I am sure I have a lot to learn about my new hobby of growing. So i figured the the best way to learn was to show my process and get critiqued by those that know. I have spent some time reading all over these forums and sorry I have hijacked a bit……. but only to learn and fix problems i have had.
So here is my project. I am a bit limited with space in the flowering room 12/12 it is 3’x5’ with a rack looks similar to bleacher type tray set up length wise. I have two rooms divide out inside of a closet. The first room that the racks are in is the 12/12 600w HPS. The 2nd is the veg room where the Moms and all the babies get their roots. I have 2 fans on the top of the door way which are recycled computer 12v fans. The one on the left feeds fresh air into the flowering room the one on the left has dryer hose connected on the backside of the fan. This dryer hose runs to he back room where the babies are my veg room. The fan sucks the hot air from the top of my veg room removing it out through the flowering room inside the dryer hose not impacting the temp in the flowering room. I built an air intake box that sits on top of the veg section (it looks rough but it works). I made the veg room (18/6) with 2 grow florescence (Sun Blaster) that are directly on top of 2 of the hanging shelves. Also 3 duel florescent ballast hanging in 3 corners of the room pointing to the center. Which seems to do well. I needed to light proof to the veg room from the flowering room and I needed to get fresh air into the back without letting light out. So I built the air intake box that has another computer fan on the top blowing fresh air in through light proof dryer hose enclosed in a box that has a dryer hose that runs through it and into the opposite top coroner of the veg room. Where an interior fan then circulates cool fresh air through the veg room. The back room is built from plastic covered wire shelves cut into about 4 x 2 sections hanging at the 4 corners by 4-drop chains in each corner. I have 5 shelves hanging. The bottom is currently holding my moms. They will be getting their own home here if a few days.
So the strain I am growing is a mystery to me. A friend donated it to me when I began. I am using FFLW soil with the FF liquid nutes with Kool Bloom for flowering. I have already gone through some “growing pains” during the process but until I found this site I have pretty much been solo.
I have already finished 1 cycle that gave me 7 plants and the 2nd set are currently in the 5 week of flowering and the 3rd set are in the 1st. I plan to cut more in about 4 days to start my 4th. I will try and get you all caught up through the picks. Please also keep in mind that I am very “green” and I have had my ups and downs in the learning process with over feeding but I am hoping that I can get it right with the 3rd set. I am sure you will be able to pick it out. I do welcome any feedback to help me improve.
Main entrance.
1st room “flowering room”
2nd room “veg room”
1st set hanging.
A 2nd set bud about a week and a half ago
One of the first set
A bit closer
I tried to use Emerald triangle Gravity. As you can all see i failed in that. If any one have info or advise on how to not get this result with it PLEASE let me know. That shit is not cheap and i have heard good things on it but nothing good for me. The buds are hanging now and we will see how they smoke.
Some of the first set and 2nd set about a week and a half ago

Thanks for reading and I will keep updates coming. I can't stress enough that I am new at this.
