The bare room:
Today, the new veg room started operations! I plan on keeping a perpetual journal going that will just concentrate on operations in this room, including germination, cloning and early veg. For bigger plants in late veg, the other alcove will also be employed to handle the overflow. At the moment we have 15 plants (legal limit is 18) and the room is in its first design. It can already be seen that this veg room normally would not be able to handle this many plants, but that we will be able to get away with it this time because we have an empty oversized bloom room that will be able to handle overflow.
Upon learning that even Gorilla tape will not stick to the paint in this room we managed to put a temporary blackout covering over the window so that the neighbors to the north can not get a good look at the 6x COB DIY light that has been installed. The space is perfect for full coverage of the light and it has been hung slightly off center in the space. Metering and controls will need to be moved to the short end of the light at the edge of the alcove so we can see them, but for now we will make it work as originally designed. The same thing goes for a veg grow table of some sort... it is not going to work trying to grow plants on the floor. I want some sort of slide or roller system so that I can move the work table out of the alcove for easy access and cleaning and to provide some sort of catch basin for water spills. We will work on these improvements as time goes on. Airflow is good up there, but it needs to be better engineered for good smell control. An output fan will be installed in the window in this alcove and set to provide negative air pressure in that area.
So far we have one plant up, our Dinafem Cheese, and I am expecting to see several more rise up very soon.
