Its all good! I was able to get myself a copy. It's the best I've been able to find so far.

To Scooby, smart as hell and humble, yea buddy! Scooby, I will be building new grow room, 24'x 10' x 6.5h. Thinking of dwc or several titan controls flo n gro bucket systems. Would feel much better with input from someone with your obvious experience. Longtime outside grower, currently growing in accelerated technologies ultimate XL combo cabinets. Love to hear your opinion on equipment and arrangement if you have the time.

WOW, nice thread. Wondering if there is anyway I could get a little help thrown my way?? I want to put a perpetual grow room in my attic. The space I have layed out for it is 8'x8'. The attic is total open from end to end. Center ridge height is right at 7'. The 8'x8' area I layed out is slighting off center due to heater runner running down attic. I know I am going to have to build me 4 walls and insulate the hell out of it, along with insulating the roof rafters real good. I would like to have a separate veg area, flower area and a place to start seedlings or clones. I have a 276W CFL hood, a 574W CFL hood and a 400W HPS mag. ballast and socket. Just got a good profit sharing bonus check and I want to do this room up proper. Any help or ideas on this guys?? Thanx in advance and as always +reps for the good answers!!!

Hey Cobrago, thanks for stopping by and the compliments. more than happy to help. Got any specific questions? I'm in the middle of a holiday week here in Costa Rica but I'll put together a design for you as soon as possible. Seems like you have plenty of space but you have some height restrictions. In your case I would use 600w lights to give you a little more room to grow the plants taller. 1000w lights need 18-24" from the plant canopy while 600w lights are 8-12" on average. Gives you another foot in plant height. Another suggestion would be to just stick with one grow method for now. Plants react different in different methods and having both DWC and Ebb and Flow buckets means twice as much work and twice as much nutrient mixings cause they will use different ratios. Give me a little more info on how many plants you wanna do, how many lights, how many plants per light, do you want separate veg, flower, drying rooms, etc... I'll mock something up for you.

i'm no good with CFL grows but I would think that you could just build out a small cabinet in the 8x8 space and make that your veg/clone room. veg and clone are on the same light cycle and temperature controls and based on the size you wouldn't need much room anyway. just my opinion though. you are only growing with a 400w light so it's not like you'll have to veg or flower 40 plants.

I appreciate your help Snoopy. Would like to grow about 40 plants in veg with a separate flower room. I am open to suggestion on different types of systems, just considering the flo n gro for bigger plants. But hey man, don't want to occupy your holiday, have plenty time to get room started.

Scooby , sorry bout that. Will be able to buy whatever you recommend.work hard for a long time, now want to stay busy doing what pleases me, and that's gardening. Looking forward to what you might create. Thanks again.

[FONT=&amp]Hi Scooby and everyone else. I've been trolling for a while now and think I'm starting to get the hang of this. I would like you’re help in figuring out my setup. I want to get a pattern together that will allow me to have plants at different stages of development a month or two months apart.[/FONT]

I have a $2500 budget

[FONT=&amp]I have a spare bedroom I will use as a grow room dimensions 144x96x96. The room has 2 doors a window and hardwood floors. The window will be covered and used for ventilation. One door will be sealed. I will erect a tent to contain my environment. [/FONT]

Tent: 600D Reflective Mylar Hydroponic Plant Grow Room Tent 118x60x79 Large Window Hut

Strain: I bought a total of 5 strains all feminized. Reserva Privada Sour Kush AKA Headband, Reserva Privada OG Kush #18, Delicious Seeds Cotton Candy, Iced Grapefruit, Eva Seeds Jamaican Dream

Growing style: RDWC Waterfarm 8 pack with the recirculating kit and the mods suggested by the grasscity mod thread.

Methods: I am interested in Super Cropping, and SCROG

Medium: Hydroton after paper towel germination

Lights: I don’t know what type of light setup to get. At my local grow shop I was advised to get 2x1000w. That seems bigger then most people’s setup. Why? Isnt more light better? Or is it because of energy consumption.

Ballasts:Solis-Tek MATRIX 1000W MH/HPS Dimmable LCD Remote Control Ballast w/ built-in Timer

Nutes: I Don’t Know
Additivies: I Don’t Know, drip clean
Distilled Water

Ventilation Tube: Dundas Jafine AF625ULPZW Aluminum Foil UL Listed and Marked Duct, 6-Inches by 25-Feet

Fan-8" HO HIGH OUTPUT EXHAUST FAN 8 INCH 737 CFM

Carbon Air Filter-Can 100 840 CFM
Air Pump and 8x air stones
Light Timer
PPM/PH Monitor
Thermometer

What am I missing? Any suggestions?

