I soaked the rockwool in 5.3 ph water for 12 hours and transplanted this morning.

Hopefully I'll post some pics of healthy seedling in the next few days

how are your temps looking in the room?

My bigggest issue. I will admit that I underestimated the heat of a 1000 watt bulb. As long as the furnace isn't running (my plants are in the boiler room) and I have cool air coming in the room stays at just under 80 F, which is fine.

I will also add another dedicated light fan and we should be good to go. I'll post pics as I go along

Here's a few more pics of the final product. I now have 3 dedicated fans for the light, one duct fan blowing, one duct fan exhausting, and a third fan blowing the hot air away from the glass.

There will also be a freestanding fan in the office that will be blowing fresh air from outside onto the garden. The exhaust fan is directed into a crawl space.

Ultimately I will grow 6 plants under 1000 HPS in approx 15 sq ft. My goal is 2-3 oz per plant.

Three 18 gal Rubbermaid will house two plants each using DWC. By using three bin I will have more options moving them around.

I tested it yesterday and the room stayed between 76-79 F and I estimate that I will be able to put mature, flowering plants about 18" from the glass.

Jaydoe, you're making a big step up from that old PC case, my man! Kudos!

For those of you that don't know this guy moved cross-country with his ladies in flower inside a PC case and they survived.

Legendary... I can't wait to see what you pull with that 1k lamp.

You have a completely botched up plan my man. I don't know if you came up with it on your own but if you didn't if it was someone else who steered you wrong you might want to kick them in the nuts.

You are not going to grow trees in that space with a 1kw light, you don't have the room. You can't veg plants more than 1.5' tall even if they're sitting on the floor because a few feet are used by the light, you'll run out of space. You'll run out of space in every direction in a heartbeat with a 1kw light in there, six plants will have to be trained in some form but I can't think of how at the moment, not quite awake.

When you grow a clone to 18" or whatever it's done vegging and it's going to double in size when flowered.

I understand you wanted the biggest light, but you aren't going to be able to take advatage of it at all until you get a larger space. You can use it, but it's just a 50% waste mostly.

Maybe I'll see this thread later and offer more constructive help when the brain works and I can think of the best way to use that space and that light. You need someone very familiar with 1kw lights and how plants will grow in that space with double the lumens most people use and on hydro. Never having quite attempted what you want I'm not the pro on it, but I can figure it out.

Naysayer's!

Jay, you may have gone overkill with the 1k, but so what? As long as you keep temps in line you should be fine.
