Ok this is my 3rd or 4th grow setup using dressers or cabinets, other than my first closet grow thats all I've been using. All building materials were purchased from Home Depot, everything else HTG Supply. Roughly 28"x42"x66". Passive intake through the bottom with 2 x 4" booster fans with about 1" of carbon attached to each. 6 bulb T5 lighting with plans to add more eventually, we'll see how temps look later on.
The hydro setup is a homemade aeroponic/DWC system. There are plenty of youtube videos and howtos that have inspired this creation though this one is I think smaller than any that I've seen but idk. There are 5 mister heads and 2 airstones keeping everything happy in there. I cheaped out on the pump but this is only a low pressure system can't really afford the expense of the high pressure true aeroponics.
I've been doing alot of digging and have decided to use to lucas formula for feeding. Using 2 of the 3 flora nutrients by GH and a small amount of H2O2 to keep things a bit clean.
Last night I took 6 clones from the mothers, 3 Hawaiian snow and 3 Bubblegum kush, the snow is in the back. The Rez is 5 gallons of distilled water bought from the store with 5ml/gal of clonex solution and 1ml/gal of 29% H2O2. All of the pumps, piping, rez, etc. were ran with H2O2 and water for 12 hours and then air dried to sterilize. This picture is about 16 hours after clones were clipped, they recovered from the droop quite well I think. Temps are a little high around 77-79 humidity about 45-50% little low for clones no dome though. Ph around 6.5 right now I think thats where I want it for clones correct me if I'm wrong though. I got an OK timer for my pump, 30$ repeat timer with the lowest setting at 10 seconds. So I do 10 seconds on and 3 min off. Will experiment as time goes on.
Anyway sorry for that last WOT, lemme know what you guys think open to some suggestions or a bit of posative support cuz I'm kinda wingin it on this one. First time doing any type of hydro and using a different brand of nutes than I've ever used.
Happy Tokin'!!:48:
