Hello again.
One day late, but here I am.
My plants are doing good and my grow room works just fine. After the first grow is finished I will paint it inside and build a better solution for the entrance.
I had some wrong numbers in the grow room, but here are the final result: Two grow areas - each of 1 square meter with 3X T8 with two 36W tubes each. This gives me 19.800 lumen for each grow area (3300 lumen in each tube) Between the two grow areas it is a passage for me to have the fans and work on the flowers from. I will grow three plants under each light, giving me a capacity of 18 plants. Since I will only grow for myself and my closest ones, this gives room for experimenting and make me able to be selective (I want to learn how to do this right and make great tasting, potent buds)
My grow room are 1,60m tall. This gives free space for plants up to 1,20m. I will build a drying room on top with the same air in/out and homemade carbon filter solution. This because I want to grow several types in one grow and therefor will harvest multiple times during a grow.
If my homemade carbon filter keeps working as awesome as it does now trough this grow (all the smell is gone for now) I will put up a DIY about that one. Never seen my solution when I looked online so it could be it will not work when the really heavy smell sets in - or maybe my :smoke: and thinking together did some serious results
Costs:
Frame: 15 Euro
Wooden plates: Free (had some old ones lying around)
Fan: 15 Euro X2 30 Euro total
Fan in/out: 20 Euro each, 40 Euro
Homemade Carbon filter: 14 Euro in total (works like a charm)
T8`s: 15 Euro each, 90 Euro in total
T8 tubes: 2 Euros each, 48 Euro total (12X 3000K and 12X6500K)
Duck tape: Empy - must buy more. 5 Euro or there about.
Total cost: 242 Euro + what ever the white paint will cost me.
Found an old hygrometer and a digital reader for the temperature.
The grow room is built within a small room in the basement. The room keeps a steady temperature and the grow room does too as it gets the in-air from this room. This grow room will be easy to keep at 60/70% in air moist at the same time I am able to have around 40% in the drying room on top.
I expect my nutritions to arrive tomorrow and I am quite exited about that. It is Advanced Nutrients grow, bloom, micro and big bud.
A few photos from the grow room:
Air in:
Air out: (Homemade carbon filter mounted outside the grow room)
Grow area 1:
Grow area 2: (empty for now. My next grow I will hang up the T8`s and use both grow areas)
I am out of ducktape and therefor need some more taping. Then painting and build in an airtight door. Other than this, it is finished.
HELP ME:
Under every post many of you have some statement or url that comes automatic in every post you put up in the forum. Can you please help me explain where to find this so I can put my grow journal (and future grow journals) in that place?
that`s it for today. Time for some bonding with my
