Ok, I'm finally on it. Here's my latest grow I just started with my home built Aero/NFT Hydro system. This unit has been great, But I did a bit of an overhaul on it, and now it's an amazing unit that is compact, can produce killer results. This is my first full run with this re-vised edition. lol.. anyway, here's my setup.
I made a makeshift Tent in an upstairs bedroom that's 5'X5'
Lighting is VIA a Lumatek digital dimmable ballast in 600w, 120v
I have a 600w lumatek High parbulb for flowering, and a 400w MH for Veg.
Intake & Exhaust will go into attic, and come in from a fresh air vent, then pass through a filter b4 entering grow chamber. Exhaust will pass through a carbon scrubber into attic. My unit is a 10 site Aero/NFT based off stinkbuddies original design. I plan a nice step by step tutorial on it with all my revisions, but basic design is from stinkbud. Anyway, Here is some pics. The first one is from the day I put the clones in the unit, and started veg. The rest are from today, 1.5 weeks into veg, they went from 1.5inches, to 6.5 inches.. and look good to me. lets here some thoughts..
Day 1.. 1 & 1/2 inches tall
These next few are all from Day 10 of veg, 6.5" tall

So, how they looking so far, I have the light as close as I think it can be without starting to burn them. lol.. It gets about 86 during lights on, and stays above 74 with lights off. Humidity is currently at about 41%, I have a nice big humidifier in the tent, but it just got in yesterday. I need to look up the ideal RH for veg and flower. If anyone knows, I would be greatful for the input. anyhoo, thnx for looking..
Datrippp
