I have been building my grow room for a couple years as I had time and funds to move forward. It will be lit up next week for the first time. It has been 25 years since I grew inside in a real "room". I mostly grow outdoors. The room is 9' by 7' with a 7 foot ceiling. Painted flat ultra white. 3) Lumatek 240 v 600s, 8" magnum air cooled hoods, 8" can fan with carbon filter. There is a passive 16"x16" inlet from an air conditioned room. The exhaust goes to a roof vent through insulated flex hose. 16" oscillating fan up high on a long wall and a tower fan circulating air in the diagonal corner. 2 of the 600s are side by side. The third one is over a 5'x32"x 10" high bed. I want to be able to run comparison grows between smart pots, plastic pots and unlimited root space in the bed. Should be fun. Oh, I plumbed cold water into the room, too. Well water, usually ph7
I was PMing Subcool about some stuff and he asked me if I wanted to be a test grower for him?
I hesitated for a milli-second to catch my breath and said "Of course, I would love to". Last night I got a package of Qrazy Train and Honeymoon Mix beans from Sub. Talk about a generous guy. I am still amazed by the kind gesture. I hope I don't screw this up. Still not positive what and how I am going to start. I am leaning toward starting all the QT beans and grow them out, topping and cloning to find females. Hopefully the timing will work to put a couple girls outside as well. I also won 2 packs from another site by guessing how many beans were in a little jar. Pure guess, I only missed by a few beans. I got a pack of Crystal Throttle from mini and another pack of the Honeymoon Mix from Sub. It would be cool to grow out all 20 of the mix and see what magic comes out of it. That plan will have to wait. Here's a pic to get this show started. Of all the strain pics that Sub posts, I think my favorites involve his black Trainwreck. There is something special about it, I just can't describe it. I am hoping my cool fall temps will give me the color show I am expecting. Time to shop for a real camera. This could be the year I need it. As a side note, I have 10 Agent Orange beans started at a buddy's house. Some of them could end up in the room and hopefully 2 different phenos of it outdoors. We shall see.:hubba:
