Time for a photo update...............


#37 - The C.A.P. MLC-16DX is finally here. Purchased from HorticultureSource because they were about $90 USD cheaper than ANYONE else online, but since they drop ship from C.A.P. in Riverside, CA, their shipping *waiting* time is about a week plus however long it takes you to get it delivered.

Installation was a breeeeeeeeeeze. Just connect the black/black/green wire from my old box, mount on wall, connect a timer. Easy. :)




...............Entering Veg Room....................





#38 - The left 8 cups are Ice Cream seeds, and the other are something else I forget. Mr. Kitty knows, so I'll check with him (he's napping now, can you believe that crap?)



#39 - Others in veg, I wanted to get them flowering today, but there's a few reasons why I'm not. In Flower Room A, we start week 8 today, which means one week to harvest. That'll open up BIG pots that need bigger plants than the Flower Room B do. So, the ones in the back that are much taller and about a week older will go in Flower Room A next Monday (24th?) and the rest in the reservoir left will fill up Flower Room B's 5 extra lights in there.

That'll pull us up to 12,000 watts of flower power and 1,500 watts in veg.

Out of some of these plants, I'll be picking the super girls for mommies as well and getting an area dedicated for them as well.



#40 - The other reason I didnt want to flower them is they got a tiny bit of nutrient burn and a little bit overwatered. With switching from Rockwool to RapidRooter cubes, we kept top watering them to keep the cubes wet. It turned out to be too much. That's why they are droopy. At least, we think this is it. :) They'll look better in a few days and certainly ready by next Monday.



#41 -



......... Entering Flower Room A ...............
Week 8 began today



#42 - This room still makes me kinda chuckle. Its so many different stages of plants that they are so different in size. Again, this was expected due to the move to the new room and flowering a batch of randoms just to get something rolling right away.



#44 - One week to go...........



#45 - One week to go...........



#46 - One week to go...........



#47 - One week to go...........



#48 - One week to go...........



#49 - One week to go...........



#50 - One week to go...........



#51 -


......... Entering Reservoir Room...............


#52 - Third controller wired up and happy.



......... Entering Flower Room B ...............



#53 - These plants start week 3 today. Or was it week 4? I forgot to take a picture of the chart, but its around there lol.......



#54 - All of the ventilation for 6 lights is done. One more much smaller fan and filter will handle the last 2 lights in the room. Its an 8" 500+CFM Vortex that splits in a Y right away, then goes to 3 lights, then out to the furnace input. Keeps the building nice and warm upstairs and keeps the heater off during winter more. :)

When water cooling is added this spring, it'll be a closed loop system where the ducting connects right back to the fan and goes in a circle. The Carbon filter will be on an additional fan on the floor doing nothing but just recirculating CO2 rich air in the room.



#55 - The plants are looking nice in Flower B, a few showed signs of overwatering so I dropped it from 2x a day to 1x a day If some of the clawing that some of the plants show reduces, then we'll slowly increase frequency till the end of flower.

Temps are about 75 and humidity 50%.



#56 - Yummy.



#57 - Some more...........




That's all for now everone thanks as always! See anything I can improve on or make better? Post it! :)

hey kitty, i thought i heard your space was 2600sq ft. is that true?

impressive setup btw.
Click to expand...
Thanks! The space is "around" 2600sqft. There's still Flower Room C & D which are completely empty right now other than spare drywall and reservoirs. :) There's also a small drying room, the trim room, A&B flower and the veg space.

I dont think I'll really use the full amount of space. So much to do with what there is already. :)

Just a quick update..........

I tried Humboldt Nutrients "Verde" as part of their Foliar spray as recommended on the manufacturers chart. Ordered a quart which should last me a while in Foliar, and it arrived, except the liquid was all clumpy. It looked really like diarrhea. It liked to clog the sprayers nozzles too.

So, like a good girl, I called Humboldt Nutrients and asked them if it was a bad jug or expired or if I was doing something wrong. The sales staff helped me there, and the man said that the bottle was much older stock and that they've improved the formula since then to use a liquid seaweed instead of clumpy seaweed.

He then suggested that he ship me a new Quart of it for free (32oz). I said hell yea, and now a week later arrives this:




Not only did I get a replacement quart of perfect Verde that isnt clumpy, they also sent SEVEN PINTS (16oz each) of a bunch of their other products. Plus, a poster, 3 owners guides (Almanacs they call em), as well as an unphotographed Secret Jardin Dark Room logo bottle opener/knife. :)

All for free because I had a small, easily fixable problem with a vendor selling me a jug of nutrients that was on a shelf for 3 years at his store. :)

How is THAT for service? :) Thumbs up Humboldt Nutrients. Thanks again.
