This is amazing, thanks guys!! Registered and now the big wait. A bit behind the curve but it is going to be fun nonetheless 

In that case, let's do it! Rubber arm = twisted

Will see if I still have time to get my pack though

Shot for the support guys, I think I'll have to contain myself until next time and plan properly. I'll only have a spot for 1 plant and the rules state to grow 3.

My set up is full but I have 1 girl in my tent I accidentally stunted when her roots got entangled in the air stone, so I could put her in a pot and replace her with a new grow

Welcome @donnob

Decent setup you got going there

I see you signed up twice for the growoff. Did you receive the link?

I haven't received a link no, I was hoping to get in by closing. I guess I stumbled upon this great community a little late, maybe next time

Nice 3d Printer  they are fun to play with.

Just remember for your ventilation... one in, one out.. you do not want to run a shrink wrap or balloon tent. Brings additional stress to the plants.

Man, I've printed tons of grow paraphernalia with that printer, really handy tool!

I have a 6" exhaust fan pulling from both tents and then 2x 4" intakes bringing in outside air for each tent. Was under the impression a you need a bit of negative pressure? My tents do starting sucking in slowly once it's zipped up but not quite "shrink wrapped"

now I am wondering how long before you split the room, white out the walls and light the whole joint up hahah 

 that thought has crossed my mind

Whoa, thanks for that update highchome! Was looking at these lights as well

Thanks man, yea, I put dibbs on that space the first time I saw it, just in case other family members get any crazy ideas  

Thanks guys, gonna have a jol here!

Howzit guys, just joined here, awesome to have a local community like this sharing this common interest. I'm looking forward to learning with you guys!

Thought a fitting introduction would be to tell you about my grow set up.

At the back of my property I have a small 3x3m room attached to my garage which has now become the grow room. I painted it out, coated the cement floor and replaced the glass windows with plexiglass so that I could lasercut appropriate holes for my ventilation. I 3D printed the louvers on the outside as well as the 100/150mm fittings for my ducting.

Environment

• 2x 1.2x0.7x1.7m grow tents
• Tent 1 = 1x BestVA 1200W (240W draw), upgrade will have to wait a while 
• Tent 2 = 2x Blurple lights (180W draw each), again, these are not ideal but get the job done for now
• 1x Ø150mm inline fan for extraction
• 2x Ø100mm inline fans for intake (1 for each tent)
• 4x Oscillating fans
• Bug barriers
• Temp/RH Displays

Short story:

Circulating DWC

Long story:

I built my own little circulating DWC system with a reservoir for each tent. I have an air pump that has a manifold for 6 outlets so I pump that into each bucket including the res, obviously with a air stone in each. To circulate I sized down the 40mm piping to 12mm and push the water through using a submersible pump. In the net pots I have my germinated seed in a rockwool starter cube and filled with clay pebbles.

For nutrients, at the moment, I'm using TA Tri Series, formerly GHE. I got a silica and oxygen boost from @GrowGuru that works pretty well and I finish off with Ripen 

What's in the box?

Currently I have 2x Dinafem Big Kush's in week 2 of flower in the the tent on the right and 2x Dutch Passion Durban Poison in week 3 of veg in the left tent.

I guess that's about it for my intro
