YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I am NOT suggesting anyone go out and buy one of these @ $5K...

BUT I know you can hire a welder to build the structure...

MAYBE one hour's labor...

True Aluminum stock is not cheap... neither is steel (heavy!)

But the sheer number of clones per light shoots the gram per watt through the roof...

I am sure you guys all know https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html ...

Heath got 2.1 g/w out of a single 600HPS, no air cooling... 1 continuous pump... 86 lollies...

This thing holds 192...

It could easily be made to 96 lollies and 1x 600 or 192 and 2x 600...

Like I said.. at 5 grand.. it's not worth it...

What I am trying to illustrate is that the big g/w numbers come with big numbers of zero veg lollies...

ok... enough gypsy for a bit....

I just like to grow big plants and

I just like to grow big plants and

Yeah... that system is not for big plants... it's for lots of little ones...

 

[theloadeddragon]

SOG is ok..... I will do some more before my growing career is over (NEVER!)

here's a little imagination pictures for bugs and gypsy (and of course the rest of yall)







the red paint looking shit is not actually red paint nor is it pink (you assholes). Its Redgard.... its a waterproofing membrane i did it so i can have some relief if i have a leak





water leak trials. holds 25 gallons if needed to. (yes i painted over the redgard with black...im anal about that shit....didnt match )






drawer slides that attaches to the wood tray that holds the flood tables allowing me to pull out when maintenance time comes, pruning, etc etc



last but not least...

Didn't you start this project alittle while back? How is it all working for you?

 

[LoudBlunts]

Yes i did brother, but money troubles set me way back...i should be on track to open the cab back up in the fall/winter time which is slowly approaching


so i just been growing in the tent.

i've decided instead of me running 2 ballast like last time when i did have a cab (it was prebuilt and collapsed)

im just gonna buy one of these

wire one of my ballast to it and have it power 2 different reflectors (one in the tent and one in the cab) every 12 hours

so essentially the ballast will run 24/7 switching 12 on and off to each reflector

and i will put the cab's ballast in storage for backup if my ballast fails

 

[trouble9039]

Good call! I thought I remember'd seeing you build that, what went wrong?

 

[LoudBlunts]

both ballast are 1000watters with hortilux super blue dual arc bulbs

the tent's reflector is a cool star plus.

the reflector for the cab is a Super Sun 2. im trying something different with the cab as I can control temps better in the tent for some reason (the cab is fully insulated). Im going with a Super Sun 2 reflector and a Sun shield for the reflector as well as an icebox (which i have already). Im going to need something like an a/c in my cab to control that beasty 1000watts and air cooling just doesnt cut it in a 2x4 space. The icebox is the smallest 'a/c' with additional benefits.

when i get my money right and get all the kinks out, the tent will eventually be on an icebox as well and i will put my window shaker a/c in storage as i blv my iceboxes and 1.5hp chiller will STILL be more efficient and less power useage than a window a/c...while still allowing me more room for expansion if i so feel like it

 

[LoudBlunts]

Good call! I thought I remember'd seeing you build that, what went wrong?

no monies!!!!!

lol i need to get one of those money trees in my garden or something so i can start growing some money...lol

 

[LoudBlunts]

and if you are referring to my older cab.....

what went wrong?

that prebuilt POS collapsed on me. from that point on (2-3 years ago) i vowed to never buy prebuilt furniture again.

fake ass wood being used to built storage cabinets and shit

UGH!!!

 

[trouble9039]

I hear you there! I may very well have to pull the plug on mine, I may not have A job at the end of the week!!! I am trying not to have it come to that..

 

[trouble9039]

that blow's!

 

[LoudBlunts]

hell yea.


sorry to hear about your job man.....that may mean you need to step up production

 

[GypsyBush]

that blow's!

I foresee a beautiful SOG garden in your near future...

​

 

[LoudBlunts]

LOL @ gypsy!!!

 

[LoudBlunts]

what do you guys think about next gen ballast?

[GypsyBush]

Looks fancy..

I like the "multi outlets"... mh/hps... 110v/220v...

Yeah I like it...

But a bit pricey ..eh?!?!?!

But I must say I LIKE THE DUAL WATTAGE 400w/600w...

There's plenty of times when a 400 is enough to start..

 

[LoudBlunts]

hell yea its pricey!!!


they are supposed to be 'new'


i like the small form factor

but fucking pricey!!!!!

 

[LoudBlunts]

she just dont wanna listen..... i tried to tell her to stay away from the light!!! i even moved it just about all the way up. she's the biggest girl



no burn, no nada







looks like imma have to drop the aero system itself!!!!!

 

[grandpabear3]

god damn.....i love aero. just love it. i beat my bitches with wads of duct tape filled with white fly eggs when they dont listen.

just a thought!
