Fruity OG Kush

Tent 4‘ x 2‘ x 6‘ Homemade 1x3 wood frame with 2 layers of panda plastic. Hinged door with latch. Two 5“ fans at bottom rear feeding fresh air in. One 5“ exhaust fan from top fed though ducting to another window mounted 5“ fan exhausting outside (8th floor). Absolutely no smell in room while budding Super Skunk unless you opened the tent door. Maintains 26° C. with all lights on. Lights used for both veg and budding are 2 x 150 watt Full Spectrum LED cobs (8“ x 1“) no lens, on individual heatsinks with fans. Each LED and bank of LEDs on own switches. Hung on heavy cord with pulley and cam lock system for height adjustment at each end, all 3D printed. Different colours are used during various phases of growth. 120 watts of 620 nm Red LED tape along walls about bud height (10 meters total length), 30 watts of 460nm Blue tape (5 meters) 9 watts - 400nm UV 39 watts - 445nm Royal Blue 18 watts - 460nm Blue 27 watts - 520nm Green 9 watts - 660nm Deep Red 18 watts - 720nm Far Red, all 3 watt LEDs seperately switched. LEDs mounted on heatsinks inside 2 long square boxes, one for each side with a 2“ fan in each. That is pretty much 570 watts total. The idea with the colours all on switches is so the Red and IR can be used for budding, the blue works good for slowing stretch in early flower. Green I am just experimenting with. 75 watts per sq ft in bud mode , 56 watts in veg. Grow medium is 50 - 50 potting soil and perlite in 5 gallon buckets Nutrients - General Hydroponics MaxiGrow, MaxiBloom and CaliMagic on their Medium Feed Schedule Average tap water ph is from 5.4 to 8.8, 87 ppm, EC 165 µs/cm I use vinegar or lemon juice as phdown. 150 watt heatsinks are made from scrap sheet steel, all fans are 4 or 5 inch fans salvaged from electronics. Infrared red and UV LEDs also salvaged. 1x3 wood recycled from old futon frame. Electrical panel near ceiling inside tent with all 120 and 12 volt supples with surge protectors, switches and timer. Total cost of the whole setup before the seeds and nutrients was 170 Can., thats tent, lights, buckets and grow medium and all the little extras. I happen to have electricity included in my rent so there is no cost there. For the next few years I will only need to buy seeds. I recycle the grow medium by just heavy repeated flushing after each harvest and have used this batch for 5 or 6 years with no problems. I consider it to be pretty much inert by now other than all the small roots in the mix that compost naturally. The reason I am posting this grow is to show that a reasonable setup need not cost a small fortune. I drooled over some nice tent kits but they are far more than my budget can afford.
