Ahoy there Scallywags !!!
Welcome to "Pirates Cave". (A 9000 Watt Perpetual SOG)
Here's were we are going...........Now read the whole thing to see how we get here !!!!!!!
OK.........for those still wanting to go for a ride..............Here we go...........
I've been lurking about for a little over a year now. Some of you know me, some of you don't.(well, not really know me but you know what I mean) I consider all of you my friends (until I get double crossed and then..........watch out !!!)............ AAAAARRRRRRR !!!
Anyway, Lets get on with it shall we?
Ive been running a SOG for a couple years now and I thought it would be fun to share it with you all. I started in a small closet in a townhouse and it was so much fun that I decided to move to a larger home with a bit more room for expansion. I was stunned when I found a place (the very first place I looked at) way up in the mountains with good privacy, a little bit of land and an outbuilding that had a back storage room. My mind went wild with the possibilities.
Here's what we got:
An outbuilding that is 30 feet long x 13 feet wide. has its own electrical panel, water a propane heater. A portion of the building was walled off in the back that was 9' x 13' with a 12 foot peaked roof. (I'll draw a schematic for ya later) The back room had a private entrance on the outside of the building. I closed that door off and concealed it. Now there was no way to get into the back room. From inside or outside.........you would never guess there is another room there.
My brother KNEW there was a grow room here but could not even find it. I eventually had to show him "The Cave"
With no way into the back room I needed to create a secret passage way for access. Here is my solution:
Standing in the workshop area you see these storage shelves packed with crap and tools:
One of them has wheels attached for swinging out:
Here is the entrance door to "The Cave" I cut into the back wall of the workshop behind the shelving:Everything is insulated for sound proofing, stealth and climate control.
Wipe your feet please !!
This is "Pirates Cave". Please.........Come on in:
I am under construction AGAIN so my Mothers aren't their normal size. I wanted to swap out strains and am in the middle of a transition. I recently got rid of my big mommies (flowered some of em. I'll show ya later) to make room for the new ones.
Current Strains: Serious AK47, Mandala Speed Queen & Satori, A cross I made called Berry OG which is a (Hashberry x OG Kush), and finally an SR-71 cut Purple Kush.
Here is an older shot with a full mother cab:Most of these where cloned and then killed or flowered. (bloom room later in thread)
Old mothers:
Lets continue the tour:
Standing in the entrance to "The Cave" you see this:
Lower section = Mothers with 800 watts of light. 1 MH & 1 HPS (400W each)
Upper Left = Pre-Flower area (1 - 400 watt MH on a mover)
Upper Right = Clone Shelf ( holds 200 clones in rooter trays, Floros light and heat mats)
Ventilation is a 8 inch Vortex sucking from the Pre-Flower. I have the air traveling from the mother cab, through the clone cab and out the Preflower where the vortex is mounted. It then exhausts outside. I do not need odor control at this time. (maybe later for kicks and giggles)
Veg, Pre-Flower & Clones:
Here are a couple Pre-Flower and Clone cab shots:I do have an HPS light in there temporarily. Normally its a MH but I needed it in a Jardin DR-120 tent. (I'll show ya later)
Pre-Flower is almost ready !!
Pre-Flower again:
Clones Anyone ???
And again:
Oh Boy !!! Roots at 10 Days !!!
That's what I'm talkin about.
I Love my Clones. (but apparently not enough to wash my hands first) SHEEESH !!
Ok, I think thats a good start for my journal. I'll be back over the next couple days to complete the tour. This will not be a start to finish thread. Its an ongoing.........never stops.......Perpetual SOG Garden. However, I will do a few strain starts and bring them through flower. ( I have seedlings of new strains right now and I'll get to that later) (they include: more AK47, White Widow, Hashberry, Mandala #1, Chronic, and some sort of Deisel(freebie). Yeah I know...........I got to many going. I'm searching for the perfect mother. AGAIN !!
Keep it Green.
I'll be back.
