Room upgrade.

well here I am again. First things first I FINALLY got the wife to give me the damn go ahead to use the Florida/sun room as my new grow room.

How’d I do it you ask? I told her I was going to use 1 of the extra bedrooms upstairs. Gut it, make exhausting in the ceiling etc lol. She then Suggested to use the Florida room. Easy as taking candy from a baby . Did I con her? Sure but I had to do something.


The room

16x20 open flor plan. (Square)
Equipped with central air as well as heat.
Carpet flooring
2 windows to work with.
Has separate door to outside.

I’d like to know what you guys would do with this big of a space. Because I have no fucking clue lol. But it’s mine now and I have to get started before she starts hoarding her shit(to her, prized possessions) back there and changes her mind. All you married guys or have a live in gf know what I mean.

Should I run tents?
Led?
Led?
QB?

Coco?
Flood and drain?
Soil?

Doesn’t have to be a long detailed response like it’s your own personal project. I wouldn’t ask for that much of your time. But just a hey run xxxx with xxx..... that’ll suffice enough for me. And as things move along I’ll post pics and who ever wants to chime in can gladly do so.

 

I’m in the basement at the moment. Was in a tent. Then decided to go outside the tent. I feel I have better control of my environment inside a tent. But then I was thinking maybe Its just because I’m in the basement? The Florida room is basically the same temp/humidity as my home seeing as it’s attached and duct work runs through. I currently already have a 4x4 tent as well as a 5x10. So that’s a start. I also. Have 4) 1000 watt hps. I just don’t know if I should run basic lights from the ceiling with plants on the floor? Or 2 flowering tents running a scrog(never done a scrog but seems that’s the best way to utilize tents). So as you see I can veg in the basement and flower in the room. I’m just torn on grow style. And in tents or open floor plan. @PhenoMorph

 

Yeah. I thought about running autos too. But I can’t keep the genes around. Only reason I stray away unfortunately. My life would be easier lol

 

I like what I’ve seen qbs do for sure. They exceed what I’d ever thought they’d do.

 

2000 watt grow


Current setup. Atm.

 

Abso-fucking-lutely lol. Already on it

 

I decided to go with a 10x10 grow tent. Was going to do 2) 4x8 but opted out due to the fact I’d have to control 2 separate environments.

1) 10x10 for flowering
2) 4x4...1 for each strain.
3)veg 4 foot 8 bulb T5 a piece.
4) flower 4 1000 watt hps for the first run. Then I’ll swap out for QB lighting. Hlg 550x4.

Sound good?

 

Hps has proven itself time and time again to be a good producer and penetration of the canopy. But qb has come a long way. Solid yields, solid trich production etc. I’d say it’s par with hps. Added bonus of cheaper to run, as well as less heat.

That’s my plan as of now. I’ll probably order the tent, GH nutes, and a better ph/ppm meter Friday. I have 1 4x4 tent already. So I’ll grab another as well. I have 4 hps, carbon filter, and 2 High velocity fans for cooling. I’ll probably get a dehumidifier just to be on the safe side as well.

Anything else anyone think I would need I may be over looking?

And pics will be up once set up

 

I’m not pro in the qb world lol. What do you think about hlg 550? Four of them in a 10x10

 

I’m sure I won’t go back either lol. Can’t wait to get everything ordered, here, and set up. Now I have to find some strains to run. I’m scrapping all genetics I have atm.

 

I’ve heard good things about that strain. Just rummaging through the forum I kept reading about it. My buddy bought some wedding cake and found seeds. Gave em to me, so I popped them lol. It literally smelled like cake. So hopefully I get a female outta the deal.
