Here is my first grow show ever posted online! I have done indoor soil grows before but always on a small scale, (250whps plus cfl's), and also am working towards becoming a serious outdoor grower. Geurrilla growing is my specialty, 5+ years but still much to learn. where i live winter and snow make up half the year so i do indoor to help my income and just cause its so damn fun.
me and a friend have split on a 4bdrm house, we are currently running 1 1000whps, bare bones magnetic core ballast, ('recycled' from a commercial op), vertical, using a stadium/shelving setup.
We have a second 1000w bulb/ballast but cannot currently afford the second mogul lampbase, so we are using just the one for veg. On the 1st of next month we will be throwing the switch to 12/12.
We are using fafard agromix, perlite, miraclegrow organic choice, and blood/bone meal, also have some noname chemical nutes with all minor and secondary chelated nutes. Watering with airated tap water and distilled when i can afford it. unfortunately my water is extremely hard and has a high ppm.
we are growing 3 strains:
1. Durban Poison (9wk variety)
2. OWK (BC 007 x Kush)
3. BC Indy (BC 007 x bagseed indica)
We are extremely poor and put together everything for under 1000$.
The room is 10x8x8 and is actually a polyfilm room within a room.
We had a 9'' axial fan as outake, however after attaching the carbon filter it dramatically slowed and began overheating. Piece of shit IMO. so i took apart a large air purifier i had and mcgivered it to be used as an exhaust fan. it is has 3 settings and easily pulls enough air to cool the room.
Intake is a passive vent in the floor, cool air is pulled up from the crawl space below.
We are using various sized pots/growbags. yes the growbags are homemade.
Our carbon filter is also homemade, (used the pro diy here on ic! thankyou btw!), it has a 1/2 inch carbon layer and is fitted onto the homemade exhaust on the outer side of the wall.
its all kind of ghetto looking we know, but we worked with what we had to maximize our potential. I would have used smaller lights tbh but these were obtained super cheap.
thanks ic for all the great info! and thanks to the other inspirational vert growers!
ill be posting more as things develop, wish us luck!
