So I decided to take the racks apart and most likely use them to build my new designs. lol. I came up with this.

Right now it has a 48 in diameter and its 8" wide due to me not knowing what i am going to be going with yet for piping.

Thinking of either 3 or 4 lvls and 16 plants per lvl and a 1k hps in the middle.

For supporting the levels I have came up with using the legs from my shelves I will make four corner's and use 1/2 osb and make gussets with a 2x3 in the middle on the 45 going down. This way the 3/4 osb will hold it all racked and I will just screw down into the 2x3. The 2x3 will be on a 45 from the bottom of the 3/4 to the 2x3 post.

IMO, a 1000k light will be way too close to your plants with that setup.
It would be nice to be at least 16" away so your trichs don't burn up.

just my 02 bro

Ill actually have18-19 in. I'm actually at 16" now with it at 8" but I think I am going to just go with 4" no matter what. No matter what pipe diameter I use at 4" wide it will be enough to be more than half of what ever diameter pipe I use.

I will be going with a very big exhaust fan as well. I'm making sure they get hammered with light. No more F*ing around. Just haven't worked this week because of the snow so I can't go spending money I don't have. It's not needed at the moment so it got put on hold. Work this week so I should get some more materials anyway.

Plus right now I have a 4in fan taking in outside cold air into that 4 foot tent. So in all I would have a fan blowing straight up, an extraction fan at the top, and a intake on the bottom either outside cold air or my a/c will be vented in for summer time.

I am not running a hood anymore on my xxxl and my plant is pretty close to it and I still have my temps at 75 right now.
