Ok here we go. I converted 1/2 of a single carg garage to a grow room(complete build out). The room is 8.5 ft tall and seperated into 3 sections.
The veg room is 5 ft x 4.5 ft x 8.5 ft. Flower room is 10 ft x 5 ft x 8.5
The lights are clones T5 , Veg room 1000w MH and flower room has 2 1000w HPS.
I have a 450 cfm inline blower with a 24 inx 6 in can filter. Air intake is from a 6in duct with inline fan. In the Veg room I have a honeywell air filtration unit wich cleans and recircs the air.
I am using the 5gal homer buckets with Hydroton air fed water with drip rings.
So, on monday I picked up 3 clones from a friend. After getting them nestled into their new homes and giving 1/2 strength nutes , I noticed they didn't look so hot. After further review I find that there were about 2 spider mites on each plant with a few eggs. I went and got Take Down to treat with Neem oil and pesticde soap for a back up. I also have samples of SNS 217 on order. The next day there was a little new growth.
I noticed there was a little yellowing of the leaves so I checked the ph and it was around 7.5, tried vinager and it dropped the ph to around 6. Problem was it left residue on the pots and hydroton. Went back to hydro store and picked up PH lower. I drained the buckets , rinsed/flushed well all and refilled. Checked the ph and it was about 7.0. Adjusted that down and it is setting about 5.8 and holding.
Today, 11-11-11, checked in on the ladies before work. All are showing new growth, new leaves and looking better. I will wait until sun or mon to add more nutes. Biggest problem I see is humidity is too low. I even put humidifier in and it went from 20 to 30% but now more. Looking into other ideas for humidity.
As soon as I figure out the pic posting I will post pics.
Oh ya when they go to flower I have 4 led lights (the cheap ones from ebay) I will use those for fill in lighting. and another oh ya--- I am getting 4 more clones this weekend from another friend. These are guearanteed healthy.
Sit back spark one up and enjoy. It will be a bumpy ride but will be ok with all the info on here!
for scrambled thoughts... I will pull it together more on future posts.
