Posting problems are away and my avatar is on so here we go
I know that i didn invent this way of this way of closing a cabinet but here s a little howto
I bought this black pvc foil at local DIY store its for garden pools , so you cut the damn thing into right proportions
Cleaning the edges with alchol so that you have a clean surface for the tape
Sticking the tape onto clean foil right on the edges
the othe side of the tape is set and screwd on a black duct tape
Black duct tape i put on the wood because it is a better surface for putting this other tape
I also screw this tape so that it doesnt loosen
And i also screw this other tape for just in case
And final product is clean no light leak and even air tight , behind the light is on .
This is one part of my work in progress with my grow room i cant go on writing my eyes are as good as dead tomorow i post the rest soon also bought a few things ...
I coverd the Mother box and Clonebox in white like i did with the rest of my rooms and i managed to work out the door with black pvc. I added a humidifier to my veg. box .
and replaced my old cloners with a transparent plastic box which is higher and bigger and has little legs so i can add a heater and dont worry because i dont have thermostat for the heater I hope
There is a few things to do but the growroom is almost done
I have to solve ventilation for my Mother box and Clone box. and I want to add a thermostatic control to my flowering room .
CO2 setup will wait a little bit ...
I tested the my ventilation with my veg. box on and running and temps were fine nothing changed so my plan worked i managed to vent 2 rooms with one good vent and filter both rooms with one DIY carbon scruber lol
And a peak to my flowering room where i try to keep lab conditions , all clean and white
This grow I have some different stages of flowering but i think my next grow timed and with clones. I expect some sensi Afghani #1 and Jack herrer hybrids next on my cutting table
This is how i connected two rooms with T duct and it works perfectly for me. I have two intakes in my flowering room .One is active 2x190m3/h and one is passive and this passive still sucks the fire from a lighter
thnx @justanotherbozo
This is it for now I hope u guys like it
I love your setup, basic, yet efficient. That is about the perfect setup for me, im glad I came across this. Also i've used a similar type setup for my clone box, and I like the way you make it look clean and professional.
thnx u guys for reading and commenting i hope i m not boring here are couple of pics of my new growroom in action
here is one clone that i will leave for mother because I like it (fast flowering)and a motherplant that has already survived heavy cutting
and here are some bagseed although i think they are jack hybrids...
and a little view to my flowering room
as i said this grow i have them in different stages of flowering and its not easy to keep them as close to the lights as possible even with lights going up/down but new round will be uniformed but hey this isnt so bad i will harvest every week few plants until i am finished .
I plan to put either cool tubes or Air cooled reflectors to my flowering room this will def. not be a DIY but I already see that i will build my self a thermostatic fanspeed controller .
Thinking about hydro setup but I dont know what kind of setup to choose any suggestions in my case of perpetual growing ?
it seems that somebody is trying to send me a private message but i cant recieve it because my postcount is below 50 sorry who ever you are but i cant read the damn message
its getting on my nerve its constantly blinking in the right corner
so here are a couple of pics just to keep u guys informed on my work in progress
This is my Afghani#1 sensi seeds finished and one of jack hybrids that are finishing ...
Here are new clones for part of my new grow that will be seed/clones combination and a very interesting indica from Nirvana that I got under Hindu Kush but i doubt so ...
I find it very interesting because of flower to leaf ratio and extreme resin production through all the leaves even the fan leaves are all coverd in trichs
so no more comments on my work in progress ?
my first clone is rooted after 7 days of rooting process and seeds have germinated so i hope this new round wil be more plants involved .
Today I ran into a big problem when the lights were working in my mother box and my cloning box and then the timer switched the 2x600W s in my flowering room and boom the switch went down and I couldn t get it on for a few seconds probably because the switch was heated . My electrician guy is comming next week to set up a new panel and new electrical counter so we will put 16 amps to that circut now its 10 amps.
