whats up Roll it Up... so im here to show you what im working on and look for any suggestions, comments, or concerns that could help me cultivate top quality meds for the family. i started with 2 - 11'x10'x8'high rooms. i decided to cram 6 -1000watt lumatek ballasts with xxl cap hoods into my room. its a tight fit but i was hoping for better light distribution. i went with digital ballasts hoping for betterefficeny with power and longer life. i have 2 - 8" cap fans sucking an blowing air thru the hoods coming from outside and venting into my attic. for co2 i got a tankless propane water heater. $100. i plumbed a 55gallon drum to it with a decent water pump. the water pump is connected to a cap co2 controller. but i quickly found out that the cap co2 controller can only switch a 1/2amp of power which is pretty weak in my opinion any way so i had to build myself a little relay box which you can see in the photo. anyway that keeps my co2 levels where they need to be. i have a couple fans circulating the air while a 2 ton a/c that i installed myself and not sure if its properly "bled" with the freon or whatever. but im hoping it will get me thru this cycle. anyway... i have 14" pots on a slanted stand i made with a rain gutter at the end to collect run off. works ok. but need a better solution. i have a small charcoal filter to scrub the air. not sure how much they are needed but its there. at the time of these photos i am having electrical issues so i only have one 400w with a MH bulb working. but they are going to be flipped to 12 soon and i will have all the light i need. in the veg room im building you can see where i have a turbo cloner 24 set up above some clones i already have. and a space for some future mothers when i get to that. and on the other side of a makeshift wall i have what will be my veg room with the same slanted table to drain pots. i will have 2 - 400w lumatek systems in there. i currently am growing in pure canna coco using there complete line up at there recomended "heavy feeding" levels. i add calmag and great white to that and my ph has been around 5.8. but i have noticed if i let nute mix sit for a day it shoots up to 7. and i watered a few times like that. not sure if i should balance it back down? it takes a crazy amount of ph down when this occurs and maybe 200 ppm is lost in this process over night. im tryn to think of what other details i can give... the current strains are pre 98 kush, there som la cheese, trainwrek, chocolate thai, and some assorted seeds that i just sprouted from a friend who said they were "good" anyway i am going to try and post some pictures... for some reason this wont let me type properly so i appoligize for the sloppiness. thanks for any help or comments
