I'd like to start out by saying thank you for visiting Gronys grow journal a Lil about myself, i used to be a regular in these forums back in 2008 .some older members may remember me as "aurora indicas dad" I'm a Michigan medical marijuana caregiver I am licensed and remain under my plant limit at all times. With that said I have 4 patients that depend on this medicine and expect good quality mildew free herb..I have the upmost respect for this herb and all the issues that one can encounter while growing this beautiful magical medicinal plant. Ok so enough about me.I'd like to introduce you to the bud room this grow journal will be for as well as some of the strains that are present inside this bud room. I have constructed this structure using 2 x 4s plywood,spray foam and poly.it has a ventech 6 inch inline fan bringing fresh air from outside the room going in and a 6 inch hydrofarm exhausting out.I'm using a magum xxl as well as a blazer as far as hoods go.they both have 6 inch flanges and are air cooled.inside the hoods are one 1000 watt hortilux super hps as well as one 1000 watt dual arc bulb and my ballasts are 1000 watt hydrofarm convertible ballasts.
after having problem after problem with my other bud room I've learned the importance of a steady humidity level. I was pretty much dehydrating my plants when my lights were on and they were giving me all kinds of issues so after hours/days of researching I have set this room up and am ready to make this a grow to remember. I run a humidifier when my lights are on and a dehumifier when my lights go off.i need to maintain a humidity percentage of between 40% and 50% humidity to beable to avoid mildew or dehydration. I am running cutting edge solutions micro,grow,bloom,uncle johns blend,bioroot,terpinator,floralicous plus,botanicares sylica blast,botanicares hydroguard and I add molasses at week 2,4,and 6 with the last 2 weeks being just water.i do use tap water but i let it sit out for at least 48 hours with an airstone inside it.....i will now go ahead and show you some pics of what I have.then ill tell you about the strains and well go from there....if anybody has any questions for me I'd be happy to help/explain.
