Hey People :ying:

I just thought I would take a few pics of my new room for now.
I have fitted a TD Silent 125mm fan in the back left of the room to help perfect temps in the UKs unpredictable weather. I have also built a fibreglass tray with drainage, used a white gel coat to make water proof. I have also reduced from 2 1000 watter's to just 1 and utilised the other reflector in my vegging room so no waste. Link to my previous room as still same nutes etc: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=165902
This is week 2 flowering for 19 of them and week 1 for the rest.
The strains from memory are: Strawberry Diesel, SLH, AK48, Thai Haze x Skunk, White Russian, S.A.D, Blue Cheese and a few others that I have forgotten. Anyway enough stoned jibbering and onwards with pics:
Enjoy folks :thank you:

Thanks Moppel :) I labled up all the strains initially but when I took cuttings off them I just took 4 cuttings off each mother whacked them all into a cup of water then rooted them all not knowing which are which lol.

Isn't your room a tad hot especially considering it's a air-cooled hood?

Good luck some nice strains.....

I have removed the glass to allow more lumens as I have increased the extract. When the door is shut the sms controller keeps temps at 25 as I programmed. When the glass cover was on temps where 22 to 21 so I removed it. Also they get fooking dirty well quick.

Cheers Edgey mate :thank you: The temps are perfect and I could probably go back to 2 1000's again but thinking vertical this time if I do. The temps should be perfect with the amount of extract I have lol 1 x 200mm etaline for shade when glass in place, 1 x 200mm etaline attached to 200mm rhino cf and 1 x 125mm TD Silent fan to run through the night for more peacefull sleep along with 125mm intake on 24 hours all controlled with sms controller. Believe me I have invested a shit load just into intake and out take as enviroment is key :) I also have a spare 2 x 125mm rvks as well as 2 x 150mm rvks to play with if I want to change intake to 150mm in the summer.

If it's reading 26.8 on the wall then the canopy where the buds will be forming will be slightly higher.... If I had an air-cooled hood and could control the temps with it I would have it a tad lower so as not to cause even a bit of stress to maximize the chances of the buds reaching there full potential...... Was only trying to help I'm so anal about environment it's stupid but saying that on my last crop I achieved .3 of an oz more per plant and the only thing I did was drop my temp to 75 from 80 at plant canopy where the flowers are growing.....

:tiphat:

Wow you guys are quick that was for the first reply from edgey lol...

On a side note about the glass getting dirty you can buy an airsock that goes inline before the light it catches most particles and dirt ect....

Good luck with your grow dude :)

I have grown all these strains before but I like the strange taste of the Thai Haze x Skunk I also like the White Russian for the solid xmas tree buds. I found the SLH not to my taste but smokable :) The biggest problem I suffered in the last grow of this was the weight of the buds from these strains specially SLH and the Thai Haze X Skunk, due to having such a large shade I am not able to use yoyo's. But for about an hour and a bit I have just fitted plastic netting across the full length of the room over the plants to aid heavy yielders :) I sweated a fir bit as had to take them all out raise the light etc and spent a while on my knees fitting the net but as you will soon see it will be worth it.

Sorry folks been a bit busy but here is another update coming up to week 6 and 8 for some. I have used a can of deodorant so you can see how fat the buds are getting :) The sativa's will be going 11 weeks but you can see at this early stage they are looking lurvely :)
As for remembering the 19 other strains I have no idea lol I literally just took 4 cuts from each labelled mother and put them all into one big container of water and put into riot cubes not knowing what they where.

I decided to leave this flower room as it was as it is perfect for me :)
I then decided to make a 2 foot by 2 foot by 3' mini flowering room in the loft and drilled a 5" hole in the flooring in the middle of the room, put some 5" duct in their and ran it under the flooring in the cool space then attached it to a cool tube which I took out the internal reflector so just a clear glass tube with a 400 watt MH bulb for flowering, and a 400 watt red sodium for flowering. I attached that to the roof of the grow room and will place plants all around the cool tube veg then flower them. I will take pics once finished properly as I am using a 400 watt in such a small place I need to add a separate intake and out take to cope with temps :)
