i have a diary in the grow diary section.
but being i'm going vert, figured i'd toss it in the vert section!
i'm pressed for room here, so it's not a huge show, shit, it's not even a big show!
1k and 11 plants SOG style
let me explain.....
my entire closet is 70"L x 26"W x 96"H
i've grown all sorts of ways, but wanted to give vert 1 shot b4 i close up shop at this locale.
i will post up the build here, for constructive critisism for the experienced. i'll even put up w/ trolls and flames if it helps me learn
on with the pics and descrips........
this is what the closet looked like prior (random pix)
2 2'x2' tables
1 400w CMH over each table
im flowering in 8" square pots, so here's my 20 gallon Lowe's™ tote res complete w/ Blumat thru hull's
the gutted room w/ cleats banged in for platforms
2x10 as the opposite platform wall, secured to 2 sides
with some passive intakes from the last run chillin in the back
other side supports done
res platform built real sturdy, 20 G of H2o might way a couple lbs!
elevated for the Blumat use. cond pump for the 9k split (re)installed
Home Depot™ hack job drain installed.
i kno i kno electrical pvc parts and plumbing pvc pipe! DOH, dont leak tho.
a lil hint, i like to use the boiler drain valves, they thread right into a 3/4" pvc female adaptor. easy as pie
some wiring work!
timer is my contactor trigger. cont coil is 120v, 1k is wired 240v
knobby aka speed control is for my carbon scrubber fan along with a split tab receptacle. top is 120v hot all the time (cond pump) bottom is controlled off the speed control
can fan under the res platform, quad outlets for fans/ nutri dip meter.
8mm tubing for Blumats
fill and drain hoses chillin.
room shot so u can get a sense of whats going on
1k ballast core kit <$80 much cheaper than your hydro shop ballasts
dont knock my open air wiring, its wired correctly and grounded correctly, just looks like shit. i wouldnt recommend anybody but ME to do this!!!!!
close(r)up of the 1k and pots
i have plumbed out the 6 plants i put in tonight, but far too bright to snap a pic today, will do tomorrow for ya's.
?'s, inputs, critiques all welcome
