garage grow underway! Options

[SoSoFiZzY]

hey guys, how you doing? beautiful day today! havent posted in a while, been working on the tent...as you may or may not know heres how the setup should go:

dark tent dr240w (240x120x200),
2 flood and drain table kits 16 pot each,
600w hps cooltube + 400w MH diamond on each (2000w total) suspended with easi rolls,
4 way timer contactor/relay

2 8" ruck fans with 8" rhino filter on each
ecotechnics thermostat/humidity controller for exhaust
passive intakes through vents (neg pressure)

the garage was full of excess household belongings but having moved everything and made space..here it goes



shows proximity of tent to the gas meter!


shows proximity of tent to the electricity meter!


more to come...

[ratdog]

What about the guy who reads the meters?!!

[SoSoFiZzY]

the goodies pictured in full


goodies again, mainly the lighting all here


in the next shots im gonna need some advice!

[SoSoFiZzY]

here you can see the fan and filter...its massive, how do i suspend it close too the ceiling? will the tent pipelines support it? i have another one on the other side if you noticed from other pictures!


see those pipes? im gonna need two more atleast, anyone have any ideas where i can get anything similar? it came with the tent...


more help needed (easi rolls) in next shots...

[SoSoFiZzY]

Where can i buy a J hook or a C hook to hang these? i have 4 sets of easi rolls for the 4 lights


okay heres where i need major help!


this is part of the flood and drain table kit. As pictures, i have all the parts, except for the actual legs! I have the corner joints etc but the legs are missing for both tables. From the instruction book i have the dimensions of the legs but they need to be plastic/waterproof? where can i obtain new legs? i have emailed the vendor and no reply since last week!

any ideas?!

thanks for looking love you guys

What about the guy who reads the meters?!!

hey ratdog, ive got more plans up my sleeves for that. I'm going to cardboard out the tent once its complete and setup. Then i have 2 points of entry. Front and back. each point of entry represents each point for each guy/meter reader.

I have a meter at the front, only need to open one garage door and show him..those boxes up front are my empties and will be tidied up soon...
The meter on the back il take them through the house and out back so as they step in they turn right...il have that side covered regardless.. hope that helps!

nb. they will come once every 4-6 months for me from now..thanks to the members in the other topic i call my readings in..



il have all this covered! silent, ambient, non the wiser

hey guys, hope your enjoying the bank holiday weekend...

Im struggling for a table for my flood and drain kits! i have dimensions as supplied with the kit i needed but where do i go? bnq? homebase? i need exactly 10 pieces to build the frame. so 20 because im missing two tables. Any ideas?

I have the hooks for the easi rolls so thats in place...

I need to get something for the 8" cf's to sit on, tall enough to let it rest near the tent ceiling.
I thaught about suspending it off the ceiling itself but the tent wont support the weight..definately not for both

[SoSoFiZzY]

Everything is as it should be... so far anyway.

I was wondering what you guys thaught, should i keep a grow log or diary or not? I was thinking more of a summary with pics after veg, during flower, after flower, after cure...

What do you guys reckon? I am seriously lacking motivation these days. Will be getting my groove on in under a month!

Thanks!!

Sweet setup bro,...wish i had the room for that kinda kit.
what sorta grow ya doin,get the fucker scrogged up eh..

[SoSoFiZzY]

Hey dude, glad you like!

Going to partition the room down the middle (sealed/removable wall to be built ) and then this is whats up;

Going to start with 15 beans to the right, sex them get rid of the males, take cuttings of all 15 and reveg them to the left. Once the girls to the right finish flower il pick the best pheno from the lot to clone from my parent-clones. I'll then get rid of the excess parent-clones and grow out a full run (instead of half) of that selected pheno.

All 15 beans will be SD but I may be switching that to the following; (where available) 5 sd, 5 sd x blueberry, 5 super silver sour diesel haze.
In such case, instead of keeping one pheno, il keep three. 1 of each strain. This means 3 parent-clone mothers will be kept instead of one (out of 15). From the 3 chosen phenos il take 10 cuttings from each and grow that out on both tables...

...I don't know much at all about scrog set-ups but i would love the more frequent harvests.. however for now im gonna keep it sweet and simple ^^

Cheers!!

Well shit, that setup will work, nicely done sir.

In a space that size don't bother with a SCROG mate you should get plenty to smoke.

Best of luck to you

Hi soso

Thats some lighting set up

Im worried you wont be able to lower the lights with fan inline hanging in middle

also all those twists and turns in ducting will cause drag and noise

cool tibes were designed to have a seperate cool air supply running thru them

In the UK its common for us to extract thru them

So - you could have one fan extracting straight up and out

the other fan just cooling the 2 cool tubes -

[heyboy]

OK Just noticed

Your not supposed to extract and intake in same room

CO2 wil become depleted!

Just another thought - plants need to be 20c lights off - It will be near freezing in winter

make a hole in wall house side and draw fresh temperature stable air in from cavity ( assuming there is one)

filtered hot air can then go straight out into the garage ( stealthy )

cavity air is warm in winter and cool in summer - (less bugs and pests) and noise

SSSDH!!....WOW!!

good to see you got a sorted plan of attack anyway.

yeh quality strains bro too.....good luck and nice one mucker...bizzi.

Hey heyboy, thanks for the heads up... the cooltubes are connected with ducting to an rvk inline fan inbetween. It sucks air out from one light and pushes air through the other. There is only ducting in the middle to connect the fan to the cooltubes. I allowed more ducting on each side of the rvk to allow the cooltubes to be lowered and raised on the eazi-rolls there hung off. i learned from other peoples mistakes thanks for the tip thou!

I dont think the pic is clear enough but there is only one U bend on each side of the rvk fan that connects the ducting. I have tested the flow and the rvk pushes more than enough power to move that hot air away. Also the cooltube>rvk>cooltube is NOT connected to the cf or exhaust. Surprisingly the rvk is close to silent when running..

Can you please explain about the co2 depletion?
I have two 8" phat filters on 8" rhino fans. The fans are directly mounted onto the cf's. I then have (acoustic) ducting in a L bend shape for each one to shoot up and out the roof ports on the tent.
As before, the inline fan is independant to the exhaust ones.

The exhaust fans are rigged to my ecotechnics controller along with a floor standing fan heater.
The ecotechnics controllers got a humidity/temp sensor and adjusts the speed/heat of things to stay in tune (while also keeping my neg pressure active).

I didnt think co2 rich air would be much of a problem since i am running neg pressure? I will be buying an airstone for each table to allow oxygen rich air into the root-zones. Will that help?


Ill get better pics up for you guys soon, thanks for looking out peeps and for all the positive vibes! Cheers!
