Whats up bro need help with a set up i already have 5 1000w lights 400w t5 and a 150 site cloning doing dwc 5 gal buckets trying to get the most out of my space can you help?untitled.JPG
I LIE ON HERE TO LOOK COOL
Do you have any larger greenhouse floorplans?
Complaint with all state laws.
need help with this, would this work?
little confusing to see what's going on there but it looks like it would work. it looks like you are doing a lot of plants. is it a SOG grow? you might need more room for mothers then. you are gonna need quite a few.
i dont think sog is for me, i want 4 to 5 foot plants the first pic was an old room lay out, the second pic has the dimensions
i want use this http://wholesale.cch2o.com//index.ph...index&cPath=31 for my hydro system
i need to keep up with a 6 pound a month demand
i amtesting out one of their systems right now. it's fucking awesome. you had better have some high ceilings and a chiller. what size sytem are you looking at? my guess is you are gonna need 2 16 site systems if you wanna pull that kind of weight every month. probably be better off with an 18 or 20 site system. pulling 6 ounces off 4'-5' plants might be stretching it in the beginning. takes a minute to get used to those systems. you run half the nutes as most other hydro setups. plus they are tricky to get dialed in.
looks like you have the room against the 30' wall to place 2 of those systems. gonna need a big ass chiller though. maybe 2 or 3hp commercial.
thanks for the input i posted a thread yesterday with my room requirements, ive grown organ veggies before for a local produce shop, growing weeds has to be easier! if stoners can do it, i mean cmon... lol jking check out my thread any input would be best.
Are you familiar with automated systems that will release the nutes top off water and adjust ph automatically, i want this to be a standalone system.
as for pulling 6 oz off each plant is stretching it i dontt hinks so, with 2 16 sites i only need to pull 3ozs off each plant to achieve 6 lb's a month i think i can do it if i can make the room.
The systems sold by these people show 18 inch centers to the plants. i think if i cut down the 2 inch pipe i can squeeze in some more room.
As for the chiller part my house is run on a 5 ton geothermal heat exchanger i dont use the desuperheater so i have an extra tonage of heat that the furnace is over built for my size of house, in the summer months i can run basically a worm like how moonshiners chill down the moonshine( i used to make 190 proof in one run with my reflux fractionating still, still have it if anyone is interested in how to make them) so chilling wont be a problem, in the winter months same thing switch the lines to the what comes out after passing through my furnace and that water is below 50 degrees and will chill my shit out!
Im also investing in solar power to keep my hydro bills down, 6 pounds at 1200 each is 7200, after taxes and costs ill be lucky to have half of that, living off 3k a month sucks id like to aim for 4-5 oz's a plant
anyways check my thread out
Thanks for the helpful post and pic. That is almost the exact dimensions and amount of plants that I plan to grow. I have a few questions. Are the lights you show air cooled and the arrows with the fan at the end , is that pulling air through the light hoods? If so, where do they vent? If they are vented out of the room, could you have both of them meet and vent out a single vent. About your A/C, I was planning on getting a 24,000 btu mini split. Would this be enough to keep the room cool enough with the 8x600w lights? Also what is the total amount of watts this room is using, not counting the veg room. I was planning on using just one room and switching from mh in veg to hps to flower. I have a 40 plant limit on my grow licence (want to do a SCROG) and a 70 amp limit on my power. I will be using as much 240v as possible to maximize my power. Might be possible to get 100 amps, but not sure so I can only count on 70. I am going to be growing in dirt for my first few grows.This is my first grow and any help on ths type of set up would be much appreciated. Pot size? dirt type?, nutrients? feeding method?? Thank you

hey @phillipchristian i had a question. i am venting my 6000 watt lights in a sealed and insulated 15 x 20 garage through the addict and out of the house. i have my mother plants in a tent inside the house so that is not an issue but plan on having a veg room along side the flower room in the garage. i wanted to create a box on the roof between each of the rooms that runs all the heat from all of the lights through the ducting into the box which will be pulled into the addict using a 10 inch fan and is then dispersed out of the house. what do you think about this plan and how many btu's will i need when choosing an AC unit?
