Your grow room is terrifying. Are you not afraid of mechanical breakdown of that badass spinner? It seems to be going so fast....how did you determine the rpm? Thx

Yeti,

Thanks for stopping in, I was away on a trip one day and was concerned about my setup and wanted to at least see it but then I thought if something was wrong then what do I do, necessity is the mother of invention.

GS,

Thanks for the enthusiasm and positivity and all the help along the way, your advice and input helps considerably.

La Grasserie,

Yes it is pretty scary and when I read your response I that old Dudley Moore movie Crazy People comes to mind where he writes the ad slogan for the movie The Freak, "This movie won't just scare you, it will fuck you up for life."

I guess thats why my next upgrade is all about safety because as you can imagine a holt bulb with current running thru it slapping you upside the head cant feel great, as far as the RPM's go, the manufacturer says thats the speed the unit spins at. If the spinner goes down it's not the end of the world, I can leave the lights stationary and connect the ballasts to standard reflectors and the manufacturer has a great turn around time on rebuilding the spinning unit.

They do offer a package but I chose to buy the pieces individually in case of problems that sometimes arise and I prefer Lumatek ballasts. The hood is 42" x 18" so it's pretty large.

Sweet setup man. I had tried to setup a computer controlled room, i couldn't get it reliable enough, and it wouldn't keep its timing while the computer was off. Would you elaborate on what hardware/software you used? Essentially you could completely automate the process, nutrient dosing, watering, raising lights, everything. And what about the encryption on the camera like said above, that could be some real exposure if someone could see the feed and then track the ip address to a physical address.

Terminal,

PM for technical and security questions.


Here is what we will be working with for the next cycle...




So as you can see we have five different types of soil above and what we will be doing is taking one strain which is yet to be determined and running fourteen cuts in seven different soil blends. Four blends are shown above, Canna Bio-Terra Plus, Roots Organic, Fox Farm OF, and Fox Farm Planting mix. Along with those I will be using a 1-1-1 blend of the FF-OF, FF-Planting and FF Light Warrior as well as a blend of 2-1 FF-OF to FF-LW and my own blend of equal parts Canna Coco, Canna Bio-Terra Plus, FF-OF, Expanded Perlite and a blend of nutrients and "Seed-Starter".

So the only question is who do I run in this experiment, GDP or Banana Kush? Any opinions or suggestions?

[subrob]

thatd be a tough choice between GDP and banana k. coin flip maybe? look forward to seeing results.....sub
-once again(or still)...
-----EDIT: must spread rep....

[La Grasserie]

GDP. that stuff is bomb ass smoke.

<--- Stands up and claps!!!! Very impressive!!! I wish i had the room, money, and effort for this, I came across this on accident somehow, and bravo! I can't wait to see what you produce from this clean ass setup. People should all see this and take notes.

go for the gdp man!
