Flood table homemade growtent

Mr I Can Do That For Half
Ok well I have promised to show some new stuff I had in the workings so here is a little bit showing a basic 3x3 flood table in a diy convert hydrohut style grow tent.What I have here basically is my grow tent I made,3x3 table,20 gallon res, 1 150 gph pump,pvc table I built ,1 of my converted 4 tube t8 commercial florescent fixtures and then plants in 4x4 rockwool in 6 inch square pots with hydroton. The total cost for the entire shown setup was less then $165 usd.The pvc table I build from 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe and connectors.The table is an american hydro ponics table cost $50 with fittings.The light setup cost me $40 for the fixture, bulbs and cord.The pump was $10.The res was $3.The tent setup cost me $40 total with the material and frame I had to build.The unit was a particular storage type unit that was designed to use clamps to hold it to your cieling joist and hand there so I saw it bought it custom build a 3/4 inch pvc farme for it and then I use fusion plastic bonding spray on paint and did the inside white and the outside matte black. This made the basic design and then I built a quick stand leveled the table and hooked it up. Now I do have a co2 injection system on it not shown as I wont use it til another week. I also have 2 4 inch inline fans setup I removed for pictures.1 will send air out and 1 will take air in of course all timed against the co2 injections.There is a small oscalating fan on the floor moving co2 upward after it falls and another $5 clip on fan to blow on the plants circulating the air around them.This whole setup including the co2 fans and the hps light for later ran me about $275 including the rockwool, hydroton and pots after shopping around...This will be its first go around so we will see if it works well. The tent can actually accept a 4x4 table but its tight so I figure the 3x3 table was dirt cheap so why not use it.I have 12 plants in it was gonna do 16 but will see how this goes..Now some pictures that show the outside and some of the sweet purple and BB clones just going in..Yeah they llo little rough as Im nursing the BB as its the hardest plant on earth to clone..Ok will post shortly some reason server rejected some pictures..

well the little inline fans from like homedepot the 4 inch or 6 inch fan are fairly quiet to begin with but to deaden the sound I like to use the same sound mat you use in car stero setup to stop outside noise or rattles.It comes in sheets thats peel and stick on 1 side its kinda like a rubber product. I wrap the outside of the fan housing with it and then on the ducting I have usedbubble wrap over the ducting and it makes the air almost silent running.They also make heat duct wrap thats insulates ducting with insulation and then mettalic outter covering so it is moisture proof.

off topic I saw you refer a link to someone who had a room looking for kits and you gave them the faq fllod buckket setup...was there ever the last part of how to build the controller unit bucket? I have been working on a similar unit for a 28 bucket setup and found a place that will sell me the controller unit for $115 but I think it can be made even cheaper Im just not sure how to set it up using the floats and timers.

L.M.A.O.

why you had to say that fletch. you know he got satellites, now he about to come in here and start bitching man...

great...LOL!!!!

you must spend 5 grand this, 5 grand that

and guess what? my buddy who owns the store just told me i could get the whole setup multiflow system(12site starter, res, controller bucket and fittings, etc) for a discount @ $200 and he'll sell me an additional controller bucket for $50 bucks (for the system i had already start making)

i might just go buy and put it in storage....you cant beat that deal bro!!!

Fletch, thanks for posting this dude. I'm currently trying to figure out a good method for tent growing and this looks pretty good.

Can you link me the site you got that ebb/flow tray from? All the places I see want like $100 plus for them. :(
