WTF does Ficky do?

  1. Well, here it is, my perpetual conundrum. I laid claim to a guest bedroom it's a 11x10 and I had to leave the bed and use it for some storage. I have (2) 12" intakes that supply fresh air 24/7 365. I've ghetto fabbed, with duct and aluminum tape, those 12" fans that you get in 2 packs from the box stores. The room is under constant positive pressure. Exhaust is handled via carbon filter and a 170cfm inline pushing out through the hood. The room just received new upgrades. I got a free new in box 1k dimable digital ballast with a new Hortilux. I splurged and bought a lightrail. I moved the LED (ds300) back to veg area and eliminated 1 light. I will also not use anymore electricity than I've been allocated. I still need to dial in what I'm doing to maximize the duct runs but right now I can touch the glass and not fry myself.



    Now to the meat. Currently I'm running Soma's Buddha's Sister. I have 4 plants each in #15 smart pot SIP 2 in each pan. Here is the setup

    These are then LST for about 50-60 days. One unit comes out, one goes in. No-till, h20 only with the occasional neem tea. The strains I've been running recently are finishing about 4-5 ft above the soil line. The current plants are at 8 weeks and 4 weeks since flip.

    Veg area, next one ready to go in another just started. Some GGA's that aren't happy me at the moment.


    Well that's it in a nutshell. Next up IRG.

  7. Thanks everyone, glad to see so many familiar faces.

    Gilly, no I've been collecting everything for a while. I got some stuff mounted up a few weeks ago only to realize that my ancient hood has what looks like a common hood mogul plug but the third post was up instead of down. Had to rewire the hood with a new cord and replaced the mogul in the process.

    I do miss the CMH bulbs though. That spectrum is awesome, but I wanted to get more penetration to maximize the space. So when I got the offer for the 1k I was all over it.

    Not much of an update, but took some clones yesterday. And had a piece of sheet metal try and take off my finger. Nine stitches later, I'm bandaged up and back in action. However, this put a minor obstacle in getting some soil re amended and cycling for the next round. Oh well, shit happens, this gimp will get er done this week.
     
  16. Super gimp!!!! A least it wasn't your green thumb!:D
