Hi Folks, I've been a member here for 10+ years now, but was away from the growing scene for a long time.
Back When I started it was little micro grows, and a bit of outdoor.
Just a bit to get my feet wet and start learning my way around.
Here we are now 10 years later. Now a homeowner, free to do what I choose.
So here's the plans.
#1 Mama / Propagation room. The intent is my own personal library of Bonsai mamas of my favorite genetics.
-6 ft x 6ft x 7ft 6in
Lights will be 2 x 400w MH in air cooled reflectors above the upper table. Directly under those will be the cloning, sprouting etc area.
This will have a mix of 5000k 5000 lumen LED Corncob Lights, High quality high output Fluro's etc.
The room will also feature a Green LED work light.
Humidity and Temperature will be monitored and controlled by Inkbird controllers, A small heater, a cool mist humidifier, and intake and exhaust fans.
The air cooled lights will be ducted to a controllable diverter damper so the hot air from the lights will either be directed outside of the house, or into a floor vent in the living space above, (controlled by a thermostat in the living space.) as this will save some heating cost in the winter.
Room #2 Veg room
Room size will be 6ft x 10ft x 7ft 6in
Lights will be 3 x 600 watt metal halides or perhaps even 3 x 1000MH as I already have the ballasts and I will just run them dimmed to 60%
The room will have one table 30" off the ground 10ft long and 40"
Deep, this should be plenty of space to veg 40-50 plants for the 2-3 week max veg period, (if growing SOG)
There is a possibility that I may need more veg space to support the amount of flowering rooms that will be filled.
Again temperature and Humidity will be controlled via Inkbird controllers. Also will be supplementing CO2 via bottles and constant monitoring controller.
Room #3 Flower Room 1
This is in the same building as room 1 & 2 and will be 10ft x 12ft and 7ft 6" and will actually be divided in two in a flip flop setup
with 3 x 1000w HPS on either side.
Inkbird controllers again
Rooms 4 & 5 are identical so I'm putting them together
Both are at opposite ends of a 40 ft shipping container and are 12ft x 8ft x 8ft
Lights are 6 x 600W HPS on each side in a flip flop setup.
Ventilation is provided by twin 14" vortex fans on each end.
Temperature and Humidity are old school thermostats and Humistats?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Genetics that will be starting with are as follows.
3 Phenos of Barneys Triple Cheese
5 Phenos of Barneys Sweet Tooth #1
5 Phenos of Buddah Seeds Kracken
5 Phenos of SamSara Green Love Potion (Amazing so far, one bean popped in less than 18hrs)
I'll be running Remo nutrients, as well as some high test mycological boosters and a few select aminos, and a compost tea for foliar feeding.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll attach some photos of the build out of the mama room and the Veg room in the next day or two, and will try and summarize my Grow logs here for any interested parties.
