Diablo OG In Dual Monster Plant System

lord whats the hottest your room gets?
Since I have such a big light in a such a tiny space (the guys at the hydro shop think I'm a lunatic), I need massive, and I mean MASSIVE air movement. I have a computer fan attached as the intake side of my light hood. The exhaust is running out the four inch ducting to the main exhaust fan which blows out of a large carbon filter mounted on the back of the unit. In addition (here's the lunatic part) I have a compact ac running behind the plants that you can't really see. It's mounted on steel brackets I installed as bracing shelf for the ac unit itself. Once I got it in just right (my engineer buddy and I spent hours and he injured his thumb), I sealed it with a thick weather stripping foam tape. All this to maintain a 75f median temperature in the mid canopy area. High canopy more like 80f median.

When the weather is mild and cool like it is right now, the compressor of the ac doesn't even kick in and the fan alone keeps it at median 75f. My ambient room temperature outside the box is quite cool right now, and that's helping the whole system run a little easier and consume a little less power. That's why I consider this beast of a cabinet a 'growing engine.' When everything is running during light period, it vibrates pretty hard like a huge suction engine. That's why my grows go abnormally fast.

edit:
I realize not everyone has an engineer best friend to help him out with home projects, so I consider myself really lucky. Hey, I'm pretty good with my hands, but from functional theory to major assistance in execution of my design, I'm not afraid to admit that he helped A LOT. I can provide design specs for something that would be exactly like this (better since I learned how I made design mistakes). Of course I don't expect you to gut a steel cabinet like we did, but it can easily be made with plywood on a sturdy wood frame as a materials substitute and the functionality would be pretty much the same. Also, since I got it into my head to make this, I've seen the advent of grow tents. These tents also have gotten better over the years, and I'm thinking about getting one as a momma shack for perp harvest.

biggggggg reeeepppppppppp lad them plants are sweet as a mother fuckkkaaa

Hey! Snickerdoodle! I burned my leaves too! :twisted:



I think I'm getting high just looking at these monster girls. The label on the pot says that the nugs bulk up late and that patient growers will be rewarded. I haven't been doing much waiting around, and I'm impatient as all get out, and they still seem to be bulking fast and early, not late.

hey jin, i just got myself a 5 x 5 secret jardin for my veg room. just got my perpetual harvest going 1 rack every 3 weeks. if you got the space i wouldnt go with the 4 x 4 only because that additional 9 sq ft really gives you that "extra" move around area. i got my for $270 brand new and its freakin sweet!

Thanks. I know what you're saying. Move around space is def something I have my eye on.

Thank you, sweetie. Don't even sweat it. You'll get your pix up when you can. The REAL world is more important after all. Lol.

Hey, I'm not even a stoner and I can't keep up with your daily updates! LOL! Love your journal and your advice, jin. Great stuff that you added in the past few days. Keep it comin'. I just added a few days' worth in my journal last night.

The lower colas are still giving off a very lemony smell, but the upper towers right under the light are starting to give off that characteristic OG 'fuel' smell.

I've been tying and pruning tonight. When I came back in here to type this, the smell from my hand made my room smell like a dispensary.

Nice. Even if this isn't my biggest yield, I'm pretty certain the quality of this bud is going to outshine any of the OGs I've grown prior.

I can hardly wait to smoke this shit.....Erg..
