Am I Missing Anything? Grow Room Construction: Item List

[Guest]

Flower Cab:
Cab Lumber/Wood
Lights w/ air cooled hood
Air cooling fan + ducting
Exhaust fan + carbon filter
Passive intake

Veg Cab:
Cab Lumber/Wood
Lights w/ air cooled hood
Air cooling fan + ducting
Exhaust fan + carbon filter
Passive intake

Misc:
Beans/seeds
Dirt/soil
Nutrients
Pest/Disease Control
Sulfur Burner
RO System
Air Conditioner
Dehumidifier
Oscilating Fans

Adding CO2 would be pointless for me since I don't have the cash for a proper controller, so Im relying on fresh air from outside.

Am I forgetting anything? Thank you

Little small items I can think of are...

Watering can
Large water bucket for RO system
Containers for soil
Screws/String for training/LST
Scissors for trimming
Razer for cloning
Seedling tray for cloning
Humidity dome for cloning
Medium for cloning
Spray bottle
Rooting hormone
Jars for curing
Paint or some reflective material for wood

Anything anyone else can think of???

PH test kit would be nice.
How are you cloning?.. using rockwool for your clones? or are you going mediumless?

 

[Guest]

Ah yes forgot that, I already own one so thats ok
I am using Earth Juice Nutrients and they say measuring the pH of that isn't easy. The soil I use is pH buffered so it should be ok for the most part.

Havn't decided on my cloning medium, I've never cloned before, But I will be transplanting the clones into soil, what cloning medium would you suggest? I've seen videos of people cloning with those rockwool cubes, would they work for a soil grow?

a way to keep track of strains and dates, ie markers and log

 

[george j warner]

Flower Cab:
Cab Lumber/Wood
Lights w/ air cooled hood
Air cooling fan + ducting
Exhaust fan + carbon filter
Passive intake

forgotten :

duct clip or duct tape,silver duct tape, reflective material and blackout,back draft shutter (intake) ,satin material for grow room vents (removes bugs),thermometer, humidity gauge, segment timers (lights or fans),pond liner for floor (water barrier) ,contractor (for lights bigger than 400 watt or in multiples).. and get a staple gun for the sheeting

Veg Cab:
Cab Lumber/Wood
Lights w/ air cooled hood
Air cooling fan + ducting
Exhaust fan + carbon filter
Passive intake

forgotten :
duct clips or duct tape, reflective material /blackout, silver duct tape, humidifier, humidity gauge, thermometer, pond liner on floor(water barrier), , timers , back draft shutter (intake) and the satin material to stop bugs (stretch it over vents and tape in place ... u can also use mosquitto netting)

Misc:
Beans/seeds
Dirt/soil
Nutrients
Pest/Disease Control
Sulfur Burner
RO System
Air Conditioner
Dehumidifier
Oscilating Fans

forgotten :

humidifier for veg ,propagator, superthrive, fert flowering booster (pk 13/14),fan speed controllers ...(always useful) and a cooling stat for the flowering room (link it to the main fan when it reaches a certain temp it turns the fan on full to cool the room to under the set temp ... set it around 83 degrees F)

you dont need co2

hope this helps

good point get a diary ... one that has at lease 1 box per day : ) .. good for keeping harvest dates and ferting times , remembering spraying times etc

good piece of kit

: )

write in it in code or just dont write MARIJUANA in it lol

 

[george j warner]

oh shit ... ph and ec meters if you got a hydroponic system , then the extras

ph down
liquid silicone (use as ph up... dont get "ph up"!)
pippettes (measuring thingies)
ec calibration solution
ph calibration solution

its worth it in the end

 

[Guest]

Wow thanks for your help george! Im not hydro, organic soil, I won't be paying much attention to pH or ppm because its organic soil, the soil is pH buffered.

And thanks for your other advice, i will definately consider those items!

A few small things I keep on hand at all times in my grow room:

Sanitizer solution of 50-200 ppm bleach (and test strips since you won't be using a ppm meter). I always sanitize pots, razors, cloning trays, shears, etc., in between uses by soaking or spraying them thoroughly in solution and allowing them to dry completely. I also routinely sanitize air vents, walls, floors, and doors. It will eradicate any remaining bacteria or other troublemakers that might be lurking about. Just be careful around the plants, you don't want to harm any beneficial bacteria or enzymes since you'll be using organics.

Latex-free vinyl gloves.

Cleanliness may not necessarily be next to godliness, but it will save you from a whole host of nightmares in the grow room.

I also find a 60cc syringe to be really helpful when mixing nutrients.

Vitamin B1 for reducing stress on cuttings and transplants.

Ozone-generating CFLs for around the house. Helps reduce impact on your power bill and discretely eradicates any odors that may have seeped out of your room.

Rubber pads to absorb vibrations from fans or magnetic ballasts. I use a 250CFM centrifugal fan and most of the noise came from vibrations, not the fan itself.

When using soil, a 3 gallon pump garden sprayer is perfect for getting even, uniform watering across your dirt. Having a 2-3 foot wand saves your back too.

A little statue of Buddha never hurt either.

lol, nice ideas

Bleach and rubbing alcohol, good idea.
I plan on getting a Sulfur Burner and running it a few times a week for a few hours. And Neem Oil for insects, pyrethium foggers, and disease control spray for mildew, rust, mold etc.

I believe Liquid Karma has b vitamins, and I plan on getting that. Also has humic/fulvic, good stuff i guess.
Quote: "C. Vitamins - All of the vitamins used in this formulation are extremely beneficial for plant growth because they function as co-factors for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism and the biosynthesis of macromolecules. Liquid KarmaTM contains significant amounts of riboflavin, thiamine, pyridoxine, and all of the other B-complex vitamins obtained from fermented yeast extracts."

Good idea about the rubber pads, didnt think of that.

Not sure any odors will leak, it'll be a negative air pressure cab, vented twice an hour through carbon. But if it does it shouldn't be much, I'll seek alternative means. Maybe just air fresheners because I doubt much smell will leak.

cold beer

Seems like you've got everything worked out, good luck and happy harvests!

I like rockwool to clone with, (growdan xtra) a quick snip, dip(in whatever cloning gel you like). and a few days later.. Yes, it works in soil, just bury it, cube and all.

yer cold beers a good one to remember,maybe a tv and sofa when the beer kicks in , actually scrap the tv ... you got ya plants : )
