[TerryCider]

This is going to be my 4th grow, 2nd hydro grow. my first one went pretty good, hopefully this one does too.

the room: 7ft x 4ft 3x 5gl bubble buckets with 2ft x 2ft screens over each of them (4sq ft per plant!)

fan: stanley blower

lights: 2 150w hps to start (waiting for my 1000w switchablein the mail) it will also be air cooled

nutes: GH lucas formula

additives: AN bud blood, big bud and overdrive

genetics: blue cheese seeds.... just got done growing it for the first time....its pretty heady!


heres some pics of my room....i still got some plants in there that are coming down next week, plus my seeds still need to grow a little more

this is my first journal.... i really want to make this grow count before i move out of this house... so anyone that would like to follow and help me out that would be much appreciated

heres some updated pictures...

right now i got 2 150w hps lights...the 1000w halide will be here early next week, i also put some cfl's in there for some side lighting.

im using the lucas formula at 30% right now.

let me know how you think it looks

you using the 1000w to light all 3 buckets?

 

[JamieShoes]

very nice set up mate, although as implied above, you might want to use a rail or split the wattage over a few more bulbs (I'd probably go 2 x 400 myself for 3 sites).. still, looks very clean... can't wait to see how things unfold...


best of luck mate

you should run the 1000w in the middle and the 150's on the side! cool grow though like the scrog screens ill be watching

 

[TerryCider]

thanks for the input guys.... i know 2 smaller lights would have probably worked a little better but for the price im getting the ballast and reflector i had to go with the 1000.

check out www.dchydro.com.... everything is pretty cheap

greenatil- thats what i want to do.... thought that would be the best... but my temps are already around 85 with the 150's in there, plus a 1000..... its ging to be warm!

as of right now they look great tho!

 

[greenatik]

YIKES any way you can aircool the 1000? i don't recommend going above 90...

 

[TerryCider]

yes....i am cooling the 1000w...but with another 300 that is NOT going to be aircooled will be warm

heres some pics..... 7 days in veg

 

[TerryCider]

here they are....15 days into veg.... looking very healthy.

had some heat issues with my 1000 watt light, but we raised it up today and the temps seem to have dropped a good amount into the 77-81 range so far

I got an ounce and it had a bunch of seeds in it..... It was real heady, I already grew it once and it turned out great. It might be a blue cheese cross.... This one doesn't taste as cheesy as the cheese I bought.

Scrogger- thanks for takings look. With the screen attached to the lid I can clean the inside of the bucket everytime I change the water

 

[TerryCider]

heres some updates pics... i beleive they are 34 days into veg.

i will be flowering soon! cant wait

May I suggest a light mover. You'll get much more even coverage with that 1000 watter, and you can still keep it air cooled with flexible ducting. They also come standard with 6' rails, which would fit nicely in your 7'. Also, you could then do away with the side lighting, saving electricity costs, and keep heat lower.

"Paint the Timber or get ya Gaffa tape out"!

Hey Terry,
Me & my buddy were just admiring your modular Scrog dude, Very Cool.
We both noticed quite a quantity of bare timber in there. I've always used timber for my Scrog builds, Its strong & Easy to work with etc. I have always thought it nesessary to paint my timber with an anti-Mildew paint or a good oil based undercoat/Primer. I dont like the thought of bare/Untreated timber in a humid envirioment, it likes to harbour molds & fungi, Pests etc, this is the perfect environment for these potential hazards. It would just make me paranoid thinking that theres a chance this could go 'Pear- Shaped' just because i couldent be arsed to get me paint brush out!
We really like ya set up & ya Plants etc, just thought we'd throw are 20p in! Just asking for trouble iovho'
Bests of luck & Peace........'Scrog',...& My Special Guest Buddy......'SixSyde' who's quite a giggle when he's on form, Tally hoe!

I just stated some Blue Cheese also. How many times did you top your plants? How tall where they when you put them into flower?
