hey people well heres the beginning to my new grow diary i got fed up with my old grow boxes and decided to step up a gear and sort my shit out
so firstly i brought a 600hps with a supadupa supanova reflector and a 6 inch extractor and a few pc fans then i brought loads of boards from b&q and boarded my shed out to give me a 4.75ftx4.75ftx7ft high(pitched roof) grow space.
then i covered it in the white plastic sheeting and put my extractors in and 2 small intake fans and 1 large oscilating fan and then put in my mother plant
then my clone room is about 1metrex1metrex5ft high with a 125w vegging envirolite in there with my 10 powerplant cuttings here are step by step pics people
enjoy
ps sorry bout the pics they are all phone pics so hard to get a good one of my flowering room

just an observation m8 I notice you put hardboard up in your shed with no kind of damproofing,i would of thought if it gets wet/damp it will swell increase in weight and will fall down especially at this time of year

Hi Mate,
Its looking great mate
I did the same at the last house with a 8 x 4 new shed.Im sure you siliconed around everywhere and not just the boards.
I partioned only half of the shed though .. as i wanted space for pots and soil and all that and a small bench.
I didnt have any fans at all and certainly no filter... you can always grow Mint and other herbs around the shed entrance...they grow quick too and immediately effective.
Nice Home for the Powerplant family.

thanks for your comments suzukibadboy much appreciated

another new pic i still dunno how to get rid of all the lines though
cant wait to get my 9 power plant cuttings in though they got a month left in veg still

Oct 14 2006, 03:28 PM
think the lines have got something to do with the electro magnetic field coming from your hps ?
try taking a pic before the light goes on.

Hey scarface how ya doin' man. I came over to visit my neighbor here, and see your garden. Your plants and clones look very, very good. And I think you're doing good with the shed, too. A nice home for the plants. I just got a packet of Power Plant seeds. You like them too. Did you see burnage's? Anyway I just wanted to say hello and see your room. Thanx. &Good Luck.

try taking a pic before the light goes on.
the lines are the 50Hz flashing of the HPS, not em field. some cameras have an indoor lighting mode that stops this effect - worth checking for. they just sync the sampling of the CCD with the flashing so you get even lighting across the frame
Looks good mister shady - and done pretty sharp

you'll be upgrading that lighting in no time

Nice shed. Are you goin to use the enviros for extra heat and lumens? You could get some budpacked plants in there if you mixed spectrums and lit from sides mayb. The mint is a cool idea. I got a mint cutting.

Nov 10 2006, 10:24 AM
yeah i might wack them in there when/if it gets to cold in there but so far ive been able to keep my temps at 25/26 in the day and 19/19 at night as i have alot of temperature control in there so im ok for now i think, anyway thanks for your input mate
