Attack of the Attic (In O Major)

hey man if u throw in the 30 amp breaker i would recommend going 240V with it and checking out the eurosystem twin 600 setup... they sell it at www.gchydro.com and other places...the ballast doesn't get hot at all and one ballast runs two lights...costs about what u would pay for 1.5 regular 600 lights as well...good luck keeping all those strains str8...

Hey bro! Looking splendid! But that's no suprise to me. You're definitely cut out for this shit. You took to it like a duck to water :smile:

You've certainly got some challenges ahead (with the temps), but at least you already have the growing fine-ass herb part figured out. Imagine trying to take on this challenge a year ago! Knowledge is power, experience is king.

Resin-Thanksa bro!

Phat-I'd love to buy that light...after checking out it looks like a great setup. I've got so much into this grow financially I think I'll have to put that one on the wish list!

Mustard-I'm tryin to catch back up with the rest of ya! It SUCKS not have any buds to shoot! Soon enough!

CC-Thanks man! I learnt from the best! I'm tryin to just pass it on now and improve my grows with each and every one! You'll see!

Pics to come after the transplant tomorrow! Stay tuned! :joint:

wow, OHenry!! :yoinks: way to build!

i am amazed at how squat/short the seedlings are. the T5 is the sh!t, then, eh?

mine always stretch, no matter how close i put the light(s)...yours look awesome!

man, i'd love to use our attic, but physically impossible(for me). nice usage of space.

how do you get water up there?

how cold is it?

damn, quite a line up. nice work. :respect:

Thanks Sleepy.

the T5 is the shit. I, myself, have never been able to produce seedlings that were so compact and healthy. They were alway 6" tall before the second nodes!

The water goes up in 5gal pail, up the ladder, and makes its way into feeding mixes, etc.

Temps are good, now. Veg is always between 72-78. The "room" temp outside the veg is about 60 or so. I've taken steps to insulate the roof with r11 insulation. Nothin special but it's doing the trick.

I've run my 600hps in the flower chamber and the temp maxed out @ 78. It's a much larger open space. I'll be adding one or two more 600 in there before Jan 1st.

Thanks for droppin in! Stop by later for plant pics. OH :joint:

More than I'd like...but I think I've found my solution. Add one more 400 in veg...kick that temp up...and pipe air off the veg lights right into flower during the off cycle...hopin it works but only time will tell. OH :wave:

Everything is moving along how I had hoped. I will wire up the breaker for the flower room this week and begin flowering on or about Wed/Thurs.

This is a shot of the whole veg room. The T5 is tucked up in the cieling for picture purposes.

This is the Strawberry Cough in a 3gal bag. Needs to be flowered really soon!



This is the C99



Johnbudd hooked me with some Jacks Herer...




...and Hashplant.




Both were revegged and have been doing fine. Should be nice to play with these two!!!

The attic has become a tricky place to take pics! Getting the lighting right with low ceilings, reflective poly and a sore back have lead to well...how should I put it...subpar pictures...I apologize but can assure you I'll have it fixed for flower!

OH :wave: :joint:

Thanks Johnbudd. Youll have to come on in and check the attic out for yourself. As you can see the JH and HP are doing great. The Nebula and Gsus have not jet shown roots but should be comin soon!

C99 and Cough clones have begun to show roots. Those will be hitting dirt soon!

I just found a new source for perlite and soil! A 3 cubic foot bag of Promix for 14.99! Much Much cheaper than the depot (support SMALL business WHENEVER possible). Super stoked. They also have 1 gal pots for 0.32/ea. Its the little things in life that get me excited these days! :joint:

Well, I'm just dying to get this breaker ready to flower.

Has anyone out there done a late Scrog training? I've got my two girls that are getting much taller than expected and am wondering if scroggin' them now would be favorable. They'll share a 600hps and as much space as they need.

Any advice? Come on...I know your reading this! OH :joint:
