What did you wrap the 8 in hepa intakes in to make them fit better?
I picked those up recently, but they seemed to block flow too much.
I was worried this would then pull unfiltered air through micro holes ect.

Really nice setup BTW.

I was worried of the same, also i picked up
⁵/¹⁶ window screen frame and corners and thin spline.

These will be cut and assembled to fit the Velcro perimeter of the square vents. I Will screen in thin Merv 13 hepa materials and attach with industrial Velcro and all weather duct tape to seal the Velcro to frame transition

Air flow, i put exhaust on 1, and felt air being sucked in, also did the smoke test (with reefer of course, no tobacco anywhere near my grow) and it pulled in satisfactory

To make HEPA plugs fit better, its 3/8" thick neoprene speaker gasket.

Thank you for the compliment. I am very excited about this go around. Its not huge by any stretch of the imagination, but i plan on ocd level husbandry. No expense will ne spared when it comes to giving these ladies the perfect environment.

These are the specific filters i used.

The pic of the old 2x4x4 shorty tent in basement, you can see an empty frame for filter on the right side square

Those are the same 8 in (7 1/2) I have I think.
Do you find you have enough airflow through them?
I was worried they would block flow to the point air just bypasses and comes in through pinholes ect.

Is the DC17 replacement what you use for a 6 inch version?


I just flipped NorCal DosiDos cuts in BAS 3.0.
I’m kinda blown away how easy it is compared to coco.

Your threads making we want to start a journal.
I still have that old PTSD voice saying you’ll end up in a cell though🤣😅
Despite being Rec with 12 plant limit per household.

So i had to just to appease my sick mind, excavate a few cm is soil to see if the seeds are doing their thing.

They are, I'm just soo rusty with seeds.

Like its been 10 year's since i grew, and even then, i was running clones for the last 5 years.

So seeds weren't an all the time thing.

I uncovered 1 each lightly just to see the top of shell, all we're goosenecking, except for 1 Bubba i planted upside down. But itll orientate itself, got light's on now too, as i forgot about light stimulus orientation

Merv 13 biological HEPA filter screened into 5/16 90° corner screen frame with ⅛" spline.

I'll see what temperatures do with this in but I may end up swapping to merv 8

Well This is supposed to be The spot for My official grow log, but it’s got derailed due to a few stupid things.

But let’s move on grow is finally on track and very close to a 12 12 flip

We got in flower;
ACI 5X5 TENT;
medic grow smart 8 plus 760w(Samsung lm301h)
Aci u4 supplemental UV bars in between the smart 8 bars.
Mars hydro ir 55 35" Infrared supplement bars in between medic grow bars
Aci s16 supplemental full spectrum bars attached to each corner
3x aci 6" circulation fan’s
Aci 8" t8 pro inline on exhaust
Strains; 3x ag seed (On Haze x OG Haze) x nl2, 3x AG seed NL5, 2x csi Humboldt LEMON G x Lemon Party and 1 paradise Sensi star

2x4 aci tent; mother’s tent
2x vipraspectra p1000 (Samsung lm301h) 100 Watt panels.
2x aci 6" circulation fan’s
ACI 6" t6 pro on exhaust
Strains ; paradise Sensi Star, CSI Humboldt Obama Care, csi Humboldt sour o’s

2x3 aci tent; mother’s, clone and early Veg
2x vipraspectra p1000s
1x aci circulation fan
Aci 4" t4 pro on exhaust
Strains; 2x T-Square manifestation moon stomper, true canna Britney, CSI sour o’s

Lung room:
1 aci t8 pro inline venting to outside
1 aci t6 pro venting to outside
Magnavox 12k btu AC/Dehum
Aci smart co2 controller hooked to hydrofarm regulator on 20lb tank (this is just to keep co2 around ambient if our human output doesn’t keep it in the high 500ppm-600ppm)
Aci t7 humidifier, aci t3 humidifier
Air conditioner condensate pump dumps water into a basement drain from tubbing going through floor

2x rolling carts with supplies. 2 60 Gallon bins packed full of build a soil coots mix and 3.0 using roots lush as base

In closet is a aci 2x2 tent with venting not setup yet for drying harvest

Decided to toss the plants from seed into flowers tent and pots, ill take a few clone’s each prior to flip to keep em around till after harvest in Case we got keepers

Why ? Because im growing very impatient, and I’m jonsing bad to see a living plant full of bud after a 10 year sabbatical From growing and available weed sucks.

All plants in all tents are in 50 50 bagged Roots lush and 3.0 with lush base. Lush itself is a super soil, can take plants 6-8 Weeks on its own as Many report and roots claims.

Temps ive so far learned with LED need to be in the mid 80s (83-86) I’m keeping humidity at 55-60 in lung room overall, when flowering is commenced ill drop it to 50, and supplement veg mom tents with t3 humidifiers

Running night temps and rh at 73-75 and 45-40 rh. Veg lighting is 18/6


FIRST 4 pics are the 9 choosen to flower