I plan to run/running 3x600wHPS(flowering room), 1x400wMH(vegetation room), 1x200W CFL(Motherbox) and 3x18W(Clonebox)
lets say about 2.5 KW + ventilation and other things around 300W = 2.8 KW
what kind of amperage would u suggest and what wires to use ?
its all on one circut the whole grow and i would like it to stay that way ...
Well I am going to try your clone setup and see how it works for me, I am short on room in my veg box so i put the air pump and the reservoir on top of the box and ran about 3' of air line to the dome for the clones, I hope it works.
Also I used a big azz air pump for a lil more pressure, the small air pump i have just didnt seem to pressurize the line enough to suit me but i may try it again down the road.
@Bigboy ofcourse i dont mind i am glad it fits your needs but remember to mist them once a day the results are better the humidity just lets you to do it less frequently.
I have new things to show
My floor is from styrofoam panels coverd with white poly so the reflection is at top level and roots are kept warm
Here as you can see i dont have those budget reflectors i have 3x600W cooltubes inline connected to the vent and veg room where there is another CT and all that to my DIY carbon filter. Beneth the 3x Cool tube setup hangs an industrial vent that blows the air through the tops and brings the hot air to the vent hole of cooltube #1 that sucks the air. sorry for my english
This is my new round seed/clones but i have them 20 in my cloner also .and this second pic is my favorite view when i smoke i joint in my room an this last pis is just one plant from the last grow will upload more later ...
i am so happy now my growroom is finished i think
bought a thermostat but heh when i did open the damn thing i realised that i need some crimping preassure thing to put the wires into the contacts so it will wait a bit
Here are some bad news my house is old and the instalations are old also so the wire is too thin (1.5) and the insulation is old type not rubber or silicone type so the wire is maybe too warm i think i have a rough calculation of 2.8 KW that is running. When all three lamps go on at the same time my circut braker/fuse goes down so i lift it up and it works but its like this every time ... so i am worrying about eventual fire so i want sleep or leave the house until i do something about it . Due to old house situation it is not possible to install new wires through instalation channels because there arent one
but theres a bright side my new round of 20 clones have rooted also so now it will be maybe crowded in my flowering room about 30-40 plants
@bigboy here are some clones so you def. know and see that it works great for me i hope it does the same thing for you ...
Here is my lets say10 day cloning process and 10 days of rooted clone going in veg. and ready to transplant to a bigger pot and ready for flowering so for me its a 20 day process from cutting to flowering
Here is my vegetation box and 70% rh is maintained with humidifier although i am a little paranoid about water condesating in my cooltube or somewhere else the temps are too low 17C but i will install another heating math beneth
I have also started to build my own climate controler so i have bought a few parts but it is still in heavy construction
Its done my DIY thermostatic controler is up and ready for action
this is a second idea from DIY section
now i am waiting for my nutrients this time I couldnt get my hand on Biocanna so it will be a complete line from Hesi and off we go to new round i can say my biggest so far 32 plants under 3x600W
I seems that everybody is just reading not a post;comment on sight
I was planing about installing a drip feeding system because i dont know how the fuck am i suppose to water my plants in the last row i cant reach them at all and when they start to flower there will be no more space for me to walk around so i dont know what to do any suggestions ??
can anyone help me with putin a condensator/capacitor in my HPS setup
now I have 3 elements: ballast,starter and the bulb i would like to put a capacitor.
I have checked for 600W there is has to be a capacitor of 60 microfarrads . and i have 2x30 so probably it has to be connected in series so please help if u know
hey dude, sorry i don't know enough to answer your question myself but
i saw this discussed in Quazi's thread for remote ballasting a Vapor Tight
light. here's the link to that part of the discussion and i hope it helps.
Hi there nice set up i see here
I have a question i bought a fan rvk should i use it blowing into my cool tube and out of the closet or should i suck air through the tube and then blow it out of the closet?
well you can put it on both sides depend on what side you put your filter . its really up on you u must see what suites u best to have the vent inside the growroom on start of tubing with filter on the end pipe or vice versa.
though this setup needs some alterations cos 3 tube is gettin maybe little to warm but no problebms so far .
