vertical groving shelving style

Hi RUI i was thinking about tweaking my next project for vert and i bumped in to this tread on other site ....
I won't put a link because i don't want to promote other MMJ Sites on RUI but i will paste begining of that tread.... maybe someone can benefit from this.

Vertical and Wheels, a match made in heaven:

here is continuation of it...


The plants are about 2 feet from the 1000w lights when they're that small. The plants grow inwards and up, and I plant them with a slight incline when I transplant into the 3-gallon pots... so there's no real need to tilt the shelves.

8 Shelves x 10 Plants = 80 plants

3K Watts

Best yield I've gotten was a few ounces short of 6 Lbs - purely Organic w/Metanaturals & PowerFlower soil - no bloom boosters, no Co2....

I'm a tiny bit less lazy of a grower these days, so I'm hoping to top that with the run I have in there now.....

I water with a hose and wand from the back of the shelves.

The shelves are just plywood and 2x4's with wheels, painted w/ Mildew Resistant bathroom paint. Each shelf is just a tiny bit bigger than the seedling trays that I use under my 3 gallon pots.


Haps - it's rolled out just to show the size of the canopy - here's a pic of it in bloom only partly opened:

more pics from that run.



6.5


Dude pull out 6.5 ponds in that set up ... kudo's to him

I was looking for coliseum reports on other sites and bumped into that .... if that would be fully automated seems like a cool project ...
in about 2 months i''m moving to new place and maybe will make one with ebb&flow tables .... i so at home depot 2'x3' masonry trays for mixing cement .... that would work perfect in something like that lol ... only problem would be humidity .... in my new place i was thinking about getting mini coliseum ... but price wise i think that DIY set up would be way cheaper and in 2'x3' tubs roots would have way more room to play

It's nice but I believe it could be done more efficiently with. 5 x 600Ws each,with there own shelving. That pulls just over .97 grams/watt, where as I believe that set up could easily do 1.1g/w possibly 1.25g/w (at that level of light .1g/w is 300 grams so it adds up)
You could have them all open like that in a room and they would be happy.
