Ironhead's 2K Perpetual Dream Room

Whats goin on? I'm Ironhead. I'm new to this site, but def not new to growin. I just moved into my first owned home, so I decided to take my grow to the next level by dedicating an entire room to the cause.


The flower room is a 9x9 area with about a 5x5 area that I blew out for the veggers to reside in. I got 2k watts in the flower room with 1-1000HPS and 1-1000 MH bare bulb vertically hung with a 14,000 btu dual hose ac to cool the room down. Seriously the mixed spectrum is the best thing that I have ever done for the garden.. hands down.



I grow in coco/perlite mix using the H3ad formula or 0-6-9 plus cal/mag. Thats it. super easy and has worked for me wonderfully for years now.


Enough talking.. let me get to some pics.

This is the bare room that I had to work with when first beginning this journey

Lets see if it will let me post any of these...


I'll keep updating how the room was built as I have time to update. Thanks for stopping by to check it out!:D
 
Hey dude, welcome to this forum! I used to post in your thread a year ago or so... Haven't been there a while rather here. It can be a real fecalflighiningfest but more of the time it's rather chill. I li ke that pic of the FCjuice, and any thing fruity. Are you going to frame a ceiling inthe too? I freakin hate spackkle ceilings.., always raining spackkle. Maybe it's just me. Any way iron, I'm subbed and ready for the run! Woop

I ran a 100 amp sub panel from an open spot on the homes already existing 200amp service.. I'm no electrician nor have I ever even ran one plug before.. now I'm wiring up the entire panel and doing it all myself. I loved every second of it too.:smoke:

It's all looking good man. Congratulations on your first house and good luck with the room!

That cable is super expensive. My friend gifted me a piece that was around $500.00. Had no idea it was so much.

Got the first strip of mylar installed!:

Here is the difference between 97% reflective of LIGHT which is mylar:

77370E84-6C4D-4E70-8C47-353321C88D01-2507-000005791F1E2810_zps6974cf46.jpg


And this is 96% reflective of ENERGY which is radiant barrier:

CLEARLY not the same.. I thought it was til I bought the mylar.. what a difference that stuff makes!
