ICMag with help from Landrace Warden and The Vault is running a NEW contest in November! You can check it here.
Prizes are seeds & forum premium access. Come join in!
The project will be on going for another week or so finishing up small things here and there, and then of course down the road after a couple rounds some upgrades to come. I still need to hang another t5 in the veg room, my standard flouros, and move my easycloner in. The flip/flop rooms will be built sometime in April.
Also some cleanup is in order after a transplanting 35 girls. In 3 weeks I will be adding some more equipment, 4K lighting in the flower room, a carbon filter and fan, and a chiller tied into my water supply. Also better airpumps, larger secondary water storage, fans and ect. My RDWC room is coming to an end, sad to see it go but it is time. I have 24 pre95 sensi star girls in there nugging out nicely.
It is stupid how you can finish your dream room, and have a list of dream upgrades...Here is the list if I had it my way.
Undercurrents most likely to come with fully automated top off and nutrient/ph stabilizing, thats the dream anyway Also a Santa Fe Dehuey or two is in order, a secondary Mr.Slim 3.5ton mini split system, a 30K+ propane backup generator, and possibly a 400amp service upgrade. Oh and 3 light movers for the veg room!
Lets just get to the damn pictures already!
Here is the back wall to my work room, excited to get my microscope out finally my gf got me for our anniversary one a couple years ago and also excited about the 4 month planner. The security system is wired up and ready with 4 cameras covering indoors, waiting on 4 more cameras, 2 for inside and 2 hidden outside. Got the USB radio to keep the tunes going while I am working.
Here is the water wall in the work area. If you look near the top left cornor you will see the 3 clear condensate pump hoses, feeding the tankf rom the two dehumidifiers and the AC. To the right you see the grey barrel, I refer to it as the secondary water supply. I have 6 more 44g trash can like that one, I will hose together 4-6 of them recirculating. I will use this tank to mix nutes in when I feed, and also when I bring in tap water , which eventually ends up in my 500 gallon supply for flushing. The air pump will be upgraded in a few weeks to a commercial pump, there is a tri meter to track temps and ph. Also under the shelf is a 750gph UV unit, I can use this to recirculate water in my tank if I feel it needs it, or to prevent any ickys. The chiller and additional gray barrels will be added in a few weeks, also a 6 stage reverse osmosois double ionized 200gpd system. I am going to try and rig it up with a water pump. Alot of detail in wiring the barrel up with meters and pumps, it is ready to rock.
Here is the ballast wall in the work area, don't worry, in a few weeks when I add the rest of the ballast and am done juggling them around I will clean this shit up like a 1989 entertainment center. You can see I have 2 1100cfm wall fans ready to cool all four shelves of the ballast. Not needed now but perhaps in the summer months it will be nice to get the heat away from there and over towards the intake to the lung/flower room. 2 smoke detectors, a fire extinguisher, safety first kids! I think overall there is 7 smoke detectors, 3 fire extinguishers, and 2 propane/co2/methane alarms. These will be able to be heard form my wireless baby monitor that will be here shortly. Also has temp dsiplay The trash cans are my soil bins and transplanting area.
This is the 14" 1700cfm maxfan that sucks from the veg room and blows into the flower room. When I shut the flower room door, the air travels through the AC vent sytem very well, creating awesome circulation through out the rooms. I am getting perfect night/day temps in veg and flower right now. The fan is strong enough to hold a nice hepa filter on, awesome, clean air. The ar gpes through a total of 4 hepa filters like this one, they will be changed out bi weekly or so.
Here is the veg room, it needs 3 light movers, one more t5, my easy cloner, a wall fan, and my standard flourous added. This will all be finished here soon. Under the 1K MH lights are 30 freshly planted well rooted sour bubble clones. They are a little crazy since they had 4 weeks in the cloner on stand by. Few more days and they will be loving their new 5 gallon starting pot Under the T5 is the new mamas, all fresh transplants. The stick figured on is ecsd, she vegged to 3 ft in the cloner basically, had to chop her down. The big girl is pre95 sensi star, she will be the next mono crop.
Alright the flower room, I have all my old mamas in here, and 6 donor plants from a friend. The oldest is the pre95 sensi star, she is 18 months + old, had her root ball chopped and repotted quite a few times. The biggest is......ecsd....she is going to be a monster in 5 weeks. I will be whipping her into submission anyday, it will be an ongoing project lol
Looking in, notice the ladder. I have a new post for the "You know you are a real grower if thread"- You know you are a real grower if you need a ladder to see the tops of your plants, raise your lights, and prune.
Tree mode engauged.....Front left is my EastCoastSourBubble, first time running my favorite pheno thus far from clone.

If your interested to see more of the girls in flower check out my album. Great shows of frostiness to come from this. Thanks everyone who accompanied me on this longer then expected journey/project. I actually can't believe I did it sometimes the smile hurts. It feels good to be able to farm again anytime I want, I was missing my girls.
Greenmatter- EXACTLY, so glad to be back to dirt under my nails.
Blazeone- Hell yeah man check out my House of Love thread in the strains and hybrids section. I let 4 sour bubble bx4 males pollenate, collected them seperatley. I have made seeds from two of the males, tested one, and the other is being tested now. The two remaing males will be making seeds in 4 weeks or so. I wasn't as happy with the bx4 ladies so I don't have very high hopes for any of the males. They are good, jyst not what I was looking for. Luckily I have a pack of Bog's orginal return release, which is the same batch I found my girl in. I will be whoreing all those males out on the ecsd as well. Also, as of right now reversing my SB lady and throwing her on the ecsd. Let it be known this is not sour dubble, sour dubble is ecsd x nycd, according to everything I could find. All doceumneted in the thread. I am reversing basically every female I ahve right now since I have spac ein my humbers and extras cuts, going to try and get a nice stash of each for experiemental crosses. Also have 5 different males of jedi kush (deathstar x og kush) to splash on every single mama in flower. The females were exceptional, and one lady was a 100% keeper.
Dr.Dank- No I do not like soil better. I was born to grow in a RWDC type system. However, this soil mix is depenadale and proven and does pretty well. Starting up fresh with this high of running cost and already broke would make hydro to risky at this time, so I am sticking to the dirt for now unitl I am comfy again. thanks and you to!
BAAAAMMMMMMM!!!!!!! Great to see things finally up and running brother! This is definitely going to beon of your sweetest harvests. Happy for you homey! Keep it green.
