I haven't ever posted a journal, never could see the end of it. And a year and a half journal would be a little long. You know I always say, "Got any pictures, we like pictures....". Gottafew. Kind of a panorama around the shop. I already posted construction of the tables, the bud dryer and the clone stand so I won't repeat those here. I have 5 tables currently in use, three in my 14' x 5' flowering area, and two in my 8' by 6' mother clone area. Two of the tables in the flowering room are lit with 4' 8tube t-5 fixtures, 1/2 red spectrum, 1/2 blue spectrum. The third has one of the origianl 400 watt hps hid's I purchased to start with, which I will be replacing.
I decided to put the third t-5 I purchased over the clones that are getting ready to go into flowering. Up to that point I was using 4-2 tube t-12 with a mixture of the right blue and white light bulbs. I still have the t-12's over the mothers and that will be were the next replacement light goes.

Of course have to have some clones too. These are just t-8 2' fixtures for now. Once in a while some one will mention heat as an issue. These three fans keep the air circulating, one at each end of the flowering room and one in the clone/mother area. These vents are connected to an 8" duct with a 500cfm inline fan that vents directly out the top of my roof.

I want the air moving. co2 is heavier than air, I don't want it sitting on the floor. And I want the room to smell nice. This bucket has Videomans cheap odor control with a small difference. I just put the gallon bucket of ONA gel in it and made legs to keep the fan in place. I just drilled them to match the original screw holes, cost less then $50.00 including the ONA. I have a fan blowing under the flowering tables and one for the mother clone area. And one that sits on the top of my heater. 'Fresh' air is as important and an integral part of controlling temps. Keep it moving.

I like my little rolling work table, saves my back, and this is my little sanctuary. I have RO water and a system for distributing it directly to my reservoirs and a floor drain. The floor is concrete so I don't have to worry about spills, good thing huh. I uhhh.... haven't costed this one out yet. Future plans call for two more T-5 lights, a carbon filter and fan for it, and then co2 with proper controls. Well thats my story.

Well VictorVicious - i love my set-up but yours causes me some twinges of jealousy

You have done you homework and it certainly shows!

Very nice Victor. You should keep this up as your journal, or something like it. Its nice to see your complete setup. Would love to know some of your trade secrets.

Yep very nice VV.....Enjoyed looking at all the stuff and I too am jealous lol!
I want to get one of those 4' 8 tube T5's you speak so highly of!

Almost all of my 'trade secrets' came from rollitup's forum. VV

i see some people saying you can start to finish using t-5's. is this true? is this a legitimate alternative to HID's with similar yield? btw, your setup is as legit as you can get. dont see any holes there from my knowledge base.
