What size wire did you pull for it?
stussy22- Not sure on the size of the wire, but it has 200amps available and was done legit.
Craftsmanship, lets be glad it isn't mine! I can dream it up though. Me neither I am more then ready to bang some shit through.
Electrician- Don't worry the electrical will be on point. I have done a few builds with my electrician and he always gives me exactly what I want, no question. I have a bad ass light controller enroute, I will get pictures up when it arrives. I am OCD, and even all my slack for something like a wall fan will be tightly rolled, zip tied, and secured. No extension cords in this beast, and no cornors cut!
PD- Thanks!!! lol I am glad you are here to have my back man, if not for you I would be posting alot this winter in the frosty buds thread and it wouldn't be the right kind of frost! When the framing is finished, the electrician will come in, then insulation, then the faces of the walls. I have 45 days or so to have this done so still lots of time for the details that matter.
Learner 43- It sure is! lol Believe me when I say a cement mixer has been mentioned way more then 10 times. My problem is I don't really no organics very well and the math to break down my recipe into smaller amounts. I looked at some recently and I don't think it would hold one single batch, if it did I would buy it in a heart beat. How many bags of cement can you cram in one of those things? gallons of water? The pile above is 4 batches so one batch isn't all that big but it adds up, I would guess 100 gallons of soil.
Aod2012- if it can be done it will be!
Choc- hell no! see below....
Sneaky G- Wow thanks alot. I try real hard, I'm an all in or out kind of guy. I really treat what I do as a profession because in my heart and mind I believe it is. This room is my dream coming together, it has been a long road getting here and I will be glad when this is up and running smoothly.
xmobotx- It does work good, being able to grab the tarp and flip the shit over after stirring. Thanks, we will be there soon enough time is flying right now.
Also you guys a cement mixer would be cool, but honestly I need the exercise and I am young But if one will fit one batch of soil, Im am in!!! lmao
Two more walls went up today and some other odds and ends. Remaining for framing is the veg wall and ceiling, framer is just waiting on me to seal up barn door real good and insulate. He will bang that out in about an hour once I have my part done. I need to have it finished being framed by mid next week so we have more then enough time. Power panel upgrade next week, framing finsished, and electrical going in is the goal. After that we will insulate and wall her in, paint, lay pond liner, build some shelves and other custom shit to come.
Sour Bubbles are in 5 gallon pots veggin real nice, been double topped. I am thinking about double potting them into the 10's, maybe like 2 gallons of the 5 gallon rootball sticking out of the 10 gallon.
Alright the soil mix. ALL credit goes to Blazeoneup for this mix, he is the one who put me on to it, as well as the RDWC buckets. Love that guy and without him I wouldn't be where I am today, so heres one for you Blaze! I had two versions from him, I have ran both and decided to meet in the middle and modified it with no organic knowledge what so ever lol
I have had many noobs run this shit with great success, 1.25#/1.5#+ per light all day with this mix. I only starting using it because I came up with some space but didn't have enough power to run hydro. The space I started with orginally was a veg room for my RDWC system but it never ended up that way, I just started banging this out in it. Next thing you know I was flip flopping 2K perpetually with this mix. 1K Veg room, and two 2K flower rooms, never missing a beat.

My Modifed Version: <=====What I currently run.
You can mix all this shit up and just add water. I don't even PH it, some sensitive strains would rather you PH it. Feedings help but most indicas will flower in this no probs and love it. Awesome mix for keeping moms, 4-6 months, cut root ball replant, add water So easy a noob can do it.
1 x Bag Canna Coco
1 x Bag Ocean Forest
1 x Bag Happy Frog
1.5 cups Bonemeal
1.5 cups Bloodmeal
1.5 cups Lime
30# Earthworm castings
1/2 cup Foxfarm Peace of Mind Fruit and Flower
1/2 bag chunky perlite
I normally do two Beastie Bloom feedings and one Cha Ching feeding if it is a long flowering plant. I feed 1/2-1tsp per feeding. (I know ruin the organics, have another suggestion let me know)
This soil mix rocks for me, not the best, I admit. Getting the flush right is a pain. Try one batch, maybe one plant, add water and see what you think. It is key not to let stuff get root bound, and having a slightly oversized pot helps make sure you have enough nutrients to finsih out the show.
Some plants grown in the three mixes above, mostly my version:
Density is GREAT from the mix. Just add water!

Sour Bubble 420 Cup crop, my best crop to date many agree: (I would run into a blazing building to save this cut)
The list goes on and on. Dear server, I am sorry for this huge post.
Any organic nerds out there? I am clueless...Break down my current version and tell me what you would do and why and let me understand it. When it comes to the measurements is where I am lost, math isn't my thing unless it is in grams
