Firstly. Sorry I'm from a country were we use metric. I have almost no idea how many CFM 1m³/h is or galleons and fluid ounces and so forth so you'll need to convert the values yourself.
***EDIT*** I went and converted all the values as i figured most of us would be to lazy to do it
any pointers from you guys are always appreciated, rather someone said something ands possibly upsets me then just sitting back silently not wanting to critisize. worst case is ill ignore your advice and and suffer the conseuences
sooooo........
Strain: 4x critical+ 2.0 & 2x cheese both hybrid Indica Dom both from seed (have next round started all blue widow will make a journal for them aswell once I harvest.
Stage: flower. 7-10 days or so. dont really pay attention to the flick as i just watchthe trichs. Veg time was about 6-8 weeks
Room size: 2.4m x 2.4m x 1.8m for 5.76m² (8' x 8' x 5' 9" 64 ft² - or 370cubic feet roughly) - height restrictions made me have to cut tent down to fit into the space.
Nuts: general hydro Flora trio (hard water micro) + their silicate powder (I'm not a fan of GHE but my go to nutrients aren't available here as they're from Australia) and Canna ph pro bloom the 59% phosphoric acid.
Nute strength: well varies. I started at 1.0EC when young and worked up to bout 1.8 by end of veg. Currently my bluelab truncheon is jumping around 1.6-1.8 EC or 900-1100 PPM
Water: so my starting water is shit. 300-400 PPM at Ph 7.0 (H4 on water hardness scale)
Water schedule: as needed. but usually around lights on untill enough run off occurs, if any ones needd extra i just do it by hand between
Reservoir: 225L or 60 galleon. Ph 6.0 (atleast still it starts to change as we all know it does) with 9L/min through 4 air stones to break surface tension. With average temp of 18c hardwater 300ppm starting value.no filteration.but H2O2
Substrate: 100% coco as was gonna hand water and difficultly due to my insane work schedule made me worried they would dry while I was away
Air movement: have the aircon venting up to approx 250m³/h (425CFM) and about 220m³/h (375 CFM) active intake.
Temp control: dehumidifying aircon @ 12,000BTUs asunable to vent much air (basement) so can't do normal exhaust method as the hot air would end up just being circulated.(i have one spot but only so much air i can force out that spot) but have 220m³/h (375CFM) going into the room with 2 small fans under my canopy and an oscillating fan above the air intake vent
Light schedule: veg 16/8 bloom 12/12
Lights: 4x 315W CMH but I want a 600w HPS in the middle for flower or just a fifth CMH (vertical nanolux fixtures and ballasts) with Phillips 3k globes this was start to finish although at first only had them under 1 light. lights are about 18-24" away.
Ave temp: day 25c (77 f) night 20c (68 f)
Av humidity: 40-50 depends as my aircon switches to dehumidifier mode when the set temp is reached.
Pests: rats they chewed into the tent and literally killed all 5 the day I flicked to flower. 50kg (110lb) of quick dry cement and then I THINK I have the problem under control but constant vigilance is required.
Grow style: drain to waste. topped at 5th node and scrog'd. some super cropping used toward end of veg on all the main branches to let side arms grow a bit. I basically only let branches coming off the Trunk to develop side Arms the biggest mistake i madew was only using the net and not actually tying the arms down at all
Few things
My space has high humidity to begin with, were talking 80% and a ambient temp of up to 27+c on a bad day. Also very limited options for fresh air or exhaust, am looking into running some co2 nxt time
I had a few issues which I caused such as didn't Ph correctly once and they had signs of potasium/magnesium deficiency, this also caused alot of leaf death and slowed veeg down alot. also one of them got a bit to dry started to look really sad. Also a bit of defoliation at incorrect times and quite a few things I'll do differently as far as LST goes but i think i just cost myself time and yield, probbably couldve acheived the same veg in less time but this is after all the first time im running a setup i designed and implimented entirely myself.
theres more photos in my media gallery of them but Ill take some newer ones those are a few days old now. but its late and I just got home from work

Makes me sad oh we'll see how it turned out soon enough will add pics tmw
