here is a room layout for the first flower room (not including exhaust/intake ventilation ducting, water lines, or circular fans which will all be mounted above or laid below the plant pot basin)

I will start with 1 1000W for a December Harvest (clones go in mid October)

Then I will add another 1000W for February/March Harvest (2000W total)

flower room is 12' 4" Long floor board to floor board

and the subwall will make it 7' wide 7' 6" tall, with its frame extending in two rectangles around both growing areas.

green represents plant pot basin area (6'x5')

the blue rectangles on the right hand side represent 2 window A/C units, and I will vent out the hot exhaust above them.

ok I don't really feel like explaining this layout as far as whats where, accept to say there will be 2 12" circulation fans on the back wall corners, and the cool air intake will be to the front..... hopefully you can read the text areas and you will get the picture...... I will at some point explain the reasoning behind each element of the set up..... if anyone really wants me too..... maybe I will just for future referrence.... who knows....... This is an example of how the height is broken down

if anyone has any comments or suggestions.... now would definitely be the time..... I will be setting this all up in the next three weeks, so I can do a dry run for about day or so before putting plants in there.

yeah the room is 18 feet tall.... part of why I am building the subwall.... to close it in a little bit (insulate for easier climate regulation)..... I will probably keep both these tables operating even after I get the 1000 sq ft (30 ft tall or so) wherehouse set up next summer :)..... I might plug in some CO2 after the first harvest :).... might... getting the clones here pretty soon :)

pics at a 3 weeks 1 day :)

pics are just before watering this morning

the plants will have used up Most of the available nutrients in the soil by my next watering, so they will get a little bit of Earth Juice grow on Wednesday.

Then when they are ready to be watered again I will transplant them into larger pots. And they won't need any nutes for two weeks after the transplant (so yay, I get to save the nutes :) ). The larger pots will be both taller and wider using almost all of the available space under the panel.

I am going to pick up 9 more regular light moguls and mougul split sockets so I can add 18 more CFL's to the panel.

I expect they will have outgrown the panel's capacity by the first week of October. I hope they have shown sex by then so they can be separated and put under 400W MH's and I can start cloning the mothers, and flowering the males for their pollen.

They have started branching out, so they really need those extra lumens........ hoping with the added CFL's I will get 15,000 lumens/square foot on the canopy, and 4,000-8,000 penetrating to the lower growth.

The panel is set 34" above the floor, and the larger pots are 12" tall, so they should be almost 2 feet when they go under the MH lights. I should hopefully be able to get 30 clones between all the mothers about a week after they go under the MH.

Clones should be rooted and 8-12 inches tall by the End of October, for the first flowering set. :)......

So:
Any opinions??

Oh yeah.... I removed the sproutless pots.... and there are two stragglers..... both are WC (widow Cindy) and I expect both will be females :)

In the pics where you can see the labels... it is same as always..... from L to R Twilight, Mauii Skunk, Widow Cindy, Chemo Cindy

Mauii Skunk and both WC and CC are my favorites so far :)......

I transplanted the Mauii Skunk yesterday into 5 gal. pots...... Everything else ran out of available nutrients so I gave them a light feeding (1/2 strength) of Earth Juice grow :). They will hold until I get more soil to transplant the rest tomorrow. I also got 6 more CFL split mogouls to put up 12 more CFL's on that fluorescent panel. 3 more will go in after that (so 6 more CFL's) which is a total of 18 more CFL's adding 28,800 to the 28,800 lumens that are already being provided :), giving me 57,600 constan lumens on that 3'x4'x3' area...... spread out so it is evenly dispursed at approximately 4800 lumens per square ft one foot away from the actual lights themselves (meaning about 4000 lumens will be penetrating to the lower growth). and the canopy will be receiving approximately 9,000 lumens per sq ft (4 inches away from lights). Each plant is approaching 18 inches tall.... each plant has branches with at least 2 nodes on them...... they are a week or two away from showing sex and being ready to clone and separate. I will basically be increasing lumen exposure as they get older :). Spectrum is blue dominant at 3200-3500 plus a couple at about 4800-5200 (kelvin). I will update with pics once they have been transplanted, :)

They really need for me to get that HID on them!

Its the PAR that's important, lumens are just for show! :razz:
