Whats up mates??? I am going to start my grow journal here. I will give a brief description of what/where my grow-room is and other setup details.
My Grow Box - The grow box is 4.5' x 4' and is in my attic. The height of my box tapers from 4.5' to about 12" at the top with a total hieght of about 5'6". The box is framed out using the existing trusses in my attic. I framed the box using 3/4" board as my outer walls and insulated with r60 then put up sheetrock on the inside. I covered the sheetrock with white panda film. I ran a seperate 30Amp circuit strictly for my growbox.
Ventilation/Exhaust - I will be running an air-cooled 400Watt HPS/MH Lumatek electronic ballast. I have 2, 6" fans on the exhaust. I also will be using a filter when the time comes. I run an active exhaust with a passive intake. My exhaust systems is as follows : Filter---ducting---hood---ducting---6" fan---6' of ducting----6" fan. My intake is a semi active/passive system b/c I am taped into my main hvac system with 2, 6" lines ran into my room ( 1 on each side of the grow box at the bottom ). This system acts as a active intake when my home AC system is running b/c the 2 ducts in my growroom blow as hard as any other vent in my home. I have a very strong negative pressure inside the grow box. If Im smoking a J outside of the room the smoke gets sucked into the room and into the filter. My temps stay between 65-85. I have to use a space heater that is on a timer to help controll the temps...I try to keep an average of 75 degrees.
Plants - I will be growing 4 Auto - DNA Genetics 60 Day WONDER and 1 Auto Dinafem Critical Jack. I will also be vegging 3 reg feminized seeds that I will be putting outdoors when they are well established.
All my seeds germinated and I planted them on Saturday! ALL the babies popped the soil yesterday so yesterday is when I started counting my growth cycle. We are in DAY 2.
