framing to finish 5400W med-grow - Growroom Designs & Equipment - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

08-29-2006, 06:10 AM

it has come time to put back in what i got out... out of CW and ICmag, and out of my earnings from being part of a compassion club.

the building that has the med-garden had a leaky roof, rotten rafters and plate.
i am rebuilding, and sealing the room.

with the help of friends and family (hired help) i tore off the old cedar shake roof and plywood walls

the shell:

we lifted the wall and slid a new plate in. the new roof went on, a metal roof, and new exterior walls, plywood.

then i insulated and sealed with 6 mil vapour barrier:

and drywalled and mudded today:

tomorrow i have to tend to my outdoor gardens and then i shall return for painting. i'll be priming with zinsser's 1-2-3, and painting with debbie travis brand satin latex.

i think this shall be fun to share with y'all. i guess its more of a diary, but i think im more concerned presently with sharing my design and equipment.

so, pull up a chair, twist up a fatty (i prefer organic) and lets learn

Awesome this is gonna be great.

I'm gonna be watching this one.

That's one of my dreams to actually build the room yourself.

Desiging everything you'll need for your set up instead of having to bend your setup to the room.

so how much for flowering and how much for veg? What kinda space you working with?

Sealed room style is the way to go good idea there.

keep us posted.

looks excellent. . . I'm about to start framing for a much larger garden than this and originally I wasn't going to be as intense as your doing it but I've rethought it. . . drywall is really the way to go for a totally airtight climate controlled environment. . . Panda film works but not as well. Inspirational!

What system are you going to use? I'm thinking of starting off with straight drip into coco/perlite. I got 550 grams off a tray with coco/perlite under a 600W bulb with no Co2 using white buffalo (local NE strain) and it'll be hard to go wrong. I want to go hydro but I haven't used organics in hydro before and don't want to risk it for the first time. Anyways, keep up the good work bud. Peace

ill be growing organic in pro-mix, i've posted all over the organic soil forum my compost tea recipe. 40 plants per table/3x600w.

the room is 12x16, all for flower. i buy the clones from a friend for $5 apiece, well rooted in beer cups. my strain came from a west coast compassion club and were sold as "soma." i'm not sure but they do look a little like lavender. they only need to veg a week or less, and flower in 8-9 1/2 weeks.

sounds too good to be true, but i believe it. thats double what ive been yeilding! tell me more

i'm the kinda guy to go with what i know works. i dont like to change up too much and add more variables, but i am open minded.

bookmarked and saved!

this will be of great value to me someday, and when the moment comes I'll be ready

wow man thats crazy that its double what you've been yielding! hmmm. . .

LOTS of fresh air and air movement. PB Nutes all the way with added product called Hygrozyme, fairly high yielding strain (but not even exceptionally high yielding. . . )
pruned right, vegged for 2 weeks in tray.
Honestly there's not too much more to say. I can't imagine how I could be getting so much more unless its the genetics or the nutrients. You absolutely cannot go wrong with PB nutes so maybe do a test run on part of your garden. They're not OMRI or NOP certified organic but I would bet that results would be indistinguishable from certified organic formulas.

I watered around 1000-1200ppm EVERY TIME, watering to the point of saturation, and flushed monthly. No special tricks, no gimmicks. Air cooled 600W digital ballast with hydrofarm reflector.

AHHH your problem might be the genetics. Soma breeds some phenomenal weed--some of the best I've ever smoked. Alas, he is not scientific at all and his strains tend not to yield too well. Anyways, I gotta run. keep the conversation flowing.

strength, unity, and love.

i mudded 2 days ago and today sanded the joints in the drywall. man do i suck at mudding and sanding!

i primed the drywall this afternoon. i fuckin hate painting! much respect to Stoned2death for painting all day long for his job. and to all the drywallers out there too.

this is a rather boring photo of a rather boring job not well done. but i'm stoked to do it myself and i'm excited to be setting up this precious garden of the sacred herb!

Make it happen.

Putting all that personal energy into the room will pay off. I believe in that type of stuff. Especially if you keep in mind your intentions for the space as you create it.

It's looking killer. You've been blessed with a great situation. Take advantage.
