Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been in love with growing for about 15 years now, I'm sure most of you feel the same way.
My current setup is:
Secret jardin L90 with 2 small 1x2 veg chambers on one side and 1 2x2x4.5 flowering chamber on the other side.
Flowering side has a 150hps
Veg room 1 (vr1) my cloning/seedling room has a 23w cfl inches from the tops
Veg room 2 (vr2) has 96 total watts pumping out 10,000 lumens of t5 goodness, under it I keep one big plant loving life till I harvest the one on the flowering side. It's not exactly a perpetual garden but as soon as one comes out the other goes in.
I have a PC fan controller with 4 120mm 90cfm fans and 2 80mm fans for exhaust/intake as well as 3 5"-6" clip fans for circulation.
Currently have SVF OG Kush on both sides with 3 purple Moroccan X Ron Burgundy seedlings that are 3 days old from seed.
I'm using roots organic soil in 3 gallon smart pots and feeding with age old, some of general organics line like biobud and CaMg+, thrive alive green, and some roots HP2 for a little guano action. I've also got plenty of pics if anyone wants to see em
Welcome, your set up sounds great.

them plants look a lil strechy bro and wet
Yeah, had sprayed them before I took the pic. Those saps are very stretchy, there a test run, but I'm going to try to grow them to there fullest. I got 4 100w cfls at 6500 k with 1600 l each, but re thinking those bulbs for true grow cfls. Thinking of adding uva & uvb cfls for desert and tropical effect through the winter months to add to the spectrum. I have PC fans I'm hooking up to AC power for air flow and I do have a old school temp and humidity indicator . I thought about the scrog use when I look over the shelf.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks.
Read a CFL lighting tutorial from 420 mag dated 09 which is great info for small tent grow. The 4 100watt cfl bulbs I have true watt equal to 23 watts each of use I'm going to mix the cool white and warm white. My sealed greenhouse is a rough 25sq which I can take out the shelf's as needed for grow height.
Peace

Hey my name is richard... New to this forum and growing! Super stoked to live learn and love with this venture... I have 28 plants in the first stages of flowering... I live in socal and it's been 100 everyday but the girls are thriving... I have used my knowledge of science and researching daily... I have a severe seizure disorder and this helps prolong my seizures it's great! So I can't work and take care of the ladies constantly... I planted may 10th so they just hit 4 months... I ha them on LED lights to extend growing season a bit it also pulled my clones out of flower when I got them.. Never buying clones again lol... I have fire OG Jack Herer white berry big bud OG dj shorts blueberry cataract kush and green crack... I started them on general hydroponics nutrients from the beginning but I just switched on vf-11 nutrients and they work great... I am also building a two story grow in our 6000 sqft shop... The grow will be 1000 sqft structure within.. It will be fully enclosed bottom floor for veg. Top floor for flower.. I will have wall to wall mirrors to reflect and make the space look bigger... I will tile it with the wood looking tile... All plants will be on a drip system and the rooms will be climate controlled with co2 tanks as well. The outer edge of the 24 hour room will contain mother plants and clones and seedlings... I will use the see of green method to harvest 4 times per year... Misters will top the plants and keep humidity high. But not too high... Across on the other side of the shop will be a one story 800sqft structure that will contain a beautiful kitchen FYI my friend is an architect and it will look clean and moder... the kitchen will be used for edibles... A huge table will be used for trimming and other things.. A lounge with a TV and smoking area will be there as well... A closet with all electrical components another room for storage And enclose climate controlled room with plants I am breeding... Keeping the breeding plants completely away from my other grow room... So yah I've been busy... Here are some pictures of my first outdoor grow! One cataract kush is over six feet tall from the ground... So glad science is on my side...DSC_0447.JPGDSC_0444.JPG DSC_0447.JPG DSC_0447.JPG

looking good bro but I would go with flat white before mirrors I think tin foil reflects more than mirrors but could be wrong gl with that set up sounds massive
