Snoops Growin Dro

Whats up every one, I am currently running a small grow Id like to share w/ you so here we go

This is going to be my personal perpetual grow year round...I have a 8'x5'x7' flower room and a 4x5x7 veg. All walls are covered in panda poly and mylar.. Vent is a 6" inline @ 400 cfm and i built a scrubber that is great. Fresh air comes from thr 6"ducting coming form the window in the flower room goes through veg and out the chimeny...It will also aircool my hoods.

Speaking of hoods...Im running a 400 watt MH for veg and 1000 watt HPS for flower...

The flower is going to have 4 recurculating DWC buckets and veg will consist of cooler bubblers and bubble cloners...I would get intoall the equiptment but Im just a lazy ass sojust ask me what you want to know lol.

Nutes....I was thinking about going organic or somthing like nova but I said fuck it and got the GH 3 part...I have a RO filter and a ppm meter..Right now Im keeping like 300 ppm for the small seedlings...PH is 5.4-5.8...but soon I wont even need to check my ph after there in mid veg (RO comes out at 6.0 -6.2)

Strains...6 Very berry and 6 Boo berry....these are mostly indacas and VB is a outdoor strain from swiss green hornet. Its a blue berry x Erdbeer (strawberry)

I also have had a problem in the past w/ pythium so I keep my res temps fairly low...I have a freezer that holds all my airpumps and keep my beer cold lol well if any one has any ? feel free

Peace W S

Cool Snoop, you got it going on. Looking forward to see it progress. I use GH 3 part too good stuff. Are you running nutes by the bottle or Lucas formula? Good luck man.

Gen: The glass domes are liquer glasses..I use them as humidomes for the new seedlings
The 400 is 18" from the canopy..Thats a bit too high and I could go much lower but I need the foot print to cover the whole grow space.

Here's my grow at start 2nd wk veg...If any one has any questions or pointers feel free to post...Everyone who just read this smoke a bowl and have a wonderful night!

amstron: Its all Home made.. I just built the recurculating DWC for flower. Its way too easy to make these things then to buy them..just keep it simple at first..and start w/ 4+ plants so you have some room for error...and ?? just ask mang..PEACE

Is it cheaper to make them, if so is it a significant amount?

Well I dont know how much a company made one is, but I would compare mine to the water farm 8 bucket...I'd say w/ everything (air/ water pumps) 100-150. If you build one right and dont cut corners you can save 100's and have the same result.

Gen..sativas are good for commercial grows and dont need as much care...and indicas are more for personal..cuz sativas use more light than nutes..and indacas are about even w/ both.
thanks garden unkown...there getting huge now and they were starting to ball..so I took the 2 largest ones and made a grow box..then placed it in the flower room..here they are

also the grow box is 100 watts of straight bulb per sq ft..that little fan keeps it cool..does any one know if it will grow faster or just strech(witch I doubt)

Hey white snoop, I like where you put the hole for the bubbler tubing. Does your bubbler tray just float on top or did you glue it down to the bottom? That's interesting what you said about sativas and indicas. I had never heard that before.

Thanks for the pictures. Good looking grow!

whats up Gen, thanks for stoping by, I just have a T barbed end in each bucket...Airstones are overrated...The only reason I use my bubble bar airstones is to keep premature roots wet. If you just have tubing or a T it creates more DO than any airstone.

Really. That's interesting. I have read that other places too. Will have to eliminate the air stone some day. One less thing to have to manage. And I've heard of those suckers getting clogged with algae and stop bubbling. Thank you for that tip white snoop.
