Don't you want to build a room in a room and use some reflective film on the walls ?
Especially since it directly translates into your gasoline bill, you could easily make that room a little more effective I think ? What's with the wind generator?
Don't take this the wrong way, I love your cabin grow and especially liking the first aid kit. Growroom safety is always a priority ;-)
All the best,

Hey Chevy

I might be overdoing it on watts but canopy thermometer ranges between 75 and 82 and down to 65 during lights out. Also the cabin is On grid with 220 volt service, and all 1600 hps watts are running on 220 saving me a little on electric bill. Connected to the grid the cost is 4 to 5 times cheaper then running the generator. The 40 oz is on the low end estimate, but 80 would have been possible if I hadnt damaged the plants within the first few days before I got the room dialed in. I also suffered thripes until a heavy dose of neem oil knocked them out. Wind generator will have to wait till summer. The room could definitly be more efficient. Its a work in progress and the flat white kilz has some reflective value.

Thanks bub

Soooo.... In the grow room was significant droop this morning. I turned a couple lights off and turned one of the hps down. Only have 1400 watts on for now until I see the plants fan leaves start pointing up again. I dont have a par meter, but its very possible some bleaching occured. Only been growing for 4 years and I still have a lot to learn.



Pistil buttons forming 8 days in.

Put the 5 in the 20 gallon under a scrog. Defoliated and tucked.... I'll give them a few days to a week for lower branches to catch up while the tallest branches are weeved horizontal.

30 days into bud. Dropped a lot of leaves and still have lots of yellow. I think I may have over watered a bit. most tops are 3/4 inch across and fairly dense. Kept wattage at 1400 since the last post.



Got a single gg4 seed popped and in rockwool for my first attempt at DWC hydro under 200 watts t5.



Going to flip this scrog +2 into bud today. 500 watts DE hps. Not as much tucking on the canopy as usual, but a couple rounds of heavy defoliation.

Harvested this ugly bitch. They cant all be super models.



Think it was some heat stress in combination with over-watering. Dropped too many leaves and the buds were dense but small. The rest of the girls are looking great and have 2-3 weeks left to go.

Merry Christmas growers.

Cut a few down average 1.5 oz. Not great numbers so far but left the bigger plants flushing longer at 63 days now.



This one might be 8 oz +.


30 days into bud on the 20 gallon scrog and the two in 3 gallons of dirt and smart pots heavily trained and defoliated at 3 weeks bud.

I am digging this. I have always wanted to live off grid, and Alaska is a great place to do it.

Drifted snow has gotten too thick to drive to the house; now we use the snow machine.

Largest single plant yeilded just over 3 oz. The large one I was expecting 8 from yeilded only 5.75 oz but was 2 plants. I was doing great and I got off track somewhere so Im going back to my original soil mix... worm castings perlite fox farm ocean forrest dolomite lime. This last run of 12 plants yeilded 19 oz.
