Hey all, it's been a while since I've done any indoor or been on here for that matter... been doing greenhouse for the last few years and just decided to get back into the indoor scene. Figured I should share my new project and get back onto this site regularly as it has always been there in times of confusion or just wanting to check out some awesome grows and gain knowledge. For this starter project Ive built a 13'x16'x 8' room in my 2 car garage. Im putting together an 80 light warehouse over the next 4-6 months and decided I should get back on my indoor game to make sure my skills on point once that place is built and ready to rock. Im running Tahoe OG, Boss OG, and Guerilla Glue #4. Ill lay out the equipment list and basic design first and then get into specific techniques and feed schedule used in the next few posts. All main equipment is listed below.
Lighting (New):
12 Nanolux DE remote ballasts 600-1200w adjustable
12 Hortilux Eye DE bulbs
12 8'" AC/DE Hoods
Environment:
Used 23k btu Ideal Air Portable A/C 220v(No outside air exchange)
Used 10k btu LG window A/C 110v(No outside air exchange)
14" Can Max Fan for AC hood ventilation
3- 16" Circulation Fans for wind simulation
Co2 is 20lb bottles
Titan Co2 regulator
Sentinel Co2 Environmental Controller
150' of 8", 14" Non insulated ducting
Misc HVAC ideal air ducting connectors 8",12",14"
Hydroponics/Medium:
Greentrees Bucket System:
2- Controllers
70-80 Buckets/Inserts
2- 55 Gallon Barrels
140ish' of poly connector tubing
707 bag soil 4 bags (3cu ft each)
Vermipro Soilless Medium 4 bags (3.8cu ft each)
Water is via 200 GPD Hydrologic RO system (>50PPM Water)
Nutrients:
House and Garden:
Cocos A and B
Multi-Zen
Bud-XL
Shooting Powder
Rapid start rooting Compound
GH pH up/down
Actinovate fungal inoculant
Grow Room:
All construction was with 2x4 doug fir studs
5/8" osb sheating 4'x8'
2 1/2" outdoor decking screws
Concrete floor with heavy-duty tarp cover
Power is via 100amp sub panel running 2- 40amp 220 breakers for lighting and a 20 amp 220 breaker for A/C.
All support equipment runs off garage outlets which are a plenty with 2 separate 20amp circuits. One for wall outlets and one for the garage opener which has been disconnected for this project.
Design:
The room is 13' x 16' so the hoods are layed out in 3 rows of 4 hoods each. Hoods are hung about 8"s from the ceiling with 'S' hooks using 50lb chain. They are suspended from a 2"x"2 stud that also holds the trellis net as will be discussed later. The hoods are connected with 8" ducting secured with zip ties which is pulling in fresh air from the garage and venting out thru the attic which then vents outdoors. Ballasts are hung outside the room to help keep temps down. The air conditioners are mounted on opposite sides of the room to help even out cooling and circulation fans are mounted on 3 walls to create a windy environment. The sentinel controller is mounted outside the room on the opposite wall as the ballasts to minimize any electromagnetic interference and the co2 bottles are vented in from there as well. The monitor is hanging from the ceiling at the top of the canopy to best read temps and CO2 levels. The bucket systems are spaced according to plant needs and are fed from the rez outside the grow room but inside the garage. Nute temps are kept around 70-74 in the rezes. Temps in the room are 72 at night and 91-94 during light cycle. Ive got a couple things to do so ill hop back on here and get some pics and more info loaded up in a couple hrs. Peace and thanks for looking!
