I hope and hope that I have most in order now and I am ready to start to flower on the 1 of March.
Room: Under the stairs leading to the basement. I only want to grow enough for me, myself and I so it could be about 2 zips a month. and I would like to have a bit in reserve.
I have the space cordened off in to 2 seperate spaces. Will be ordering some panda paper, until then I made a curtain with 6 ml black bags and mylar blanky's on both sides of the black bags. velcro is on the outer edge of one side.
I put a vent 16x8 and I will be putting in a bathroom fan for exaust. With a locking door.
Lights: 4 bathroom light bars 3ft. has 6 light socktes,put 6 Y's on each. Thats 12 lights.
For Flower light bar I have 10 42w cfl. light is 27K and 2700 luimens then I put 2 lights that are 26w cfl light is 6500K and 1600 lumens.
For the Veggie area the light bar has 12 26w cfl 6500K and 1600 lumens each.
I also have a 3ft florecient light with a cool white 30 bulb
2175 lumens and color of 4100K Is that OK???
The light hang from the ceiling and are all adj.
There is also going to be a small fan hanging and blowing across them.
I'm only using 2 of the light bars can expand to4
I think that covers my room and my lights. Any sugg. welcome.
Equiptment and Nutes: EC/PPM meter, PH meter and liq. test for back up. Fox Farm nutes (3) set for hydro. Numerous odds and ends og chem. list later if any one wants more comprehensive list.
What I have going::::: (2) Aerogardens I know, I know, My plan is to have one fore clones and one for seedlings. We will see my plans have changed many times and I am only seeing this as a great adventure.
I have also made 2 aquafarms. I bought enough to make 4 more.
1 farm I have 2 females ( bagseed Good shit) ready to be flowered
2 farm I have 4 same weed ready to sex
1 AG has 4 clones from one of the other females roots are looking sooo nice white thick reaching down to the nute solution now. It also has one mysterious seed I fouds grouing out of my bathroom sink It's the nicest looking one of the little ones.
2 AG has 7 WW seedilngs that are not doing well I may lose them all????? I did everything wrong that I had read about It's insane. Well I lost one seed on the floor, that leaves me with 2 WW I will plant both outside and I hope that one is a male for more seeds, but we will see.
Temp: 62F will go up when I start to flower.
Temp of all nute sol. ~60
PH 5.7-5.8 range
All plants look healthy exept for the WW
Peace

Mokie,

Are they getting good air? (fan running?)

Overall, they look good...and I can see you are driving them pretty hard on the nutes (for me...but I'm a "lightweight" on nutes...LOL!) but they are handling it OK, I think. Is the damage to the plants in the first 2 pics from a previous over-nute encounter?

The Aerogarden plants look good...which container numbers are they?

nice lovely lot of girls you got there

#6 (**permalink**) 03-07-2008, 02:29 PM

There is a fan running on each area. I leave the door open. Exept at night or company which is not too often.
I don't know what I'm doing with the nutes. Am I over doing it? I am using distilled water.
I'm SCARED!!!!
pic 1 = pot 1 there are 2 plants in this. both bag seed
Pic 2 = pot 2 there are 4 plants in this. same bag seed
pic 3 = AG 1 there are 7 plants in this. 2 outer corner ones are WW the big plant I found growing out of my bathroom sink and had to give it a chance. It's alot bigger and about 3 weeks younger than the WW. the other 4 are an experiment Clones and they are growing exelant. I know the ones in pot 1 are females and the 4 clones are from them.
pic 4 = AG 2 there are 4 WW and 3seedings about to sprout up.

how well those airogardens work. what size rez they got and how big of a pump plus amount of sprayers

#8 (**permalink**) 03-07-2008, 02:45 PM

This is my first. It's germinated 14 out of 15 seedlings. I think thats good. I want to use it for clones and seedlings then move it to the aqua buckets to flower. They only have a 1 gallion res. It has 7 spots for plants. There is a pump adj. on them I turned mine down to 1.5 after I got root rot. I believe it came @ 2.5.

sorry to hear about your troubles, i had to do the same thing about 6 months ago, i live with teens who have friends and it got too public, now, 6 months later, i'm completely under the radar. anyway, ISO is right, bring the hubby in and maybe the two of you can build a couple of grow cabs that look like dressers, a tall one to hold 2 or 3 mommas in DWC buckets along with a tray of clones and a shorter wider one for flowering in sort of a sea of green setup. that's my plan and i'm sticking to it. i want to hide my grow in plain sight.

peace, love, dope

4000k is clear blue light, and does little to nothing for the plant. Granted 4100k will have a blend of other portions of the light spectrum, so it def wouldnt hurt, but you could apply the cost of running those bulbs, to another bulb which would do more for your plant, like a daylight or warm white bulb.

for future reference, i think you need to have some red light in the vegging room, from what i've read the ratio should be about 3 watts blue to 1 watt red in the vegging room and the other way around for flowering. the plants need both red and blue light throughout the life cycle, just more blue than red in the vegging (summer) and more red than blue in flowering (fall). i should say that this comes from research more than experience
