Thinking of running a setup similar to what is in the picture.
The 5x5 would actually be a stacked setup with the clones/mothers up top and the veg taking place downstairs (both sections will be under T5s). The bottom section would be 4' tall which would leave 3' for the Mothers and clones.
The 4x8 would be the flowering chamber with two 4x4 trays. The goal would be to get the harvests at alternating times with 8-10 week flower times. (so one tray would be harvested every 4-5 weeks). Flowering would be ran under 2 1000Ws or 2-4 600W HIDs.
My questions for RIU are pretty simple:
1. What do you think of the setup at first glance and what would you change? I understand it's going to be a little tight on the left side of the flowering chamber with the wall right there and it's going to be kind of a pain to get around the right side of either room but I'm trying to make the best with what I got.
2. Do you think the stacked setup for the clone/mother and veg sections will be able to keep up with the alternating schedule of the flower room? I'm a little worried about having enough Mothers to keep up with the supply of clones. I figure there will be enough vertical room to veg to ~2 feet tall before switching to flowering and ultimately ending up with ~4 foot plants.
3. Do you think I should run the 2 1000W lights, 2 600W lights or 4 600W lights? If you chose the third option should I get dual-light reflectors or go with 4 smaller reflectors? I'm open to other suggestions as well or any other advice on this.
Oh and the program I used for the shitty little picture is called Sweet Home 3D lol. I figure somebody is probably going to ask about that haha.
