Howzit guys, just joined here, awesome to have a local community like this sharing this common interest. I'm looking forward to learning with you guys!

Thought a fitting introduction would be to tell you about my grow set up.

At the back of my property I have a small 3x3m room attached to my garage which has now become the grow room. I painted it out, coated the cement floor and replaced the glass windows with plexiglass so that I could lasercut appropriate holes for my ventilation. I 3D printed the louvers on the outside as well as the 100/150mm fittings for my ducting.

Environment

  • 2x 1.2x0.7x1.7m grow tents
  • Tent 1 = 1x BestVA 1200W (240W draw), upgrade will have to wait a while 😄
  • Tent 2 = 2x Blurple lights (180W draw each), again, these are not ideal but get the job done for now
  • 1x Ø150mm inline fan for extraction
  • 2x Ø100mm inline fans for intake (1 for each tent)
  • 4x Oscillating fans
  • Bug barriers
  • Temp/RH Displays

Short story:

Circulating DWC

Long story:

I built my own little circulating DWC system with a reservoir for each tent. I have an air pump that has a manifold for 6 outlets so I pump that into each bucket including the res, obviously with a air stone in each. To circulate I sized down the 40mm piping to 12mm and push the water through using a submersible pump. In the net pots I have my germinated seed in a rockwool starter cube and filled with clay pebbles.

For nutrients, at the moment, I'm using TA Tri Series, formerly GHE. I got a silica and oxygen boost from @GrowGuru that works pretty well and I finish off with Ripen 

What's in the box?

Currently I have 2x Dinafem Big Kush's in week 2 of flower in the the tent on the right and 2x Dutch Passion Durban Poison in week 3 of veg in the left tent.

I guess that's about it for my intro

Nice 3d Printer 😁 they are fun to play with.

Just remember for your ventilation... one in, one out.. you do not want to run a shrink wrap or balloon tent. Brings additional stress to the plants. đŸ€“

Man, I've printed tons of grow paraphernalia with that printer, really handy tool!

I have a 6" exhaust fan pulling from both tents and then 2x 4" intakes bringing in outside air for each tent. Was under the impression a you need a bit of negative pressure? My tents do starting sucking in slowly once it's zipped up but not quite "shrink wrapped" 😅

Welcome @donnob

Decent setup you got going there

I see you signed up twice for the growoff. Did you receive the link?

I haven't received a link no, I was hoping to get in by closing. I guess I stumbled upon this great community a little late, maybe next time

Shot for the support guys, I think I'll have to contain myself until next time and plan properly. I'll only have a spot for 1 plant and the rules state to grow 3.

My set up is full but I have 1 girl in my tent I accidentally stunted when her roots got entangled in the air stone, so I could put her in a pot and replace her with a new grow

Absolutely. He will probably only receive the seeds on Monday but we can make an exception no probs

If he is in CT.. I still have a 3 pack Tortoni here.. he could get ASAP.

      Hey! I'm new
      By Gjack
      Hi! I'm new here. Please help me to feel more comfortable at this place. Recently i owned a little farm. As I was tending to the vegetables in the garden, I got the idea to plant some marijuana for my own use. The biggest problem is that I live in a country where it is illegal. So I'm open to talking about this topic, share your experience. It will be very interesting for me. Thank you in advance.

      Hello !!

      Howzit people. 
      Here to learn and just see what's going on. I'm a grower, only been growing for 6 years and recently got into breeding to create/preserve strains I like. I grow outdoors, I know the basics of indoor growing but do not have my own setup. I prefer local genetics and love to dabble with bagseed. 
      I created this account for fun, just to share my experiences and hopefully learn a thing or two.
      Edit: I don't have any pics up on the forum yet but you guys can check out my instagram if you keen  SAgrower (@africangrown) ‱ Instagram photos and videos

      Hi Growers
      I go by Dream, I'm a software developer who's into far to many hobbies and loves to deep dive into them.

      Main hobby of course being growing, I've currently only grown with Hydro using Coco, DMC and Kratky methods. 
      I've been growing for around a year now and currently switched from using EHG to Hortimix with my latest grows.

      Main reason for joining was seeing the AWESOME community and knowledge that is spread between everyone here. 

      Currently struggling with my latest grow in flower which has lead me to learn how to use Hydrobuddy with Hortimix to basically reproduce other formulas.
      Keep in mind I haven't been able to really test this yet and would like to share what I learnt with everyone here.

      Some photos of my grows:


      ^ Half my harvest still on the plant here ( Around last year Dec ).
      ^ President Seeds - Critical Churchill: Using EHG and an Autopot with Fabric


      ^ Can grow challenge on Instagram ( Harvested 2 weeks ago )
      ^ Samba Seeds - Auto Critical: Using Hortimix and a Can with ALOT of holes ( super important )


      ^ What's in my tent at the moment ( Around 2 weeks ago though ).

      ^ Planning to try this next
