The Room: 4' x 4' Mylar lined Grow Tent from eBay! The room includes a TAG system, (2) 345W LED Grow Lights (310W actual power draw each), and a CO2 Enrichment System (will turn on 02-07). A water chiller is being installed 02-06 to keep the reservoir temps at a constant 67-72 degrees, and an oxygenation pump will continuously enrich the nutrient solution. CO2 will be run at 1500ppm, the room temp will be maintained between 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, and the humidity will be maintained between 60-75%. A circulation fan will be installed next week as well to make for sturdier plants.
The TAG System: 4' x 2' x 1' TAG (true aeroponic gardening) tray made by Hydro-Grow. TAG is the most advanced form of aeroponics, utilizing high pressure pumps and fine mister/fogger nozzles to create a moisture and oxygen rich environment for explosive root growth. TAG systems generally run on a cycle timer, allowing the misters to turn on for 30-45 seconds, then off for 3-5 minutes depending on the gardener's preference and the number of misting nozzles you have. The cycle repeats continuously, creating a fog like environment inside the grow tray and allowing the roots to dry out partially between watering cycles. TAG systems use far less nutrients and water than other forms of hydroponics, making them the most economical for the gardener. A member on these forums by the name of PetFlora recommended that we build a TAG system several months ago, and provided us with quite a bit of information on the topic. This will be our first grow utilizing this exciting new form of aeroponics, and we hope it lives up to all the claims.
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice Bloom, Bud Candy, Big Bud. We may also get some Bushmaster, Gravity, and PurpleMax as well, but it's currently undecided. We will be sure to post if we do use it
Strain: Sour 60 Autoflowers by MDanzig (fellow ICMag sponsor). The seeds were supplied free of charge, so a BIG THANK YOU to MDanzig This will be our first time EVER growing an autoflower strain, so this grow is certainly an experimental one for us on several levels. We chose the "Strong" phenotype as labeled by MDanzig, and planted 17 seeds on 01-26. All seeds popped their first root within 3 days (many within 24 hours), which is a testament to the quality of his seeds. We will weed out the males in a few weeks when sex begins to appera, and hopefully end up with 8-10 healthy females in the end. We look forward to seeing what they can do!
Grower: My wife will be performing this entire grow!!! I will be taking the photos and posting it on the forums, but this time it's her turn. It will be her FIRST time ever running a bloom room, as that has been my job primarily over the last several years. I will be running the 205W ScrOG grow that will be online shortly
