Wow dude I love your setup. You kept it so simple with 4 tress that are going to yield a ton. What are you looking for 6-8lbs?

Hydroformer · Aug 25, 2012

Thanks benny!
First time with this set up and grape ape is not a high yield strain I'd like to get 4-10

Very nice setup. What are the room dimensions? Also, how does the ventilation work? 3500cfm intake... is that from an air conditioned lung room or outdoors?

Hydroformer · Aug 25, 2012

Thx Farm!
Room is 8'x 18.5'
The cool air is pulled from under the house through 4x 20"x20" cleanable reusable air filters, I have a 14"x52" carbon scrubber leading out of the room, I need to pick up an outflow inline fan to match the intake speed.

Cool room hydro :good:

Abja Roots · Aug 25, 2012

It looks very proper. Nice self made system. I see a lot of very interesting thinking in terms of the setup.

Hope you see some nice size trees in there. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice and clean looking. I hope this goes well. Best of luck.

Thanks guys!

Here's a pic of the ape from last session.

Similar to sour-d with a grape fruity taste

What a sanctum!! Love the hanging fans, can't say I've ever seen that one before. Would you get better lumens if you moved your two rows closer together and accessed both from the edges?

Hydroformer · Aug 25, 2012

Thx Vg

I had thought about moving the rows towards the center of the room 3 inches each but felt having some room to maneuver between the plants was best, there is so little excess room around the walls I would not be able to use it as an access path.

Dude, so nice. Love clean set ups. Your shit looks dialed my brotha, I'll be peeping this one for sure.

Nice. I picture a couple folks in Tyvek hazmat suits and ankle-length lab coats carrying tablet PC's and watching a bank of sensor monitors........note to self: quit getting so blasted so early on Sat. afternoon.....

Good luck.

Loving the trees and the 27gal black totes. Also like the use of chain and metal pig fence! Hydro trees are my favorite also. Nice screen name
