Starting this Journal a little early
I will be DROPPING Seeds on November 9th
===================================================
I will try and keep this active until then.
Since MUSIC is a big part of my life and
I can always find some Lyrics that can say how I feel
I will start with
Joe Cocker
A little help from my friends
Also Since this is going to include ME and my 420 friends
I wanted to post a picture of myself, want to try and get this on a more
personnel level. Don't laugh at the suit I only were them on
special occasions and since this is one of them I thought it would
be appropriate

OK On with the Show
The specifics
Grow Medium & Additives = Doc Buds High Brix Kit Mixed with
1 Bale (3.8cf) of Pro-Mix HP W/Mycorrhizae & 30lbs of EWC (No K)
Seeds = BlueBerry from 420
Lights = One 400w Sealed Air Cooled XXXL Hood with MH or HPS (Depending on stage)
& 9 T5 Hortilux bulbs as follows
5 single 2ft PowerVeg Full spectrum UVA/B bulbs
Remaining 4 T5s = 2 each single 2ft PowerVeg 420 & 460 spectrum bulbs
(420 & 460 for Veg and 620 & 633 for Flower)
Total 616w Draw at Wall Socket
ENVIORNMENTAL SPECIFICS
THE GROW AREA:
Set up is Down Stairs (living area upstairs) Cement floors.
Central Heating & Air Conditioning However I never turn on the AIR conditioner
unless it's really really Hot. Temps are always cooler on the 1st floor anyway.
Temps In tent normally run between 69f to 73f Lights out and 75f to 79f Lights on,
Occasionally Temps will get to 81f before I turn on the Swamp Cooler
TENT:
Tent is the LIGHTHOUSE HYDRO Model measuring 4' Foot wide X 2' Foot deep and 7' Foot Tall
Tent floor has been Insulated with 2 inch R-Tech Insulfoam cut to fit, its placed under
the removable Silver reflective fabric Water catch tray.
I usually leave the tent flaps open unless it's really cold and then I will close them to hold in the heat, this is rarely needed
All Electrical Cords are above the tent floor with all plugs positions higher than any wall socket in the room, Don't need to step into or Touch ELECTRIFIED water
ACCESSORY'S:
Also Running Two small Vick's Cool Mist Humidifiers (0.5 gal each) Always filled with RO water I have found using Reg tap water clogs my Carbon Filter with that White fin Powder (we have very hard water)
Two 6 inch fans in tent, one on each side pointed at the Humidifiers to disperse the moisture
and keep it from getting pulled into the fans (6 failed before I realized that's what was causing it)
12 inch fan outside of tent directed at plants also have a Swamp Cooler outside of tent
I can run in front of 12 inch fan to help with Cooling if needed. Have Dehumidifier if needed
but rarely used, I keep the humidity between 50 and low 60s in Veg and 45 to 55 in flower
5 Temp / Humidity gauges 4 placed in different locations at the Canopy level and 1 corded
model that is placed at the Root-Ball (corded end) when Up-Potting. Also have A Hand-held Temp Laser pointer I use to locate the highest Temp locations generated by the MH/HPS Bulb
ENVIORNMENTAL CONTROL:
Inlet fan at bottom of tent I can turn on when I close the tent up
NOTE I also have a Volt/Amp/Watt (Kill a Watt Meter) meter set in line with a variable power rheostat running to the inlet fan and another to the exhaust fan with this I can fine tune the inlet fan by looking at the Amp draw and keep the air flow set at the perfect setting so it's not sucking in the sides of tent OR pushing them out, it can be easily set at the perfect in and out volume.
Light, fans & Humidifiers are set up with those remote type push button on/off hand
held remotes. I installed them this way to make sure in the event of a power failure Nothing
can be turned back on until I am there to make sure EVERYTHING re-starts (can't have lights and no fans) Also don't want lights restarting multiple times in the event power comes
on and off a few times.
Also have a "Rain Forest" CD playing 24/7. The CD Player is outside and atop the Tent,
This keeps the Humidity moisture from ruining it. Speakers are placed in Tent on top of the Light Hood. Figured since I was controlling Light, Air, Water, Humidity, Soil and Smell I might as well include Sound and play God all the way. Plus its very relaxing for me so figured it may help
them with stress as well ? can't hurt so why not
behind the bleachers and ya may be on time for Class Van
