OceansGreen Q & A:

What's the most crucial bit of this system?

I hate to say this, but having the correct electrical setup is crucial. My vroom has 8 outlets. Hooking up 8 outlets required a separate breaker for my entire grow. I separated my lights from my appliances. One break handles the lights/light timer and the other handles all ac/pump/timers/appliances.

I like having a safe environment so I had to extend to exact locations behind each f system for 2 pumps and one chiller. Each system needs 3 outlets so I need 12 for my 4 systems. I also have my co2 and my fan.

Another thing is having the right tools and bits to build everything and not loosing them. Lastly patience for the initial setup is what separates those who can pull thus off and those who just can't do it. It's not gonna a walk in the park. You either built to push through or you need to push through.

What are the strains to choose

I tried 5 so far and the best one I liked so far is dna genetics kusberry. I tried big bud and it got sparked on the SS veg formula. I find that even his formula can be too strong on some strains..

What's the best bit of advice you can give on the vroom.

Drainage and leaks. Make sure you use the sun leaves one inch drains. You need a 1.25 inch drill circle for them. Use the right totes. Any leaks, use pluming putty of caulk. Apply before you hook up the system.

What's the best bit of advice for the flowering room?

Seal her up, add co2, and a split ac, a faucet and basin. On the faucet have hose adapter and on the hose, a lever sprayer head.
Also have a 633 pump already attached to a hose long enough to reach the basin from any flowering system. This let's you drain easily without disconnecting anything when you change your Rez.

Make sure you hook up you pump timer to one of the sockets in the wall and extend that right next to you pump electrical head. I used a water proof double head socket. I have 1 pump timer for 2 systems. So I use 2 pump timers for 4 systems. The timer extension reach to right pump wire comes out, where the res cover cutout is. So it's in between the 2 systems on one side of the room, and the Same on the other.

i use one cycle timer for 5 pump, 4-633gpd and a 1053gph. i have a regular timer that kicks relay powering all lights and cooling fan. i have one chiller for all res's and cooling and only one pump keeps 200gal of res's cold. less is more space to grow.

I already bought the 396 pumps for the flowering rez,shouldnt they still work with the 50 gallon rez.I understand its a bigger rez but even tho its cut into 3 smaller rails,arent they about the same length as the sb original rails,If he could run 2 5 foot rails off of a 396,couldnt I do the same here ?

Chunky... Make sure you built the v room first.... I build it from scratch... Turned back end of hallway to room.

I turned nothing into a v room.

It's took me 4 days to build a flowering system from scratch... And you need three.. V room will take minimum of 1-2 weeks.. You ate going to need a split ac or a mini ac in the vroom... The t5' get warm and the cfl for the cloning system... I also have a 12 site seed stater tote with 60 cfl...

You'll need a humidifiers in there and and out take inline fan to control humidity.

actually it takes about 10 min to drain, rinse, fill with water, add nutes and adjust ph in a 50 gal res. i have a water line and a drain, so no mess

Quick question ss,I know your F room is totally sealed and you have no air/smell filter inside of it,but what do u do when the bud is at its most stinkiest and you open the door to the F room,dosent the smell release that way?So what do you do during those times.Because iam going to run a sealed sysytem in tent and use an inline fan attached to temp sensor to regulate temp and chiller for the rezs,but my tent is in bedroom and iam afraid when I open tent to work that the smell will get out that way and peps will smell it.I was thinking of putting a inline fan/filter ouside of tent in bedroom to fix that,what do u think ?

Ss do u have a floor drain or do u pump water to a drain

i pump to the washing machine drain in the room next to flower room, straight through the wall. i have plans for a new, seperate garage that will have a 18'x29' room above it, when i do that i will have drains in each room and an industrial garbage disposal unit for stems and leaves. i want nothing but the buds to exit.

i actually have two of the living air xl classic models. they are expensive and when a friend asked if i would like to have the one his father bought and never used, i jumped on it. they are expensive but very long lasting, i think my original is close to 20yrs old, at least 18.

"industrial garbage disposal unit for stems and leaves"

Me like that idea!!! You priced any out yet? All mine gets mixed with cat and dog shit and a bit of water which works but its pretty nasty:)
