Verticle Stealth Closet Grow, Google Sketch Pro design

Nice sketch. I don't think that you are really utilizing the space as well as you could. What size is the cabinet? 2x3? How big is the PVC? 6" 4"? How big is the center light including the tube? This picture looks like you are going to have about 12 to 18 inches max for the little guys to grow. Here is a picture of a 2x3 that holds 30 plants for a sog grow and provides almost 4 feet of grow space, if you needed it.

hey ichi do you have any more pics ?

thats a nice setup ichi. i have a small 15 site aero sog going with a 400w now growing 12-18 inch plants and liking it, so this verticle grow is a contination of that. It is using 4 inch pvc pipe which would be covered in reflectix ideally. The cab would be 6x3x2, its a fairly standard ikea cab i allready have a grow going in one. The plant pots i used arent really to scale in the sketch, they would be 3 inch netpots and the ones in the pic are probly closer too 4 inches on that scale. Also,i didnt overlap them with the u bends, so i might be able to fit 5 along the back and 2 on each side, as well as having a little room to offset them from each other so the plants grow between eachother. So i may be able to maximize this design at 36 plants 12-18 inches each. My favorite parts about this design is the isolated res making chilling/res changes much easier and the redudancy you get from having the system filled with water at all times. The lack of need for airstones is also nice, althogh i may consider adding them for redundancy. The way that the structure forms a chimney also makes venting really easy and efficient.
