I am a lazy grower. I think thats the first thing to know. I try to spend the least amount of time in my grow as possible. If ACInfinity ever makes a robot arm that can prune and harvest, I’m the first in line. Its been a minute since i wrote up my grow room on a forum.
Started Organics in 2015. I have 2 40"x40"x17" wood beds. Made from 2 giant wood hospital doors and lined with pond liner. Centers are open to allow drainage. Each sit in flood trays on top of custom platforms. Each bed has its own trellis system recycled from a wind damaged amazon canopy.
11x9 basement grow room with 8ft ceilings. Each bed is under x6 ChilLed Growcrafts and Cali lightworks UVB fixtures. Ballasts are mounted outside of the room and I’ve used specialty plugs so it looks like the lights are just plugged into the ceiling.
Left bed soil is almost 4 years old and is on its 9th round. This is a hugel kulture bed using mostly very old brittle wood (these days i doubt there is much left in there). Soil mix is just stuff from my local nursery and craftblend.
The right bed is mostly Build a Soil 1.0 purchased in 2015. Years of amending on this bed. This batch of soil was ran in 8 25g fabric pots for 4 years before it was all dumped together to make up the current bed. It is currently on its 31st run.
Beds are amended with craftblend, Montana gro silica, insect frass, mustard seedmeal, gnarley barely and vermicompost. I like to topdress some pushin p as well.
Each bed has a centralized LT Irrometer. 2 ecowitts soil moisture sensors and a wittflow monitor and water. Can kinda see the top sensor poking out there. Sprayers are Antelco C sprayers. Fertigator is Chapin 16oz. I dont manually water anymore. That is all automated. I do run a wetting agent, coconut, aloe, amino-cal, Mag-sulphate through the fertigator at different times.
I do like to water in some goodies by hand that I cant use with the sprayers. Rootwise, Big6, and Buildabloom. To do this I use (imo) the best chapin on the market. The Chapin 47998. Seriously if you have ever had to spend a lot of time pumping a sprayer, I am sure you will agree. The 47998.
Current run is a 12/12 regs from seed germinated in the beds. Peonia Blue Sky from KidKaya in the Left and Garage Gas 3.0 WesSlo in the right. This round is almost finished and will be harvested soon.
Veg is custom space made in a 2x4 wire shelf. I am going to break down and get a tent as this set up doesnt hold humidity that well.
Doing a full Brothers Grimm Fem run. Northern Lights x C99, Cinderella Purple, Rosetta 78 and Genius Juice.
Harvest work gets done in here. Cannatrol to dry. Press for dry sift rosin. Trim bowl cause I’m lazy.
Big Love!
