Hey your grow looks really good. I have made a business of designing grow rooms and always appreciate when someone puts effort into their op. A bit of advice that is often overlooked is that every curve in your ducting drastically cuts down on the amount of air being moved. By the time you have four 90's in line of ducting you are getting around 0% efficiency. Could be your reason for running hot believe it or not.

good lookin out. i unfortunately cant add anymore inline fans because the air being pulled from outside gets cold as fuck in the winter time. it is actually cool enough to keep all the glass just warm at the touch even on the 4th bulb.. the problem i have is the first hood it goes to, the air is so cold that it builds up with condensation and pisses water down between the cracks in the glass and bubbles up with water on the glass, its a huge mess. so i have actually been looking into losing the glass once winter time hits, i was thinking about the adjusta wings, or the parabolics with verticle bulbs.

Have you considered just pulling air from the room through your lights and blowing it outside? That is how I do it.

Been lookin at bare bulbs, and because of the set up, heat rises up relatively Fast an even better if you throw a fan under it directed up. And supposedly you need less amount of ac to run bare bulbs vertically then you would with hoods. Because the bulb radiates heat causing more surface heat with the hoods. And it disapates not as efficiently.. I'll be doing a trial run soon with 2x1000 barebulb vertically with the stadium. I'll keep ya posted. Btw I tried inboxin ya, it wouldn't go threw thou. Idk why.

That's good to know the bare verticle run cooler I'll have to look into that. I just don't like the idea of having to keep the girls away from every bulb, I would have to build a bigger box to pull off verticles I think. I'm going to help my buddy build a stadium setup like your doing, he's rocking 2k watts as well. If he kills it I might be making the switch haha. I will clean up my inbox maybe it was full

There's a link on the indoor forum of someone Doing the method I was talkin about. Instead of a long explanation I'll try to find the link. I have another 2x1000 incase it goes well, I'm just starting with 2 to see how it pans out. But if it does what rveryoe says then I'll be doing 4x1000 for sure. Probably around 400 Plizzys.

The plants would finish around 16-20 inches so it'll keep them super small. Main tops only. Thats why it's higher numbers. Since the stadium is set up pretty unique it's easy to hand water each one. Probably take about an hour, max 2.

im calling bs on that one. even with the easy access i bet it takes you 3-4 hours to water those hos. it gets overwhelming having that many. my second run woulda been tits if i knew what i was doing.. i did about half the number your talking about and hand watered everyday cause they were in small pots. such a bitch. if you hit one out of the park and decide to stick with that style you should setup a drip system or something.

Well right now, my 2 gal pots need up to 4 1/2 cups of water. I have a cup measured to 1 1/2 cups. In the 1.25 gal containers they only need 1 cup full versus the other pots need 3 cups. So with the 21 pot site I'm actually water the same amount as a 63 pot site in roughly the same time. Only difference is where I'm pouring the water.

Man you got it going on. i love this thread. im running 5200 watts right now in a 12x16 room with 49 purple kush and its crammed. they've been in veg for 4 weeks and was gonna flip them this weekend. I wanna wait a little longer cause they are gonna be done almost to the day my wife is due with our second son. But maybe i will just throw the five or so smaller ones out and free up some space and a wait a week or so.

or you can plant them outside in the woods or something and forget about them....then stroll on by around sept/oct and check em out. You might be surprised and find no animals or fungus got to em. I threw out a buleberry gum and a ...um shit i forget the other. but i should have planted em outside.

dosent quite work like that, to grow anything decent outdoors you either need a container or to dig a big ass hole and fill it with good medium if you want anything worth smoking otherwise the plant is just going to become a scraggly weed that isnt worth smoking

I Also threw out a blueberry gum and something else before, if i planted them i bet they would grow. but those were in good indoor soil in 3 1/2 gal pots with a great root system
