Nice for you to join me for this posting. I have noticed that 420magazine seems to have quite a few techies on board and I would like to say Hi. I do work in Open Source/Linux/IT/Datacenter/Network/Enterprise areas and throughly enjoy it!
Now to the setup
What strain is it? 1 x Blue Mystic Fem Auto-flower, 2 x Jock Horror Fem Auto-flower, 2 x Bag Seed
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? Indica, Sativa Dominant, Unknown
Is it in Veg or Flower stage? Veg
If in Veg... For how long? 3 weeks
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor, 4'x4'x6.3' Grown Tent
Soil or Hydro? Hydro
27 gallon reservoir w/ 12gal of Water
What size pot? 3in net pots
Size of light? Veg-400watt MH / Flower-600watt HPS
Is it aircooled? Yes , 4in ducting w/ Elicent 4in inline exhaust
Temp of Room/cab? 82F
RH of Room/cab? 50%
PH of media or res? 6.1
Any Pests ? Nope
How often are you watering? every two days
Type and strength of ferts used? General Hydroponics Maxigrow/Maxibloom @ 800ppm
First up is the general layout of the Grow.
Next up is how I keep the house from burning to the ground. I consider this an important part and it allows me to sleep soundly at night. The back board wont be moving unless you remove the 5in lag bolts.
Air cooling for the HID lamp
This is a 4in inline Elicent 152cfm fan. Works wonderfully to cool the 400watt MH and keep the air refreshed in the tent. I plan to add a Phat Carbon Filter 4"x12" and is rated at 200cfm.
Time for the bubbles - 35watt Ecoplus 3 Air pump
I run this air pump on a separate timer that does 15min on / 15min off. This helps to cut back on waste heat in both the tank and the general room.
And the bubbles it makes
I also use another air pump that runs 24/7 that I call the Life Pump.
Hood that I chose & hangers that are mounted directly to the floor joists. Again Safety FIRST! The Xtrasun hood also has the glass inserted.
I insulated this tank shortly after I started using it. Without the insulation, water temps were reaching 87F in the tank. Once I insulated the lid and box my temps dropped to 76F. Once I had a 2Liter of ICE, it will maintain 68-70F for quite a few hours before creeping back up. I am debating on building a chiller from a small mini-fridge and some copper tubing coiled up.
I will get some pictures of the plants growth shortly.
