Just stumbled across this thread and had to drop some info on my build to keep things going. It’s been years in the making to get to where I am doing it on the side as a hobby. Disclaimer: I built everything pictured here 100% myself, including wiring all outlets and tapping into the main electrical panel, anyone is capable with the right research....
My clone box I built is 2’x2’x2’ and it’s on stilts soo the cloner can hang down thru it. It has been extremely successful at cloning, soo far having a 100% success rate on over 200 plants over time.
The main flower room initially started as a 6’x8’x7’ but when moving into the home were in now, due to space restrictions it got cut down to a 5’x6’, which actually worked perfect for building my 2’x3’x5’ veg box.
I initially started off growing in hydro and had a very elaborate nutrient resivoir/transfer station which involved almost 20 valves to make everything go where it needed to but what a difference over carrying buckets! That’s where my nutrient cart idea came into play, I can wheel it to whatever room needs watering, or outside to dump it. And as someone who loves building things, I figured how can I have all these rooms with nowhere to dry my stash?!? Soo I built a drying box as well that’s 1’x1’x4’ with a computer fan at the top with a compost bin charcoal filter folded in half then cut to fit over the fan to help stop the smell, and I must admit works much better than expected, and picked up a dehumidistat to control the fan soo it doesn’t dry too fast or slow, with a hygrometer to monitor actual humidity. Soo far the room has been a big success, I’ve had reallyyyyy good grows, but I’ve also had some crappy ones too, some part has played into laziness but I like chalking it up as bad genetics. Fortunately my northern lights I’ve had going for about 4 cycles now is starting to come around as a decent yeilder and getting some hardiness finally. Although I’m mostly excited for the GREAT Grand Daddy Purple and Blue Cookies I recently inherited clones from that were just phased into the veg tent. Absolutely love seeing other people’s ingenuity and willingness to grow their favorite plant.
and after this months harvest, I’m probably upgrading to a fan almost double in size for more control. The kind words definitely mean a lot though, if ya ever have any questions along the way feel free to send over a PM, always willing to help out a fellow stoner
and I’m glad I can spark some ideas for ya, even if something doesn’t apply to your room if you/ or anyone for that matter, have questions I’m glad to share my knowledge with others to hopefully help them avoid any issues or screwups I’ve run into along the way, cause not everything you see online will execute as well as others display from my back pockets experience
