Grow Room Changes

We finished the nutrient swap today by draining the FloraKleen solution that ran last night in the PowerGrower and then adding the Aqua Flores, Rhizotonic, Cannazyme, and Boost solution.  The Metal Halide bulb was changed to High Pressure Sodium yesterday, and as you can see in the video it definitely has a different color spectrum.



The grow room went through a major reconfiguration today.  We removed a large workbench to make room for our next system.  A new station was set up with a narrower work surface (not as deep as the workbench) to give us a small working area as well as seed germination and cloning space.

  1. Its great posting.With LED Grow Lights , there is basically no heat produced, you do not need an elaborate exhaust system to remove heat (just for plant odor removal if you so choose), no ballasts are required.

  2. Great video and what an amazing garden you have there! Those lettuces look really crisp, fresh and delicious. I certainly think those lettuces will be the star of any salad :) I hope to grow the same type of hydroponics lettuce soon. Wish me luck :)

  3. Thanks, yes the lettuce was very nice. Got a recipe out of a Jamie Oliver's cookbook,Jamie at Home, pg 145. Cheese and onion salad w/creamy herb dressing. Had Romain, Arugula, and Boston Bibb (Buttercrunch). It was great.

    I find the lettuces are the easiest to grow from seeds so far. Good luck !

    Oh, check out the cookbook...he is really into gardening and this cookbook follows that passion by seasonal selections from his garden.
