Ok guys ive been lurking around the city for a few years now but have never done a journal. This will be my first journal but certainly not my first grow Recently I have been pushing off the start of my garden due to a dui I got 3 years ago. I have to complete a 2 week inpatient alcohol treatment program. My probation has been extended a whole year because they will not admit me due to high blood pressure. The only problem is my bp is only high when im there when I go to my doctor its totally fine lol. Anyway long story short Sunday was my 5th attempt to get in but got denied !! So im tired of wasting time after just expanding my grow op. Previously I ran a 4x4 with 1000w and a 400w mh in a closet. Now im using my 4x4 for a veg tent : 400w hortilux mh Magnetic switchable ballast 6" inline for exhaust 4" inline for intake For my new flower room I got a 4x8 tent: 2 1000w hortilux hps 2 magnetic switchable ballast 2 6" radiant hoods 12" inline pulling air through the hoods 13000 btu portable 2 hose ac 20 lb co2 tank and regulator Greenhouse green master controller Dehumidifier I run a 3 stage hydro logic ro water filter into a 55 gallon rez My dwc buckets do not hook up to my rez or recirculate . I usually always run a couple different strains and I find it works best even though changing buckets can be a pain there's usually only 12 buckets total so its not too bad . I run a lot of air in my system I think for my 8 flowering plants im up around 250 lpm and also run 2 stones per bucket So here's some pics for everyone to get a idea of the space im working with : Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Grasscity Forum mobile app

What's up brotato? I am loving your setup dood. It is pretty much what I have always imagined for a perpetual setup. 4 in veg, 4 1st month of flower and 4 finishing up. So every month I would be chopping 4 down and starting 4 more. That seems to be exactly what you are doing here. I run a DR150w tent which is a rectangle version of the DR150. Instead of 4x4 it is 2x6. I would like to keep that for a veg tent with a 400w or a 600w. Then get a tent similar to yours for flower and I'd like to get rid of the dual cooltube and rock 2 separate reflectors along with c02 in the flower tent. Ahhhhh ... dreams. Anyway I am def subbing to your journal and it looks like we are on about the same time line so that's cool. What nutes are you using if you don't mind me asking? I am also curious as to why you A: leave the bag open while germing your beans and B: why use a cool place? I usually wet my paper towels just like you and put them in a sealed bag and put them on top of my water heater. I try to keep them as humid and warm as possible. That's why I was wondering why you want them cool. I'm not saying you're wrong cause to me there is no "wrong" way... whatever works for each individual grower is as right as it gets in my book. Also please let me know how you like the CH9 gear once you run that. I have a buddy who is a breeder with them and I have been real interested in getting something from them. He is in on their Hashgirl strain. Anyway man I gotta run. I'll be around homie. PhillyB) Sent from my LGMS769 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Hey Philly glad to have you bro! Yes your correct that seems to be my plan here for the perpetual harvest ! I was taught that if the bag is sealed that the beans are at a greater risk to suffocate due to no air . So that's why I leave the bag open ! Lol as for B I guess I didn't realize I said cool .. you are totally rite in using heat IMO beans sprout best with like a heating pad or other heat source. Good catch ! I usually toss the germing beans into my walk in closet temps are low 70s with rh of about 40 % check out my journal http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-grow-journals/1287120-rapos-2400w-dwc-sealed-room.html

Kind of a ruff shot but if you can see 2 of the 4 seeds have already shed their shell and cotyledon is showing One actually has the first pair of true leaves coming in So should start chugging along preety soon ! check out my journal http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-grow-journals/1287120-rapos-2400w-dwc-sealed-room.html
