2 Room Perpetual Basement Grow Build

Run #2 Update

Run #2 Update

So as I said before, the first run I did a just a few plants to get dialed in to my room and they ended up being all male. Bad luck for sure. This time the 5 I have are all female! (Except one the preflowers are still a little too small to be positive but looks to be female so far). I’ll post this update with a handful of pictures I’ve taken over the past month, the last of which was taken today. I just cleared up some of the lower growth and super cropped the two main branches on each plant. Everything is going great. They’ve been under the HPS for a few days at 750w. In about a week or so I’ll crank it up to 1000w.

So, here we are. Transplanted into 5 gallon final pots. About a week maybe two depending on growth, I’ll be switching over to flower. They’re looking great. Had to buy a humidifier. Since the colder weather has come, I’m not pulling in any humidity anymore really and my humidity dropped down to 30% for a few days. Back up to 45-55% now. Light cranked up to 1000w.

They sure are doing great! All i did in the last week was transplant into 5 gallon pots and tied down the main branches to open up the center for more light. And then a couple days ago i cranked it up to 1000w from 750w. Ill post a few more pictures :). Today after work I changed the bulb to an HPS and set the timer for 12/12 then fed with the flowering mix.

Eyyyyy looking good. Room construction is always a B@$#! But that paid off definitely.

Yeah it definitely took a lot of planning time and money and learning but it was well worth it that’s for sure. Today will be day five of flower and I’ll post some more picture updates when I get out of work. :)

Awesome! Ready to see em. Love that you are keeping up with this thread.

When you finished building your room, did you wish you could go back and do it over knowing what you know now? Sounds super weird, but after building one out its like the second goes super smooth..

Well I did wish that after I did the flower room (even though it’s not done). The framing was a lot better And the drywall and electrical went in way faster lol. But otherwise I’m pretty satisfied with it all. The only thing that upset me was the charcoal filter not fitting parallel to the roof because the window is too close to the ceiling, so I had to makeshift a crappy platform for it. But it’s not a huge deal.

And thanks ClubCannabis! Appreciate that. Next year I should hopefully be able to get everything I need for the flower room to be up and running so I don’t have to do full runs in what’s meant to be a veg only room.
