Back in the saddle again

A blank canvas





And the paint





Thanks to the kindness of friends and the genius of Fusion, those are 8 little Lemon Thai cuts adjusting to their new digs.

Cool


Right on!


Off to dePot I go. Calling D&J :thumbsup:

 

You have the room for one nice set up there! opcorn-2:

 

Are those T-8's?

 

Yep.


I've got a 1000W MH that I've never really used because my previous space was too small, but I'm gonna use it now. For the time being I just found a convenient shop light.

 

how big is the space overall?

 

9' X 12' but only 6' ceilings. Super low. I can't even stand up straight. But I gotta work with what I got.

 

Stoned sore and tired


Yeah its a laid stone foundation. House was built in the mid 1800's, and that's how they did it back then. It's a 3 foot thick sieve :roffl: It hasn't rained much in weeks and that corner is still wet. Might be a spring or something.


I see a dehumidifier in my future :jj:


BTW headroom is only 5'7"! It really feels like a cave, especially now that it's closed in.


I got the outer walls framed and rocked. Tomorrow I'll frame the tents. Then wiring, plumbing, insulation, panda film, and then equipment.


Although I'd like to run tables, I don't have the height for it. So I'm thinking dirt. Also, by order of Mrs. Farmer, operating costs will be scrutinized so I'm only going to run one 600W HPS for flower, and instead of the 1000W MH , I'll go with flouros to veg, because they run cooler and I can get them cheaper than a small MH. I have one 6" fan for ventilation and cooling. Check out the weird little block room under the fireplace, with the ash door conveniently sealed shut. I'm hoping I can get away with venting into that creepy Spider Cave Hole From Hell.


I Hate Spiders :XXbazooka: :spider:

 

NEVER put your drill w/battery on a concrete floor or any battery for that point, it sucks the life outa them and renders the battery unchargeable for life, then u gotta blow 100 on a battery......been there, learned the hard way


Room is guna be sick, if u do it right, you should be able to do like 2lbs a month outathat room

 

True. Set it down a piece of wood. And it looks like you're about to lose a nice level.


Room looks good :thumbsup:

 

My grow area only has 6' of head room and thats why I decided to do a SCRrog.


It kept my plants under 4'.

Are you serious?


Shit! I never knew that about batteries. Thanks for the heads up.


BR I gotta check out your setup. I have some significant limiting factors. I gotta watch the electric bill, and discretion is key as I will have service people to worry about. That is a guarantee.


Ofo that's a cool way to make pure water, no pun intended. I have an RO filter, but I'm sure I'll make a ton of water in the dehumidifier, which is the same thing right?


For now I'm limited by power. I can't run a ton of shit. I have to go with one 600W HPS for flower. But CC I'd like to hear what you would do. I'd like to set a realistic goal for a year from now, and build towards it. Two pounds a month sounds good to me.


For this run I'm thinking of The Resin Rubber Recipe in 7gallon smart pots?


Constraints - discretion, power usage, ceiling height and budget.

 

what would you do


So what would you guys do? Two questions - first, how would you get the most out of the 600, and second what would be your ultimate set up given that space?


:read2:

 

You should be able to keep your temps in check fairly easy in the basement. My grow is the attic with A/C and this summer was quite an expensive power bill.
