Just a couple toys from my new place. Lots of fun projects in the works.




CD-12 Generator for your co2 needs



CAP ppm-3 co2 monitor
Green Air CT-DH3p for temp/humidity/co2 control with photostat
Cycle stat timer


Four 600w 240v digital ballasts from www.hidhut.com $175 a pop. Two 400w MH digitals on their way for $99 a pop. Hanna Grocheck ppm/ph/temp continuos monitor

12" inline blower. Fantech FKD12 1300 CFM

I have two 5 foot cooltubes with reflectors with two 600w hps in each. 6" insulated ducting for each. You can see the two 8" passive intakes and the 8" intake for the air cooled setup. You can't see but there are two 400w mh digitals in the middle of the cooltubes. They are in seperate air cooled hoods.

This is the 8" inline to cool the four 600w hps and two 400w mh. One 6" line for every 2 bulbs.


LT19 air pump for a lot of air. Unfortunately it also gets extremely hot and pumps air in to my buckets. It is currently turned off. Fairly loud unit as well.



Carbon scrubber

Big airstones in each bucket

drip lines, air lines, return lines


Res has a mixing pump, a drip line pump, and ph/ppm/temp monitor probes.

More pics of the aircooledness.


The big bad timer. 8 plugs for 240v lights.

currently only 2 are on.

day 2 in the buckets


Did I mention I have 2 omega gardens? I am working on setting a room up for them as well. Good thing I have extra CO2 generators lying around.


Some small vegging plants. In recovery from a mite attack.



I like to play in the dirt as well.



Couple of clones

WOW I never saw anyone here with that much equipment before, or atleast post pictures of it. Your going to be one busy person for sure. I hope you can handle all those clones for the omega. I'll be watching this one for sure. You sure did spend alot of money. Have fun with all your gear and stay safe.
Take care,
BG

2 omega's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u given the credit card a good whacking or u won the lottery ?
i cant fault u for using green air products ,,,ever tried the genesis nutes ? i forgot what else i was gonna ask

oh yeah u need a lodger ?

 

[pico11653]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the setup. It is just some Krusty style buckets. Just started filling them up with plants. 20 buckets under a 7x9 area.

Questions? Yes, you in the back...

 

[Stan Laurel]

Jeebus, me ductings gone all rigid looking at that lot

 

[pico11653]

Golddust- That has been the biggest problem with the omegas. I have had them for a while and yet to have anything spinning. Just have had a hard time getting as many clones ready as I would like. I think I am just going to have to fill it up gradually and do a perpetual harvest. I would like to stick with around 158 plants, which is 7 per C channel.

Hazy- Well I wish I won the lottery. Hopefully these things live up to the hype and give me a lot-tery of yield. Never used the Genesis nutes. I am going with GH 3 part in the buckets and I have a ton of Pure Blend Pro lying around for the Omegas. I might do a side by side comparisons of nutes since I have 2 omegas. I am my own lodger. Keeps me busy. Along with all my other projects...

 

[guest3854]

Very well planned . What genetics are you gonna fill tha systems with ?

 

[pico11653]

Steel- I have some white widdow I am going to throw in the buckets. I have another strain that looks more single cola type that I am going to try in the Omegas. For my head I am going to grow Blue Skunk in soil organic setup.

 

[Guest]

Ahh yes I feel twitches in my britches a rise in the levis. You got a very sexy setup there Bro. Those are some killer prices on those digital ballasts, gonna have to remember that place.

Can't wait for the buds

Mo,

 

[pico11653]

This gives you a better idea of the light layout.

Another look at the buckets getting setup


A recent Coco/hydroton drip system I tried out


Some Widdow Wreck

Another Hobby. More equipment porn available for this, but I won't bore anyone with that stuff.

A look inside the omega

 

[pico11653]

MR Mo - Yes, those are great digital prices. www.hidhut.com I am still a little skepticle but so far everything is working great. No complaints at all about these ballasts.

 

[pico11653]

Let me know if you see anything incriminating in any of these photos. Everything should be fine, but you never know, there could be an address on a box somewhere i didn't see......thanks for the help.

 

[Guest]

Good Luck ... this is gonna be a good one to watch. I hope those digital ballasts work out for you. I want to try them myself.

Yea with a op that size you can never be to careful. We all have to be on our toes for each other.

Stay Safe

 

[radium-]

so I take it this is a commericial grow... I know OG didnt condone on commericial grows but no idea how IC feels... I am very impressed and jealous of your setup but would never want to be paying the power bills. I hope its legal to grow where you live or your stealing power.. stay safe

 

[pico11653]

I grow for myself and friends. It actually isn't that much power being consumed in the room. four 600w hps currently. 2400 watts plus the blowers and pumps....probably looking at 3 KW/H.

Now once I hook up the omegas that is another 3 KW/H and then there are the 1200w of veg lights.....but still, not a ton of power.

This isn't really commercial, just a lot of fun equipment to play around with. I could have easily set up a 20 K setup for the money I put in to this stuff. I am more just interested in all types of growing and like to test things out. The final product is just icing on the old cake. If this was commercial growing I probably wouldn't be driving a 15 year old car.

Don't ever steal power....that is an easy way to get caught. Just pay the man and everyone is happy. As long as you pay your bill on time I don't think anyone even sees the power usage. Well I guess the meter checker guy does, but he isn't really calculating your power usage. All the billing is set up on computers these days.

thanks for stopping by

Now days most electric companies have those digital meters like on my house. They don't even have to come by anymore. Supposedly they can check it from the office now.

Mo,

 

[kokua]

I have some white widdow I am going to throw in the buckets. I have another strain that looks more single cola type that I am going to try in the Omegas. For my head I am going to grow Blue Skunk in soil organic setup.

....even with all that fancy equipment, you still choose organic soil fro your own conumption. I love it when folks try to say that hydo is just as good or better, lol. Nice setup

 

[pico11653]

Mr. Mo- yeah no digital meters here. Shit, I am in the boonies, I only get 28.8 dialup. Everyone is lucky I can even stand waiting to upload all these pics.

Kokua- Well of course I like my soil organic, I am no dummy . I love growing in soil and have done some large grows that way. I just like trying out all the other systems as well. Nothing beats mixing up your own soil and brewing up the teas of the good shit.

Unfortunately right now I don't even have any pot. None, zip, zilch. Money is a little tight right now and I just don't like buying weed anymore anyways. Not when I can grow it perfectly well. I am just in a new place and haven't had stuff going for a little while. In a couple months I will have a little to smoke on just a little.

 

[Mr GreenJeans]

"just a little" heh heh
Hiya pico

Nice digs you have here, no doubt you'll be buzzed out in 60 or so.

Thanks for showing your place!

yes this is very true - well put (I used to work for an energy company)

pico - your equipment is making me salivate - very nice indeed. Looking forward to seeing it put to good use.

good luck and stay safe mate
