So now, onto the ladies.....I officially started on November 5th with the first plant that came from a buddy. He was over by a few plants because of me asking to have a couple ready when I was done with the one room. He stopped and gave me this....
It is a critical jack. Not sure how old she is but didn't really care. Thinking it may be 3 to 4 weeks old maybe more? It's funny because he wants me to axe it to make more room for the others that are in there now. Because it is my first REAL grow I said no way. For learning experience I'm going to keep her around just in case something goes wrong. Safety in numbers ya know!

cyberaktif , holy shit man, you don't play!! this is gonna be awesome. hey, don't know if this will be of any use to you bc you appear to have everything planned out to a T, but i'm not as fortunate as you to have a gotdang POLE BARN (sorry, that's the jealousy talking, LOL) i just have to use a little 4x6x8 closet. and in not a friendly state. but when you said 'a room within a room' i have been doing various versions of that using Reflectix. that stuff is the bomb, and my new favorite thing. it's substantial enough to stay up on it's own but light enough to be completely foldupable, and fast, if need be. i've been using it in all kinds of 'room w/in a room' ways. like a made a tiny germination "room" out of it that i could simply lift on and off my germination station....convenient and easy. and no i don't work for Reflectix lol!! just love their product.... happy growing!!

Now to the specs of the equipment....In the bloom room I'm running 2 1000w magnum XXXL 8" air cooled hoods powered by galaxy legacy dim-able ballasts now running on 240v. At the time of these pictures they were running on 110v. These hoods are being cooled with an 8" inline fan blowing through the hoods and out into the barn for now (winter time ya know). I have a blueprint 4 light control box with a separate timer running now. I'm still working on the exhaust for the bloom room but for now the way I'm setup it works. For heat I'm using an oil filled radiator heater hooked up to a day/night temp controller for the lights out time set at about 70 or so. When the temps are really cold i use the heat from the lights by unhooking at the wall and pump it into the room.
For the veg room I now have an agrobrite t-5 8 bulb 4' light for the middle of the veg cycle. For the beginning I'm using 2 small t-5 lights over the dome with a heat mat under it just in case I need it. For the last part of the veg cycle going to use a 400w or 600w mh so the 1000w isn't such a shock to them. We'll see if it stays that way as I get a few grows under my belt. Still working on ventilation for the veg room as well. The plan is to run 4-6 plants in bloom and 6-8 in the veg and space them out to harvest 2 plants every 2 months but that may not happen we will see.Last edited by cyberaktif; 01-22-2017, 12:08 PM.

with 12 ft ceilings I don't think a little stretch is gonna be an issue, lol.

while things are going in the bloom room I started working more in the veg room....
This is still a work in process....under the clone dome there in the enclosure is an 8" duct feeding just the bloom room for the fresh air, well actually there is a tee and could feed both rooms but can't during lights out in bloom room as there would be light coming through into the bloom room...that was a duh momentLast edited by cyberaktif; 01-22-2017, 11:40 AM.

I wish I was, but no. after a few rounds under my belt might get me closer to be able to do that. Also if I was running HVAC all the rooms need to be sealed for more efficient operation.Last edited by cyberaktif; 01-22-2017, 11:57 AM.

I know some people are thinking " why is he using an hps for veg" well it's what i had and now that i'm further into the grow I wish i would have used a mh for the veg to get the tighter nodes. But it is what is is and that's that as I say.
