Hey @ReservoirDog looks good.
Whew. Finally got the AC Infinity system installed. With a 6.3’ max height overhead things are tight up top, but temps are under control
Looking good what kind of light is that?

Kingbrite 1100w. DM me if you’d like all the deets and down low, Don. Thnx for supporting the journal.
Hey Bill, Hope yer well and making some progress on your rebuild… any kind, it’s all progress. This tent had to have its overall height at the far end (in this pic) dropped 3+ inches to fit inside the room with slanted ceilings. As a result there is this space above near end while far end is snug. So to keep light level with ground that’s all the height I’ve got. As for the AC ductwork, I was advised to keep any bends to a minimum to permit function of draft bulkhead flap and tents ductwork sleeves are placed just fwd of midline. This was the best compromise of all those factors but nothings ever written in stone. Thanks for supporting the journal Bill. How’s the weather? Have you ever grown THC bomb? I found a 2fer sale that also includes free seeds of GG4 or some other high thc sativa as freebie choices. “Bomb” is a high thc indica dominant, heavy yielder I believe.Hey @ReservoirDog looks good.
Coming together well.
Can you slide that pole closer to the door a foot.
That would let you raise your light 6 inches?
Stay safe
Bil
That's right I remember the pics of the room before.
cold and snowy. 
I only smoke it before bed. 
rapid rooter cubes I started off using rockwool and hated it too. You can plant em in dirt or put them in your net pots with hydroton as I do. Enjoying the set up, as I am waiting for warmer weather to start my hydro gardens.
A reminder that we’re looking at all this junk cause we’re playing “How much money did ReservoirDog waste?”. See, after spending enough on Amazon to cover Jeff Bezos’ high octane fuel bill, I figured I’d undertake an effort in self shaming by listing it all here so others could tell me what a tool I am, and, more usefully and less obviously, report which items went unused and why, or were such big a phaff as to seem worthless even if they work.
In this case I’m hoping to avoid using this rock wool for propagation but don’t have a solution yet for something that will transfer well to net cups filled with hydroton (aerated clay) marbles. I’ve got 2 “ foam for my DIY auto cloner but that doesn’t fully solve the problem because people prop-ing those still use a pinch of rockwool… and I hate rockwool. You can’t dry it out and it has no moisture or temp layering to take advantage of. Anyway…. ‘hopefully’ this one was a waste, but no doubt I’ll use it outside if not in. Next is a kinda odd one…
I've never used dry Kool Bloom but have used the liquid version. 1. I had to lower the normal amount of PH down when Kool Bloom in use. 2. At maximum nute levels in flower adding near maximum Kool Bloom caused some burning. I never had that happen before following the GH suggestions.So, nutes. I went with the conservative choices, and bought both liquid and solid-soluble forms. This powder in pic looks to be the most economical of the two by far, while both forms definitely have a lot of fans out there in the Mary Jane growers world. This brand seems a decent cost effective choice for hobbyists, although cheaper and better are avail, just not to me in Canada. I'm sure I'll need more sooner than I want to so opps for testing brands should come along. I plan to supplement my mushroom substrate with it also so as to simplify it and tailor for fungi type.
Look at the insane P and K numbers on that kool bloom on the right. Its only for the last 1-2 weeks of feeding tho - so just about killing it is kinda the point. Good thing too. See liquid nutes in next entry.
thnx for both of these... have filed away for immed reference when the rubber hits the road here real soon. So with RR plugs, they just eventually dissolve into peat flecks and do not cause any y`all grief in the system.(question) I`m going to be runnin drippers until my roots hit splashdown, is it likely they will get blocked up and I`ll just have to accept it and just watch real close and clean out blockages or should I be shooting for a clean stage there (my keyboard is farked, wont let me make question marks this morning) Welcome to the journal gwhunran, we`re about to switch from build out to grow journal when my beans get here. Thanks again for this.
The best way to describe RR plugs, sponge impregnated with stuff good for roots. The base of the plant pretty much breaks it up. It won't have any effect on your water/pumps.
Anyone can clearly see your enjoying this.
I took gwhunran’s advice on prop. methods and supplies. I’ll drop the beans in these, then drop these into some plastic cubes seedling trays and drop’em in hereuntil they’ve made a good strong entrance. I recently ordered some Gibberalic acid, a natural seed germinator and plant hormone as well as some Indole-3-butyric rooting hormone with a thought of creating my own germination ‘pods’ but being totally new to the dark arts of coaxing new life from the seed I think I’ll do some experiments with the substances when they arrive and use these store bought thingies for my seeds. It appears that the seeds I ordered are not going to arrive and a small conflict has arisen with the supplier as a result. I’m disappointed and having spent 250$ on seeds that don’t seem to be forthcoming … I’m also tapped out. I don’t have an income at present so this is putting a kink in my plans but I’ll find a way to get ahold of some decent genetics ASAP, fear not! This project was funded at least in part by an outside investor familiar with my cultivation practices in a ‘former life’ and wishing to assist in my ‘physiotherapy’ convinced me to finally scare up a decent indoor hydro op, bless her. I must say that it is having a positive impact physically and otherwise, but let’s keep that between us or her head is likely to swell and become insufferable.
