Cool Veg/Flower - DWC Buckets

I started off this post in another forum...asking about grow Idea's.....

This is then now, a completey scratched up....restiched version.....

The Room is a 14'-ish X 3'. Its kinda small but has cement Walls on two sides....
THe room is divided in almost half....Half of it is veg...and the other flowering....

The idea is to run a 400W HPS over a set of buckets for the Veg area....in this area we will house the mother plants and the clones before they move to the flowering room.

In the veg room we also have a 20W fluro off the celing with a shelf mounted to the wall directly under it. This is where we will put fresh clippings to start the process of growing roots. Here they will be under a plastic dome ment to keep the humidity high for their first weeds of life on their own.

Here are pics of the Buckets a few weeks back.






The Other Side of the room is again...flowering. In here we have a 1000W MH With a Squirrl Exhaust Fan attached to it. The Fan vents out through the celing and helps to keep the bulb cool.....Also Currently in the Flowering room we are runing a Lasko High Pressure Blowering that oscelates.....it keeps the plants growing strong!

The Plan With this side..is to run a Ebb & Flow System for flowering.....Just got done with the last soil grow and everything has now been cleaned out ans is getting ready for the building of the system.....

So today...was a day off from slingin food....little bit of a project day.

I finally broke down and decided to get a can filter for the smell. Since im venting outside i needed to do somthing.....

This posed an interesting question....how do you take a exhaust blower and make it work with a can filter.

Well i got EVER so lucky....the dayton blower that I have just happens to have a peice to turn it into an inline fan....this way i can then hook it up to the can filter....


They Also make a nice mounting bracket for this as well......mounting the fan to the celing and using some of the half inch gramets for the buckets as the smei rubber feet....

Now from here We have a intake line comming to the fan and then an outake line running from the fan to the hood and then out to the outside. From here we just hook the intake hose up to the can filter and BOOM! Clean air =)



As you can see...I wentahead and mounted the can filter up near the celing (hot air rises right?) using bungie cords and some archors/eye hooks....

ISNT IT PRETTY!

I my self am Happy once again with the way these projects are turning out.

Also...Heres a little snippet of the girls..One of them is already in week 4.....shes got roots comming OUT of the bottem of her bucket already =)

Well...Its time for an update.

So i havnt done much as of late...got some seeds rollin...trying to figure out the best method to sprout in these round groden's w/ the slice on the side.....some of the seeds kinda dint wanna go anywhere in it..kinda odd....

At the same time ive got a few that are taking root and its time to add them to the buckets....now what the plan was..is to keep a 9 bucket setup.....currently there are 5 down and there needs to be the addition....

I already added one of the clones to the last of the empty buckets.....and i was wanting to place a few more down...but here comes the issue......space...

One of the ladies is already so big that shes snuffing out the other plants.



The offender looks great....i need a new cam..one that dosnt hate these high amounts of light.

So She got topped off. But shes still fucking huge...shes still trying to overgrow all of the other plants.



Looks awsome from the top....she got a bit of the bleaching but its to be expected.


So I added yet another bucket...






AND Got some seedlings going.....and the tops off the the insane grower.

Well, the higher power has decided that we will be usign DWC on both sides...instead of the ebb & flood....

The flood table i was looking at was 50$ for just the table...and it wouldnt have fit as well in the current setup anyways....so their are now 6 buckets on the other side of the room with a temp res.....decided not to pick up a float yet for money constraint issues....

So now with the over grown brat that keeps trying to snuff out the other plants we decided to put two of the 6 going into flowering and drope the veg light back down...

The ones in flowering suffered some serious bleeching...due to the fact that having to keep rasing the light..made a few start to strech...and we dont want that now do we?

So...heres a few pics of the new buckets and the plant placment...






and this one was an interesting angle...you can see the clone humid dome real well..kinda funky...

How effective was your new carbon scrubber?

Eliminates all of the odor going outside...this is probably the best way ive seen to killing the smell. Tho...a bigger filter is better w/ a smaller fan..surface area for the air to come in puts less stress on any fan attached.

We arnt actually using a can fan like we should be using...we have a cage fan w/ some peices you can buy from the company to make it somewhat of an inline fan...
