Constructing my Secret Garden(2k basement convert)

tiphat.gif
Good evening to you my fellow Ic'ers.I am Solo founder of Seed No Evil.A group of midwest/ eastcoast breeders working to preserve and improve upon the genetics available to us.Those special cuts from our area as well as some very special elites handed down to me over the years.A lot of special projects that could not have happened without the kindness of some big hearts out there(hmmhmm Bodhi,Ndn,Karma)I love yall for being there for us and we will never forget it...
To the rest of you thank you for taking a minute to look over my thread and offer some suggestions.

The basic break down is this...
Flowering room is 4 4x4 areas with 1ks on side A and B.C and D run 2 600w hps. Im leaning towards putting cuts directly in the buckets instead of cups and running 40 at a time so we get 40 every 30 days ideally.

We use Quantam Badboy t5s for veg(8bulb and 4 bulb)For moms.and a 400w mh for veg.We went with open rooms for veg and flower.No tents except in the breeding lab.Seems more open and easier to vent,etc


We are growing in hempies of 100% perlite..It is to be a drain to waste style grow.
We use 3g buckets.With 2 week veg in 32oz cups and 2 week veg(or more)in 3g buckets and then flip.20 per light.This worked out much better than my original basement set up idea.Now I just have two rooms. safe locked away with acs,and can fans to exhaust.Huge carbon filters etc.We even took picos idea and built a pond liner (well a pond) for one 8x8(or two 4x4s) we built tables for the other 4x4 area out of 2x4s and pallets.Its really very pimp and the best room Ive put together.I couldnt have done it without my boy though.The Cheif,he is native american and one of the most down mother....... Ive ever met.Real good with building shit and a real passion for the plant and breeding.He will probably join up to post our OD run of our elites.

Things have progressed nicely.A few problems along the way,a few added 20 amp breakers safely and professionally installed other than nailing wire up in a few spots which were on tomorrow when we put the Floro and 300w Blackstar Chrome in the male veg tent and blocking a small window out we are running full motion.That will be in the basement.But I have everything blocked off and this is not on the side where we have water leaking.So its safe lol.

I have a neg ion gen running in the male tent.I feel it helps collect stray pollen that falls.Regardless only one strain in the breeding lab at a time unless they are under 24 hrs of light.Ive needed a real lab for breeding.Not a garage or outside.So I am turning it into a lab.With its own cloner.Veg tent and flower tent.

Rule #1 We never go in the basement unless its a non veg flower day.Always throw clothes right in the wash and keep the basement shut and locked and the side with the elec box is dry and clean.I plan to keep fathers of each male kept for breeding,test their progeny and if deemed worthy keep them on deck.My heating is blocked off in this room with t shirts and gorilla tape so I dont see any contamination possible but I will have to run some tests to see.Since its the other side on a two story i think Ill be ok as long as I dont bring it in.Im talking special clothes shoes whatever it takes kept in the breeding area and hop directly in the shower when I come up.May even invest in special lab coat type equipment.Rubber gloves suit booties to go over shoes.A spray station to kill any pollen possibly attached to my clothing underneath somehow.I have had a lot of success doing this in the past as long as I only flower one male at a time.Learned that one the hard way haha

As for cuts alone we are running...
Lonestars Killerqueen cut,
Pa Illuminati Stardawg cut
Exodus Cheese (overnighted for 200 to me a few yrs back from dude so Im very confident in what it is)We also run the La Affy.Im told this is the cut DNa wanted to use for LA con but its kept tight so they out sourced and used OG LA Affy instead an outcross between la and og.Most likely femmed.This cut is the real deal

We also have a very special addition to the stables.My brother Capn had a break up with his partner Shoe recently and I was lucky enough to score their cut of Yo Momma.Very stable and smells of strawberries.Much like my g2 gogi og male.Im thinking a x between the two and work out the strawberry traits in our favor.

I actually have about 13-14 lines ready for drops on some test grows on others...Seed no Evil is about quality.Whether it be in the cuts we breed with,the seeds we produce or the buds grown from those beans.We have been in the shadows working,and making strides in the direction we need to be.Web site will be up and running soon.I hope to speak with the mods on this site about donations,testers and releasing a few projects for the community.Free things like NDN and Swampys 88g13hp x bsh Ndn passed down to me.As well as plenty of my own creation.Mods please message and point me in the right direction...

Bodhi even passed his instant karma line to me in f1 form.I am about to take them to f3.Not sure if I will release f2s,or not.But f3s I feel will stand up against others work.Especially when you know your strains.What can I say when a man like Bodhi gives you a project he created,but lost the parents to...But thankyou my brother.So far everyone loves them.Especially the pink magenta calyxd phenotype I segregated and kept a portion of these serperated.I threw the rest in with the other Instant Karmas.I want a chance to work it but I also want others to find and enjoy its purply red goodness.

Currently just new seeds we have Topdawgs Tres Kush running,Our line Kromes White x Stardawg,Federation Seeds Mikado Hazeman made a new gen and I had to jump on a couple packs.Those are all under the 400w and ready to be transplanted and flowered.I have select males chosen from each line except the white d.But she was a great mom before I lost it when my mom died but thats another thread....
Also just started Some BlackDominia f2s,Ndn & Swampys 88g13/hp x bsh,and Mos cuttys Spacequeen F3 and Gage Greeens GrapeStomper x Underdawg og.not so much for breeding just curious to see whats what.Ive heard great things about all of them.But only time will tell....

I have to start seeds in the veg room but once they show sex they either go into the flower room or down to the male tent to veg until Im ready.Mikado,Stardawg and Killerqueen will all be getting hit this month.But hopefully I can get a breeders section up for us like we had/have at other sites and fully document creation,testing,and moving each line to market at a growers price.140$ a pack is a big pet peev of mine so you wont be seeing anything that high cost unless at auction and its driven that high.When we drop I plan to offer seeds between 40 and 100$ depending on what it is and how rare.But more or less this thread is just to show you guys how I run my perpetual.

I appreciate any input or advice.I am having trouble keeping flower in the mid 60s during lights out.Veg is fine as I just set it to high 60s that allows it to drop just enough.While flower runs full power 24/7.

Thats something I could use advice for.I mean can I run a 10btu ac on a regular timer rated for 15amps?Youd think so right lol

Anyway thankyou all
thank%20you.gif

I appreciate any and all input.

Actually bro my mom died just after this.It set me back a great deal and am very sorry to have left this thread hanging.I did make some changes.Basement was out!Rain everytime it rained outside.Would have eventually caused mold.Not to mention bugs...So do me a favor everyone Im going to start this out as the same thread just change details etc so other than me and dudes conversation here and the time lapse. to others it will be as were just chugging along...Id appreciate it this thread was important for me because I rarely post on IC and wanted to change that.My mom passing was something I knew would happen.We just never expect it to happen when it does.
