Emmie's Perpetual Vegetative Grow Rooms - 2020-2021

You might be adding cold air returns once all the lights are cranking. The coldest we get our upstairs is like 80F for just that reason. Poor air circulation.

Hopefully, our plan to use the two windows will work to create the airflow we need through the three grow rooms. The fresh air will be coming in via the left window and through the bloom area. Ducting will send that airflow through to the other side, entering veg room #1, and then Veg room #2 will be where the extraction window is, with a powerful vortex fan sending warm dirty air out to the air outside. It is my hope that the negative pressure created in that back room will be sufficient to keep fresh air coming in and heat going out. All of this will be enclosed and isolated from the rest of the house and with any luck, the smell and the grow environment will stay where it needs to be.
 
There's a lot to be said for "free" warm air in the cold season. But if you're down south where it rarely drops below 32°F that's not so much of a consideration.

Dumbwaiters are awesome. When I was a little kid, there was a department store downtown that had merchandise in the basement, too, and it had a largish one. I was the reason they ended up moving the control for the thing six feet away so that a person couldn't simply climb in, lean out and hit the button, and then pull the little door down and go for a ride.

They also latter decided to remove the "pay a dime to open door" box from the toilet stall, lol. Only time I ever had to crap in a store - and the sink didn't cost anything. (Hey, I was only seven.)

wait lost .. bloom room .. so now total indoor grow ?

passive intake / active exhaust ?

i'd do room in room. active in / out, or out only on the individual rooms, exhausted to a main lung room.
the main lung room is then exhausted to outdoor. the main exhaust is scrubbed. you can scrub the individual rooms if you like, but you won't need much.

have done a few recipes this way. some with sealed rooms between.

Cool, sounds like you got it figured out. :bong:

I think she's a legal grower and might not have to treat the exhaust.

Yeah but it’s polite, just saying. Depends how close any uptight neighbors are.

this is also true.

filtering always remains an option if we deem it necessary... the prevailing winds should usually blow it in a friendly direction.

you strike me as very responsible. - just a hunch.

it's legal here, and i just upgraded the flower room at my folks place with a phresh filter on the last grow. doesn't help at all, as my mom decided she loves the smell, and opens the door to the room when it's rolling to get the aroma all through the house..... :cheesygrinsmiley:

and legal or not, the smell should not be able to point out where a grow op is, just for security reasons.

Depends on the dog. :laugh:

Tibetan mastiff, lol. There was a report back in the late 1800s that this dog was capable of killing a tiger. They're said to be kind of noisy at night instead of the strong, silent (killer) type, though, barking at intruders. Really intelligent, too, which can be both good and bad (not the kind of dog for a novice to get).

Emily, I've been meaning to ask how "the process" works in your area. Do you deal directly with the people who use cannabis medicinally, or have to interact with a dispensary? And, if the former, do you have a restriction on the number, or are you allowed to work with as many as you have the ability to reliably produce for. Also, if you do deal with individuals and end up producing more than they are allowed to have, do you get to sell the remainder to a dispensary or other entity? I know you commented about having to dispose of excess, but wasn't sure whether that was said with tongue in cheek (or, alternatively, if dispose in that case referred to doing so via a dispensary).
 
According to my local health department official, there is no staff available to do home grow inspections and there are no plans to hire people to do this job.

The way the law reads, I am allowed to have up to 2 other patients whom I am the caretaker of. Each of us is allowed to have 8 oz on hand, supplied directly by me. Any excess technically needs to be reported to the health department so that arrangements can be made to send an armored car over here with the transportation experts, to pick it up, take it to a testing facility and then on to a dispensary for sale to the medical public.

As we are seeing, the way the law reads is much different than its implementation so far. I just drove by the future site yesterday to confirm that here there are still no dispensaries being built and it is very confusing where we as growers and patients stand as far as the new law is concerned. Maybe in another year they will get their act together and start all this inspecting transporting and selling. I will adjust accordingly when that happens.
 
i'm happy they don't destroy any reported excess.
 
Good news regarding the well water experiment. The little Durbans seem to have loved it... they are growing very rapidly. Everyone just got another drink, and I gave the rest of the cups a proper watering. The small but powerful LED light was moved up to its maximum height after seeing some leaf twisting on one of our Kosher Daddys.

The wheels of progress roll very slowly here in MA and ME too. It took years here in MA and ME still has none after at least a couple of years in the legal zone from what I'm hearing. Not always a bad thing I think, but it is good to know exactly where one stands.
 
Tonight in the middle of construction, we took some clones of our Deep Cheese and our Gummy Bear. A1-A3 and B1 are Gummy Bear and B2-C3 are Deep Cheese. The bubble cloner usually gives me a 99% success rate, so soon we are going to have some clones.
We just about have the Bloom Room finished out and ready to hang mylar... now we need to cut the veg room in half.
