Hello 420Mag, long time lurker here on the forums. This is my first post here, so I thought I would contribute with my setup, and ride along for my first grow already in progress. I have done a ton of research and spent many hours reading journals and guides here and on other forums, and have been inspired by quite a few surreal micro grows. I am unsure of the rules here, so I will not mention them here, just a shout out of respect, you guys (and girls) inspired me to do this...
The plan:
The basic plan is to have many different strains running, to keep things changing, so immediately I ruled out a SCROG, which led me to want to try out a SOG instead. Because I wanted the ability to keep mothers, I needed at least two cabs, but 3 would allow me to harvest every two or three weeks if I planned everything correctly, eventually I want to get that down to once a week. I opted to try out Hempy Buckets in 16 oz Solo Cups, packing as many as I possibly can in a very small footprint. Which leads me to the cabs they will spend their short lives in... Dressers have been gutted and built all by myself in about 8 hours total.
The Build:
Veg Cab:
Dimensions: 28" x 32" x 48"
Lighting: 2 90W UFO's with 1W Cree Diodes, custom built
Ventilation: 5 140mm Noctura PC fans, temperature controlled PC controller, powered by a spare jump started PSU
LED Flower Cab:
Dimensions: 56" x 16" x 32"
Lighting: 6 90W UFO's totally 540W! 1W Cree Diodes, custom built
Ventilation: Cooled by a 4" duct, further explained in ventilation cab
HPS Flower Cab:
Dimensions: 32" x 16" x 69"
Lighting: 400W HPS with Cooltube
Ventilation: Cooled by a 6" duct, further explained in ventilation cab
Ventilation Cab:
This was a bit tricky to build, and is incorporated into my HPS cab, it includes a 8" Vortex S Inline Fan, 8" Phresh Inline Filter, various reducers and Y's to somehow just barely make it all fit. I ran flex ducting into both my HPS and LED cabs, both are a comfortable 1-2 degrees above ambient while lights are on.
The Grow:
Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Grow A & B, Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Sensi Bloom A & B, Voodoo Juice, B-52, Big Bud, Overdrive, CalMag, Food Grade H2O2, and some pH Down/Up
Mediums: All grown in 16 oz Solo Cups their whole lives, my first batch are in a perlite/ vermiculite mix, my second run have all been 100% coco.
Genetics: BC Hashplant, Super Lemon Haze, Red Poison Auto, Mephisto Genetics Elite Auto Mix, Big Banger, Jack Herer, Sour Crack Mephisto, PeakSeedBC Genetics (Kush Berry, Kush Northern Lights, Kush Skunk, Sweet Skunk, Blueberry, Northern Berry, Northern Lights) and random Bag Seed
Some pictured below...
Veg Cab
Currently inside the Veg Cab is my Red Poison Auto, Sour Crack Auto, Jack Herer, Big Banger, BC Hashplant mother and some of her clones. I also just started up some Blueberry, Northern Berry, Northern Lights, and Sweet Skunk
LED Flower Cab
Currently inside are my Super Lemon Haze, Kush Berry, Kush Northern Lights, and 3 of my best looking Hashplant clones. I will be moving some of the babies in the Veg Cab into this one soon, and will be taking clones of all of these once they stretch a bit more. Day 1 for everyone in this cab.
HPS Flower Cab
Currently running a ton of Hashplant and a single Bag Seed that turned out to be female, I will be cloning her tomorrow. These are 8 or 9 days into flower, I'm stoned and can't remember. I have 10 plant total in here so far, have room for maybe 5 or 6 more if I feel like playing tetris
Will take individual pictures of everyone tomorrow, but thought I'd share my grow thus far.
