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
Grow Media
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
