Good thinking in this one, however, what about my design need to have one table over the other? I'm looking at 12' in length and 4' width with one level over the top of the other. How could I light the bottom and while mitigating the heat rising into the top of the other?

Big... but keep in mind, the intent is to have two veg tables, one over the top of the other.

What is everyone's experience for coverage using t-5 lighting? Im putting a veg room together that's two tier and want to use 10,000k sunblasters for 3 weeks of veg'ing. However as best as I can tell, a 4' T-5 only covers 4'x3"... if this is the case, I need to get 192 bulbs, ballasts and...

Awesome! Thanks for the input!

Yes, it's a new Big Operation... Thanks to Legalization (Finally!!) But yeah, that's the challenge. AC the lights = 1 fan, Filter & Exhaust the room = 1 fan, Replenish the exhausted air = 1 fan... For a total 3 fans for each room = about $3,000 or so I'd ranther not spend (i may be stretching...

Thanks Slip... sounds like good info. I'll have to think bout how this could work considering I have a room(s) that requires 3200 cfm of exhaust and am looking at a Vortex 14" fan to do this (2905 cfm rated).... So let me ask this question based on the graphic you posted and the design Im...

As part of the air balanacing of a room, is it necessary to use a HO Blower (such as a Vortex) to bring replacement air back into a room that is being exhausted through a HO Blower and Carbon Filter? Can a large oscillating fan with the appropriate CFM from on a filtered duct be used?

Bumping this forward.... don't want it to get lost without getting a cool opninon or two! (Pun Intended!)

Im looking to move into a brand new grow warehouse and am putting in place some serious lighting... (24 1000w's and 24 600w) and it's all new equipment. Having found this thread it looks like these Gavita's are cheaper than purchasing new ballasts (phantom), hoods (Raptor & Radiant) and bulbs...

Cool man, thanks! I figured I would be ok, but with so much information out there, the more you read the worse it all becomes!!! Here's something I'd like to get your opinion on... I want to build a veg "station", however I want it to be two tier. It's going to be "over/under" and be an...

Hey Scooby, in your design you have 9 plants per 1000k. What's been your experience with this ratio of 9:1? Im thinking 6 per 1000k and 4 per 600k.... Thoughts?

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

Great layout scooby, besides smart draw (expensive) could you recommend other 2D software? It looks like you have quite a bit of experience with such programs!

I'm gonna give it a shot but I would love to see what a pro like yourself comes up with. I do appreciate your help and I understand your situation. I travel for work so I get it! Im in Cal now actually, Ojai to be specific!

Thanks, I figure you must be busy so I'll take a shot at designing that space we discussed myself. Getting to d-day and I soon need to begin constructing my space.
