic soil and those were cover crop...lol
Ahaaa I see, did you run any of these strains with coco/perlite before or after this grow? if so how do you compare both grows, smoke wise and quantity!! what I really like about this is you don’t bother much about feeding program and PH

The two attempts with living organic soil did not go very well. The 1st was terrible and the 2nd was just not very good. I've done coco/perlite before and after then and plan on sticking with coco/perlite for the immediate future. And with coco, I am very meticulous with feeding and PH.
Reviewing your soil mix I think I have a very good ideas of what went wrong with your living soil attempts. The C:N is way off, sphagnum peat moss has a very high Carbon to Nitrogen ratio 30:1 - 50:1, and what made things worse will be the Mycorrhizae and earthworms.... imo you should have used heavy nitrogen feeding. Anyway I am more encouraged now to try organic living soil, lets see what happens lol

Just a quick update on Room #2. I neglected my job for a few days and got a ton of work done on room 2. This room is the multi-purpose room. Drying and curing, clones and mom's, and pollen chucking.
Entrance door just went in - picture from the outside:
Drying and curing - this is what you walk into:
Doorway to the right goes into the other section. I had planned on another door but I may leave it open. The dry room and seedling/clone/mom room will share humidity and temp environment anyway.
And at the back of that room is the love room where some serious deep dicking will be going on.
Quite a bit to do as you can see but getting there.

Quick update on the rooms and plans. Looks like we're slated to start seeds on December 1st! Going to be starting with a sift of (24) Chem '91 S1's. Will be taking and holding clones until these flower out, dry and cure and then go out for formal review. Hoping to find 1 or 2 that are extraordinary. Not sure yet if I will run anything else in parallel, we'll see.
Room #2 is mostly finished. Just need to finish sealing it up tight with tuck tape and PL300 foamboard adhesive. Space is going to be a little cramped but it should be just enough for what I need. Here is a sneak peak at the drying and curing chamber: Temps and humidity will be monitored and under tight control.
The flower room has been mostly done for the last few months. The only thing left was to figure out how to implement drain to waste. I knew my design would not accommodate standard sizes for things like flood tables and trays but I felt comfortable thinking I'll be able to figure out something nice and maybe clever. Several months went by and I hadn't come up with a solution. Last week I was vegging out watching TV and I saw a commercial for FlexSeal - that liquid rubber commercial. I got inspired and after doing some research, decided I would install rails around the perimeter and paint the tables with a product called Ames Blue Max. I did the 1st coat today and here is what it looks like:
It has a pretty cool look to it. I'm expecting at least two coats, and likely 3. I installed (6) 1" drain holes. Drilled through the plywood and installed PVC pipe and used silicone. I cleaned up the silicone the best I could figuring that the rubber probably won't bond very well to it. The PVC is slightly recessed - about a 1/16". Fingers crossed this works effectively.
