Thread: design for your viewing pleasure

What do you think of this design?

400 HPS in flower possibly taken up to 600 later on (hence the size of the flower room). Fluorescents for the moms, clones, and veg. I like even canopies and so far haven't had any issues with the growth under floros.

made this is sketchup by the way

no comments?

I like it so far.

Are you going to including your wiring routing and plumbing routing in future sketches?

thanks

plumbing won't exist... wiring will be inside the walls... pre installed before any cabinets, counters, etc

I was mainly trying to figure out how to best fill the space... centered around 400 veg with 600 being an option later

8.5' X 8.5' is just the space i can work with
this entire area doesn't exist at all.. would have to build 100%

What are your goals?

Although I have no experience with them, those vertical colloseum grows seem capable of using a lot of space efficiently, using however many vertically hung lamps you need.

Also, because I'm totally hooked, have a look at the Philips MasterColor HPS- Retro White 4000k available for 250 and 400w magnetic hps setups. Google search is the best, but basically really nice spectrum. My experience is still only with veg, but so far is outperforming my run of the mill Philips 400w hps I previously had under the bat wing.

How far in the future are we talking here guidance counselor (lol)?

To start I'd just like to get it up and running and shoot for as close to a gram/watt as I can. Most likely ebb & flow. Just to get something going until I can get a good guerrilla harvest in.
I experiment a bit with different techniques like lst, lollipopping, and just letting them go naturally and in the distant future that's all I'll expect from my indoor stuff is to play around and learn. But that's a little farther away.

But for now it's a fantasy, empty space.


let me know how those lights do for bud because the one i have now is el cheapo and it does fine but i need to replace it

since sketch-up obviously isn't what turns you guys on let me try a different approach


maybe the real thing will get you going



here we have a floor... you see i had to build around the pole to line up with the beams to tie in to



put up some extra support for the plates (top of wall) to tie into



first wall up... test fitting the second before putting the outer frame together



second wall frame up... building around the vent which is why the shoe was longer than the plate



second wall up... third started on the way to the door



it's electric boogie woogie woogie... lights and receptacles in... daily use ones anyway... more to come on that later-stay tuned



there's the third wall done... first piece of drywall up... door hung (tehehe.. he said hung)



more drywall... lock installed on door



no... the code is not 420... nice try though

nothing leaves this room until it's ready to be smoked.... hence the counter top work area

also... there are people who are not going to know what this is that will probably take a peak inside when it's finished... they aren't the type to keep poking around and i actually have a very good cover story

trust me... i can do perpetual in this space... maybe not full supply but i have other plans



t5 is on my list... i'm using a mix of cfls and tubes right now for veg... already have 400w hps... if i can do my part well enough that can supply me with most of what i need(read want[but then that's not really true now is it])

I wanna see that done, shit looks amazing.
