They make it real easy to control your environment and they're a small investment in the long run.
Thanks for stopping by, I'm actually not in crunch time yet, another week or so. This weekend I'm going to enclose a 6' x 6' area around the box with a pvc structure and put mylar on the instide...

I'm just thinking of using 6 dutch irrigation trays in a stadium arrangement so that I don't have to adjust the light. The light is at it's highest right now. I'm not sure if I will build a structure inside the pvc box to hold the light or not.

Thanks for the kind words.

Well buddy you are rude, but not because of your insults to my setup but for not reading my entire thread before you post.

Yes, $400 for a GOOD 600W light, I do not shop online I support the local grow shop. Why don't you take a trip down to the grow shop and get a pro grade hortilux 675W electronic ballast and a $105 bulb and a $150 light hood. Tell me what you spend?

By the way a bigger grow of the same quality would cost nearly double. Nutrients are expensive and I would never skimp on my plants food. I only have enough nutes to last until the end of flowering the first round, after that I have to get the gallon jugs of nutes for $50 a pop! I would never skimp on my nutes to buy a "better setup".

The 3'x3' tray was returned once I started playing with my light footprint.

I have space for 2 600W in the future, I'm not producing commercial herb here, I'm producing for myself. I'm happy with just 600W, as I do pay the electricity bill also. I have seen respectable yields with just a 400W that would be ok with me.

You also missed my first post where that this setup will EVOLVE into a vertical grow, I already have the light hangers.

Re-read everything as I'm sure you can tell this is not a 4x4.5x9 closet.

But this is:


Please read the thread before you post garbage, go back to Texas and enjoy your Mexican Schwag then re-read everything you missed and then give me a fresh opinion.

Youve got an awesome space to work with.
And I like how your setting up, thats an awesome light setup you got. Way nicer than my cheapo electric ballast that likes to burn out bulbs.


The 600w light is already 30 bucks tacked onto your electric bill every month and for some people (like myself) that can be considered a lot of money. I have room for 2 1000w lights but I choose to use a single 600w in a 5x5 area and get right around a pound every 2-2.5 months. PLENTY for me.

I cant wait to see you get some growin, Ill be around and waiting. Oh im going to go vote in your other thread

Thank you, your highness, ha ha ha... Anyway I have seen your grows also! Thanks for stopping in. I really enjoyed your scrog setups, way better than the chicken wire I used back in the day!

It is cold here and my clones are taking their sweet time to root. I feel they are going to root some time next week. Just going on experience. That is when I should have some new pictures up. I'm going shopping at the local home improvement store to "improve" this setup on either Friday night or Saturday during the day. I still need to pick up a fresh bottle of Diamond Nectar too!

Only thing left for me to figure out is how much pvc to buy and how many elbows. I'm going to need three 20gal Rubbermaid tubs because I know I'm going hydro but the rest is up in the air! I figure 5gal per plant seems to work great. I had a few 4gal Waterfarms back in the day that is kinda like a drip system. That worked ok but the roots really seemed to fill the space quickly, an extra gal might help me out.

I have not installed my RO water system yet, can't figure it out and I think a plumber will have to come by. I need to pick a kosher plumber to do it too!

Keep on boss, glad to have your seal of approval!

BTW, I also can't wait to see some growing there also!

Not in this day and age, I'll be building one to save on $$ to cover the mortgage. (There is a family and 3 other souls that require funds too).

The thread is more about the hydroponic system that should be used.

I plan to build a tent using pond liner and PVC tubing.

Thanks for stopping by!

True, true, thanks for stopping by. I hope you voted in my thread!

Soon I will have pictures available.

Heavy construction starts on Saturday. Don't expect step by step as I hope most viewers are able to add 2 + 2 and come up with 4 on their own. I just don't have the time or expensive camera batteries to do so!

At the latest pictures will be available to the interweb by Tuesday at the latest.
