Thats right folks. im back. Spent the last 10 years extracting for myself and others but bho has died. As we all know. Anyone want about 10k worth of sanitary stainless steel??? lol

Been a while since I last grew anything and my life has changed some what since then. New house, new mrs. Kids.etc … so growing in my own home Is no longer possible. Luckily I have a mate who has given me a 1.5 m x 3m area to prove my worth. Then upgrade to 3x3 after first run. Luckily for me my mate is the facility manager for a major arms manufacturer, so he knows what he’s doing with engineering. So building the space has been a doddle. He’s thought of everything and more. His skills are wasted. He could setup massive facilities if he has the ability to. So I’m happy to leave him in control… kind of.

As many of you may know, I don’t go small. But I’m not a big commercial guy either. I’m just a nerd. I used to test grow for gavita with their plasma and with mars with their first iterations of mars hyrdo lights. So i wanna do this proper. Best I can produce, bar non. Yep, Im putting that out there.

I’ve spent the last 6 month learning the new techs. Vpd control. Crop steering. You name it. My brain has sucked it up. Oh it’s felt so good.

Thus far I’m at stage two. That’s equipment getting delivered to the safe, buffer zone ( not the grow house ). The room getting built and sealed and 18000 btu air con going in.

Lighting will be GrandMaster Led tarantula Borg 4 channel, 1500 w spectrum tuning leds. X 2. From my years of watching from a fair these guys have peaked my interest for a while. Was inclined with Scyence LED but they seamed to have dropped off. So have plenty of light to play with and 500 possible spectrums to play with.

Environmental and substrate monitoring will be by a full Trolmaster Hydro X Pro system. This will allow me to monitor and control co2, heat, vpd, etc . substrate dry backs and ec content for ec stacking etc. I’m really looking forward to this.

Have some lovely genetics to play with. Not sure what to go with. Maybe Gary Payton and Knightsbridge Oz. But I nice cut of Dark Rainbow ( gmo x rainbow belts ) is also available. Zowah too. Choices choices. I need the two that will grow will togther and they will be sharing a feed tank. Growing in Grodan Hugo blocks, dripped with floraflex system. Nutrient chiller. Hydrotops base feed tailored to our water. Pk13/14 for stretch, 9/18 for swell. Canna boost. And that’s probably it. No beneficials. Just salts and love.

Looking forward to getting the first pics up. Hopefully in a week or so.

What has replaced butane extraction, rosin presses??? I just bought the passive BHO setup and did it once. Still have half in freezer. Was too strong for me, and made me cough up phlegm.
Good luck with new grow.

Many have died and many have left. So many were not happy with new format. I miss the list of friends and whether they were online to chat.

Hey folks,

Thanks for all the kind words. And yes there will be a thread, I’ll probably use this thread to document the build. Got all the bits delivered this week. Should all start getting installed next week.

And if people would like I can go in to full detail on crop steering, both environmental and substrate control.

First pics should be up in the next few weeks.

I like the sound of the setup bro, was coming out of a 3 year hiatus myself, half way through setting up, my man blows up the back bedroom making BHO, him and his Mrs burnt but ok. The old bill on hi ass so that's put a damper on the show. I was looking to do sealed room too, first time doing so, but my concerns where smell. Looking to the future. What's your thoughts on a hybrid room, sealed but with a small filter and fan trickling outside to maintain a very light negative pressure

Things are cracking along guys. Been busy buying more and more bits for this room as the room is being built. All the walls, isulation etc is done. Full tanking and sealing.… run all the network cabling for all the trolmaster gear.

Winch for lights built. Just in process of cleaning and silencing down an old 90 lt a day alorair dehu i just picked up. And had a merv 13 / hepa filter made for the room, which will cycle the air 30 x an hour thru it. UVC irrigation line treatment. Ensuring nothing untoward will be growing in this perfect environment.

Was thinking about picking up a PCO sanitiser from GAS but decided the uncertainties about voc its can give out esp in high co2 environments put me off. So I’ll stick with hepa and my UVC predator lights that go on for ahout 5-10 mins when lights off to help keep any potential pests at bay by frying their reproductive systems….

Will be pics soon. we no hurrying the build. Wrapping the whole room in 100mm rockwool, acoustic plaster board and floating air gaps takes a while to get right. And vapour sealed first. We put the cuttings back by another 8 weeks. this is to be as easy runs as poss, so slow and meticulous build out is required. Run all the cat 6 and rj12 is boring! Lol
