Buds 600W Perpetual Grow

[bud7144]

I thought it was time to start a new thread since my setup has changed so greatly since iv'e started growing indoors. This new setup is a fully insulated and structurally coded room built inside my garage. It's 11x8 and have the room portioned off into a 5x8 flower room and a 6x8 room for my 4x4 veg tent and room to work. My strains vary and im always bringing in new ones, the current lineup in flower includes: Pineapple Chunk(barneys), NLxBB(world of seeds) and 3 Qrazytrain, QTA QTB and QTC. I got 3 females from a pack of 5 so Im stoked to see what phenos i get. The veg tent has a lot going on right now. I have a bunch of cuts vegging for my bro and some Fruit Daddy moms. The ladies I have going include my Sweet Kandy(kandy KushXSkunk1), Grape Ape, cuts from the Pineapple Chunk, NLxBB and Qrazytrain. I have KC36 and a few auto seeds germing to put outside this year. Ill get to all the detailed info a bit later, but heres some pics of the room coming together and some other pics that pertain to my grow.
*Thought I had more but they are not uploaded. Ill take pics of the plants when the lights come on and more of how the room looks now.

Ok, so I grow in cocogrow botanicare coco coir. I mix 4:1 with perlite and dolomite lime to balance ph. Nutes are GH trio with diamond nectar, flora nectar, kool bloom liq and Gravity for hardening. I have a XXXL magnum hood with a hortilux eye bulb and e-ballast. The light is on a 240v breaker with the hardwired timer, and the other line are 110v. Next purchase is going to be an AC, dehumidifier and heater and a rez with drip feed tubing.

 

[bud7144]

Alright, so picked up a DeLonghi 10k BTU AC and dehumidifier and temps are under control. Now I have to pot a bunch more clones and duct the AC exhaust outside the room. Right now its ducted out the door so not utilizing electricity and temps properly till thats all plumbed right.

nice setup man. love the pics. you done very nice + rep to ya

 

[bud7144]

Got the AC all vented out properly and cut some passive air ways through the B/W paper wall. The pic of it didnt come out so ill try again later. The first pic shows one of the vents.

Hey bro nice setup,im wanting to seal my room and use an ac and co2 but was worriednd about ac heat vent stinking cant put carbon filter on i would think ac doesnot have enough fan power to push thru and will probably over heat , whats ur thoughts on this matter thanks

I think your feelings are right. When i fully shut my door I can hear an increase in sound from the ac, like its working harder already. Adding a scrubber to the mix just wont work. Id recommend getting an inline fan with a CFM that matches the volumn of the room. And attach that to a carbon scrubber, thats what im going to be doing. Sooner than later because im only into week 2 and the ladies are smelling already.

Havent been on here in a while, trying to decide whether or not wanted to keep posting on the site. But I gave in, missed you RIU Folk. Heres some iPhone pics from a couple days ago. Ill take some non-HPS pics tonight to show the real quality of the plants. All the ladies are doing great except for the Pineapple Chunk, looks like I got the pheno everyone else does, a lanky long flower sativa type. At day 31, the PC looked more like day 15, the only saving grace for her at the moment is the smell. Smells almost like Country Time Lemonade powder before its mixed with water. So sweet. Enjoy!

looking good man. Just installed my 600w air cooled last night.. loving it

 

[bud7144]

Ill try getting good pics tonight, I went in last night and was just a sec too late as the lights were on already. They are looking really good though, over fed them last night and had water pouring all over the floor. Atleast they had a good flush. Ill be adding their last batch of food nutes before the flush, ill run another feed of Gravity and my GH line. Im hoping to have some fat nugs at the end.

 

[bud7144]

Here's the pictures of the plants without the HPS light, so the plants actually look good. The ladies are doing great and getting big n frosty, can't wait for them to finish up and some new plants cycle in. Here they are, enjoy! My Pineapple Chunk smells so good!

I went and snapped a few pics of some of the tops in the room. Qrazytrain C is showing purpling on the main cola, so cant wait to see how she changes the next few weeks. The other 2 QT are A and B and I believe QT A is starting to change but with lighter green leaves. Enjoy!!

Pineapple Chunk: Finally Filling in, and still smelling amazing!

hey bud you have 4 plants under a 600? how close do you have the hood to the canopy? looking great btw. plants look awesome

 

[bud7144]

I like to keep my hood about 4-6inches from the canopy as long as no excessive yellowing or bleaching occurs. I have one that's been a bit too close and has mild bleaching in places, but if you put your hand where the tops are and the heat is warm but not too bad then that's your hood should be.
P.S. I actually have 5 under the light, with plans to increase that as well soon as the new ladies are ready for flower. Im at a place where I have too many plants ready to flower at the same time. So Ill be running bigger plants till I can catch up.

 

[SOMEBEECH]

You say perp? How many you going for im doing 6 and its alot of work keeping everything going and ready. Gonna drop down to 5 and just veg longer i like big plants.

 

[bud7144]

Yup, continual harvesting is how I was doing it in my tent before I moved into this room. I plan to add at least 4 more plants before I pull the ones going now. I like plants on the bigger end too, I just need to figure out better lst methods to really maximize yield.
