Indoor Think Different think's different in his new 8000watt Build

[smith4924]

Hey all, it's been a while sense I have had the time to sit down and share what I have been up to the last couple months. As of last night I am officially moved into my new room. I started building it after Christmas from pouring the cement, framing, insulating with R-30 foam for a tight seal. Just want to explain what's going on inside the room and what I'm using. Not bragging so please don't take it this way. I have worked my ass off to achieve this dream so I figured I would share it with you.
The room is 13x20 CE room that is the start to a family owned and run dispensary. I have taken some classes to head towards being able to own one but the $30,000 start up cost is going to have to wait a little while. I got my family involved in this to help financially and physically because there is no way I can run this room alone or get approved for a loan at the moment for that amount.
In the room is 8 1000w Raptor 8 hoods run by 8 1000watt dimmable X-TRA Sun ballast which I have run before and out of over 300 my local shop has sold 1 has been returned and it was from the dude running it on a make shift power cord. I have a cap-2e 4 burner co2 burner, 2 8'' inline fans 1 for each 4 hoods pulling air from outside through lights and back outside. 1 8'' inline on a 32'' phresh carbon filter, 6 wall-mount osolating fans, 2 floor fans, 24,000btu mini-split ''not installed yet until spring'' and a 4000watt electric heater. Fuzzy Logic co2 sniffer and a Blue Print Master controller running Humidity, heat, a/c and co2. Running 1000w Digilux bulbs for bloom and 600w Digilux for veg with cheap 240w LED's in tents for clones and seedlings. I will be building a addition once the snow is gone for a special 10x10 4000w auto room just for auto flowers most likely TD and BAM.
As far as nutrients I have bough a gallon of Humboldt's Secret ''Golden Tree''. I am not going to recommend this product as of right now because I just received it today. If you get a chance Google ''Golden Tree'' or go to their web site www.Humboldtsecret.com and check it out. They say it replaces most nutrient additives so you just run it with a base nutrient and its organic. So seeing how it organic I will either be running H&G Bio comp. 1, Humboldt Natural or Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice for base nutrients. I will still use Roots Excelerator for seedlings and clones because I know how well it works and results don't lie. I will keep it simple the first round to see how this new Golden Tree works as labeled.
I still have my old room with no lights in it and it will be used for drying and curing.

If I can figure out how to upload some photos I will show you what happened from start to finish and what's in there now. When I click on ''select files'' it wont do anything but highlight it...anyone know why it would do this?

If you've worked hard for it bro its not bragging! You've earned it hope everything runs smoothly! As for the pics i think you can only select and upload one file at a time now and then you have to select another? Not sure though:karma Cloud:

Thanks bro, and that's a bummer only 1 at a time. I will try it and see what happens Thanks again:Sharing One:

Well I just tried to do one at a time and it will show up in the brows box but wont let me click upload. Is there something wrong with the site or something?

TD, bro I haven't seen any new progress on your room but I'm stoked to see how it looks now!! It sounds like a dream room bro!! I know you've got the skills and know how to produce some all out monsters with a set up like this!! :tiphat: :grat: "AFN smoke out"

When you open the upload window, in the lower right corner it says: Basic uploader. Use that. It will only let you upload and send one pic at a time, but it works.

Finally have a couple pictures to show

Hey AFN, I finally was able to get a few pictures uploaded of the new room. These were taken 2 weeks ago and a lot has changed for the better sense then. I too a bunch of photos tonight but didn't have the memory card in camera. I don't have my cord to upload them to computer that way so I will retake them tomorrow with memory card. I now have all lights and tents ducted and things straightened out. Plants are now repotted into 10 gallon smart pots and being vegged for 4 more weeks before getting flipped. I am running 4000w of MH at the moment then I will only be using 4000watts of HPS until spring then tents will come down and the other 4 hoods will be hung.


Here is a room full of different strains including Headband, Green Crack, Obsession, Sugar Black Rose, Afghan Kush Ryder and Cotton Candy. 2 in the front are TD and the 2 in the back are more ryders in DWC buckets Here is part of the last harvest I moved here from my old room ''all Ghost Train Haze #1'' this was some of the ladies I pollenated with GTH pollen to self it. I also used GTH pollen and crossed my Headband and Green Crack and I have collected just under 200 seeds from 12 plants. The seend look perfect and I have sprouted 12 of them to test grow them and see what happens. This was my first breeding attempt and it seemed to work so far. This summer I will be working at creating my own auto strain using Obsession female and unknown male atm.

This spring I plan to be Soil-less coco under these 4 lights and a 12 site Under Current system under the other 4 hoods. I will hang a temp wall in the middle of room and run different light schedule's on both sides ''one for autos and one more photo strains. I hate to admit it from past issues with company but I have gone back to Advanced GrandMaster line and using Connoisseur for bloom. I am also testing a new product called Golden Tree from Humboldt Secret. It is supposed to replace all additives so you use your base nutes and bring the ppm to 1300 then add GT. It is not Omri certified but it is organic. I am using it in 4 of my plants with Sensi Grow A-B atm. Lots more to tell about and pictures to share so I will take updated photos tomorrow and post them asap. Hope you enjoy this journey with me:Sharing One:

Wow brother! What a room! the hell outta you!!! Nicely done!

Thanks Guerrilla, I am super excited to get this room rockin. I love the fact that my family has joined me in my green adventure. We will be running 3 of these rooms by next winter as our plans of a dispensary go into effect. Though they know nothing about growing they will be helping with the finance and business aspects. They have owned their own business for 45 years and now semi retired and wanting something new. Even though I'm new to growing with only 2 years under my belt I have been learning a lot from my own mistakes and also now teaching them the ropes of what I know. I find it amusing my 68 y/o father and 50 y/o mother getting their hands dirty in the garden and asking me a lot of questions. I am very close to my family and nothing could make me happier then to be doing this with them. Being that my father and I are both master electricians we are going to start designing and building rooms for patience who want to grow their own. I am no longer caregiving at the moment but all 3 of us have our Medical Cards so we can legally have 18 ''6/each'' blooming plants. So I will be growing fewer but larger plants then before in hope for larger yields. I was able to pull over 6 pounds from my 3000 watts so the sky's the limit now

Thanks bro, I know I have been super busy between finishing this build, building a 30x30 for someone else, work and kids cheering that I swear im going 100% grey soon. I I didn't have my tasty meds I would have gone bat shit crazy by now. Just posted some updates but will post more by tomorrow evening.

Picture Problem solved

I just figured out how to transfer photo's from my internal memory to my card. Here are the updated photo's from tonight.

These are all Green Crack clones then in the 3 gallon pot a Afghan Kush Ryder. The tiny seedlings are my own seeds I created of GTH #1 X Green Crack along with GTH#1 X Head Band and also a couple selfed seeds. Here's the room almost done.... The little yellow thing is a 4000watt heater incase it drops to low at night. The carbon scrubber in the back is on its own inline fan and is controlled from the master controller so incase it gets to hot it will open the dampers and draw cool air in while pulling hot air through filter and outside. The hoods are vented in through the wall and damper through hoods, then through exit damper and fan outside. I also have a 24,000btu mini split for summer use. Finally got a burner for co2 the tanks were just to costly. Only 4 burners at the moment but works very well
Each row is at a different stage in veg so I will have a rotating crop every 3 weeks... Plant level co2 monitor and 64 pint dehumidifier. I added another 94 pint dehumidifier because of moisture levels in new cement were raising RH a little to high.
This is the area that will have the other 4 hoods in a few weeks and these tents will be moved out...

Hope you enjoy the freak show......:Sharing One:
