Hello everyone. This is the beginning of my ever closer goal of my first crop :D
The pics today are of the area that I will be building in. I am in the midst of designing the actual structure but it will be approximately 5'x3'x8'. with two sides one 2'x3'x8' for vegetation and 3'x3'x8 for flowering. I will have two aeroponic systems one for Moms and veg and one for flowering. I am going to use the exhaust from my furnace to exhaust my carbon filter and the water runoff as a drain for my reservoirs. I am getting a 250w MH and a 250w HPS. let me know what you think and I will update as often as I can. Hoping to have the grow area ready for a Grand Daddy Purple clone grow starting the end of september.

But there is no sense in crying over every mistake, you must go on trying till you run out of cake and the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people still alive...

Fitting song I believe. Being a father is an envious thing to be...

Looking good... Is that a water heater? Is that where you are going to build it.

That is the furnace. Yes that is where I am going to build. I am going to be putting in an isolated circuit and building a grow closet. I will keep this updated as it progress'
 
While I wait for my electrician to have time to setup the circuits. I am working on my aeroponic units. Here is the layout of each device. Please let me know what you think of my design.

by the time I actually use the furnace the heat will be a good thing. It only drops below freezing here for a few months and that is only in the morning. I dont think it will be an issue. Thanks for the concern, to be perfectly honest my garage was so messed up before I "decided" to clean it out before my build. That I really have no idea of the temp range yet. I am hoping that between the lights and venting I can keep it where I need it. :D

OK very quick update, damn i cant wait to get this up and running. I got the base designed. and in the pics you can see the containers that I am going to use for my aero design. One as a res and the other for the sprayers and pots. I should have three sides finished this weekend(wish me luck) I ordered my t8 grow lamps for veg/mothers I have two of the following I say have as per my normal run of the mill luck they only sent me one, no big deal they are sending the others but it would be nice if something would run smooth you know :hairpull:

I am hoping to get my HID light in a few weeks right before I get my clones. mmmmm yummmy OG Kush :rolleyes: Really hoping that this will keep my electricity bill lower than two HID with simular results.
