Pineapple Chamber

Welcome to my diary, and thanks for joining me on wherever this may lead! Now let me admit that I am writing this as the grow is well underway, and so I think you may be as surprised as I was to see how rapidly things progress. This is my first attempt at growing this many plants at once, and I began by constructing the space they are to call home. The space is 1.2m wide by 2.4m long, and 1.6m tall. This gives about 4.2 cubic metres of space inside. I constructed a simple frame of 45x45cm batten and clad it with mdf board, then lined the interior with panda film as humidity and custom wood are not the greatest combination. I taped over the board joins from the outside of the box to somewhat seal the interior from the outside. Inside I placed an oscillating fan which will circulate air, as well as 2x600W lights each with a digital ballast, offering the feature to run the lights at 200W or 400W, so I intend to graduate up in intensity as the plants grow. I also have an extraction fan with carbon filter pulling air out. While they are small I have it running in periods of 15min on/off. For the first few weeks, I can fit all 8 plants underneath the singular light running at 200W. They receive a small amount of vegetative nutrient. And as for the strain, Pineapple Express! The variety that i have the most experience growing, and the best overall satisfaction with whenever it falls into my hands. Beautiful taste, and as a grower, a happy plant with a nice structure.