1000s were recomended for light penetration. a single 1000 watt light has a 5x5 light footprint max or 25 sq ft. two will fit your tent perfectly. also you will need 2 timers. one per ballast if you are running 110v. the amperage draw will murder you if you try to put the two together on one outlet or circuit. you may need to consider how you will power the lights and equipment first. 2 1000 watt lights are pushing at least 18 amps together. more than a single bedroom can sustain. you may be running extension cords to ur grow. think power and dont always trust the hydro store. they are out for money remember.

also depending on where you live and if summers get hot id consider an ac or window shaker.

and yes more light is better. but consider this. it costs an average of 80-140 bucks to power a single thousand on 12/12 per month. take power costs into consideration. so do the calculations on your power bill to see what you will pay. they will give you a set amount for whichever tier your in. ruffly 8-30 cents per kw hour. or ruffly 8-30 cents per 1000 watts per hour. also this is to be taking into consideration for all the electronics. including air pumps water pumps circulation fans and exhaust fans.

Thanks wheels. Makes sense. In a residential building how much is this a point of concern for detection by police? Should I aim for smaller lights say 2x600w?

Hey Scooby, you make it back from Costa Rico or they kidnapped you and forcing you to design grow rooms there? Need you and Phillip to help and share your expertise! I need ideas from you guys on what hydro system to use, leaning toward titan flo n gro buckets, and the design for 24 x 10 x 6.5h grow room. Want to vent on 24ft. sides so nothing vented on outside of barn. There is only one 10ft. side that is on outside, other three sides are on inside of barn structure. Let me know if you have ideas you would like to share. Thanks.

hey bud, I am phillip. they banned me for a while and then let me come back but wouldn't give me my old account back so I had to create this one. still in central america most of the time. I live and work here. mostly costa rica. couple questions...that whole space for flower or you want separate rooms for flower and veg? how many lights? any chance you can make higher ceilings? what other equipment will you have in the rooms? will you be venting the rooms or keeping them sealed? how many plants per light? with 6' ceiling you are gonna need some short plants. have you ever grown before? if not then I would start in soil. just my opinion. let me know. glad to help.

Hey Phillip, glad you are back! I would prefer flower and veg rooms, maintain around 40-50 plants in veg with # lights that would require, all equipment needed for growing, sealed if possible, max. # plants per light, growing experience all outside, currently growing in Accelerated Technologies Stanley and Brian XL combo cabinets, hydroton, co2 boost buckets, water chiller, etc.. yea, plants would have to be short, read a thread in this site called mainlining, its was unbelievable, so probably go with that to keep short. Not completely opposed to soil but would prefer hydro. So, that's about it. Think you can do anything with this? I really appreciate your help Phillip.

I was looking for some advice. I just got a new space and am setting up a hydro drip system with between 12 and 18 1000W HPS for flower. I have other space for veg and clones. I would really appreciate if someone has some idea on what would be the best possible set up in this room. Thanks for the help!

I'm gonna be honest with you guys. My desk looks like a tornado hit it. Working on 2 new constructions and a huge remodel to one of my homes. Spending about 16 hours a day on the phone and internet. I'll try and help as best I can but right now I am swamped with work, fishing, and finding a day a week to get away from the computer. Sorry.

Not a problem Scooby, you take care of business and yourself, hey man this stuff can wait. I can be cleaning out my space and shoring up outside walls, etc.. let's us know what's going on with ya, catch some fish, and we can do something casual later mate. Pace yourself, you are too valuable an asset to burn out and lose. Talk to you soon, cobragro.

Cause you were so kind. LOL. This is what I threw together right now. Would need more info to really lay it out for you but this way you have plenty of room for extra equipment in each room and if you need to vent the rooms the 24' walls are available. Plus it gives you room to work in the flower room. Keeping the plants short usually means wider; this way you can get to all your plants.

Awesome Scooby, really appreciate you taking the time to help. I will start setting this up. The room is heavily wire as I originally planed to use as a workshop, but I will probably have to add more circuits to handle the hids. Will have to get a book because my electrical, carpentry, etc., skills are minimal at best. Hey, thanks again, take care of yourself and we will talk whenever you are ready. Later Scooby.
