Nismo's 2nd Grow - 5 Strains - 3 x 600 Watt HIDs - Topping - LST & Fluxing

re: Nismo's 2nd Grow - 5 Strains - 3 x 600 Watt HIDs - Topping - LST & Fluxing

Well here we go with the news...

We have a fairly large semi unfinished basement. This weekend I plan to frame up a wall and have a dedicated grow room of 24' x 12'. Half for veg and half for flower. Temps and humidity will be a ton easier to control in the basement instead of being on the 2nd floor (I was really dreading the summer heat). Once the room is all setup and finished, the girls in veg will move into their new home. The girls in flower will finish out that grow in the tent (only 3 more weeks). After that, the tent(s) will be used for drying. So now we will have room to take clones, keep mother plants, maybe do some breeding in a tent in a different room, make feminized seeds...the list can go on and on. There is already plenty of electricity and a water source so that's taken care of. As much as I like using tents, it is a real pain in the ass with 4 large girls and can really only get to the front and sides. Especially being in a SCRoG currently, we can't take them out. So that'll be nice.

Well I could talk about this for hours but wont. We will get some pictures up once the girls get moved in. I will say all of this went better than expected. That was the big news, you may now continue with your regularly scheduled broadcast. :thumb::cheertwo::lot-o-toke:

My basement is occupied at the moment. I won't get my hands on it for probably 6 more years. So, I'm in my 2nd floor room like you were in. I think I will have to get a window unit for that room.
We were about to get one this week. Then we decided it would be a lot easier to maintain environment wise and we would have a tons more room. It doesn't mean we will do a bunch more plants, just opens up to idea of clones and so not having to buy seeds. We placed an a couple seperate orders on Wednesday so we should be good for a long long time. :thumb:

What did you guys end up doing with your exhaust fan and carbon scrubber in your tent. I knew you were going to move it. Just curious what you did with it.
The carbon scrubber is hanging in the tent and the fan is outside of it. Tomorrow I'm hoping to have 2 600 watt lights installed, the exhaust, and a wall up with a door. Starting early in the morning. Hoping the girls get moved in tomorrow.

Thanks for the reply. Good luck with the building process tomorrow. Shouldn't be too hard. Take some pics. :thumb:

Stores open at 7 so should be sitting pretty good by noon. Pictures will be taken. I want to make it nice enough to be in a magazine, even though it will never be. I like a nice clean work area. Well organized also.

I wish I could say the same about myself. ;)

Well tonight was very productive. We got our basement all cleaned out ready for the activities tomorrow. If all goes according to plan, the girls will be down there tomorrow. But I was so anxious to see what it'll look like on the veg side, we had to put up a light!

Here is a panoramic shot of the room. It will be divided into 2 - 12' X 12' rooms. One veg, one flower. Don't have to worry about the wall for separation just yet. It'll be done before they go into flower.

Temps in the room are 72 and RH is 58%. We might actually have to use a dehumidifier if it gets any higher. Cooler Temps and higher RH....not what we are use to.Oh and yes that is a couch in what will be the flower room. Thought that would be a comfortable place to sit until flower time comes. I'll keep you guys updated tomorrow. There will be pictures of our 5 ladies also.

:cool:RoorRip

Nice, it's good to have usable space like that. I'd look into a DE light setup X2.

If my daughter keeps bringing home grades like her last report card, I might get my basement early. What a bad situation to be in as parent and as a grower. lol Do I root for her to keep bringing home Cs so she gets moved to my room and I then get her room in the basement, expanding my usable space 5 fold? Or do I hope she gets her grades up and stays in the basement? I will eventually choose the latter but oh how I want my basement. Can you tell I'm a little jealous? :cheesygrinsmiley:

Well I do understand your predicament. It's totally a catch 22. So I hope seeing this doesn't upset you lol. It's a wall!

Still have to tape and mud it, put in the insulation and drywall the otherside. But the "adult cave" is almost ready. But building a wall with a door by yourself is a real pain in the ass. But the end product will be worth it. We went with moisture resistant drywall and got a bunch more goodies also. 50' of insulated ductwork so the lights will have their own fan and dedicated air.

But have to get back at it, it's not going to build itself. But first....:passitleft:
