Hello all! I'm about start my first grow.
The clones are in domes under their own T5 bars, and a sharing a tent with a 600w air cooled MH tending to their mothers.
(pics will be posted)
When the clones are rooted in a few days, it's on!
Very excited and hope I can produce some decent medication.
Here is a preliminary pic of my aero build to give an idea of what I'm working with.
I will have a 6 site areoponics system.
3.5" net pots will be filled with hydroton holding rockwool rooted clones.
I haven't made a decision on strain yet. Might go for a combo. I will have a choice of Blue Dream, Chemdog, Lemon Haze, and AK47 clones. I'll have pics of the clones once they're rooted and ready.
I set up a drain to recycle separate reservoir with a 396gPH submersible pump feeding a 17 sprayer pvc manifold with 360 degree coverage on each site. The reservoir will have with 5 airstones from two aquarium air pumps and another 396gph sub pump "turning" the res solution to help keep the nute solution cool and EXTREMELY aerated.
Do I need a cycle timer? 1 on / 4 off type spray. I'm really leaning towards a 24/7 feed? Suggestions?
I will have this 27" x 19" tote in between a 24" space created from 2 2' x 4' flood tables each centered under their own 1000w switchable HPS/MH light.
I am sharing a collective garden space.
Will I get enough light in between the 2 1000w for my canopy?
I have a small 150w SunSystems HPS. Should I put that in between the 2 1000w for flowering?
I figure it can't hurt, or might even make a huge difference? Not worth it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Also, since I plan on using an external res; to cut down on the cost of nutes, can I use the nute solution in one of the flood and drain tables pumping to my aero roots and draining back to their res?
We'll all be running the same light sched. 1 week veg on MH. 1 week flowering with MH. HPS flowering till ripe.
The grow room itself has a 10" fan pulling air through a LARGE carbon filter to exhast.
A 6" fan pulls external air and cools both glass enclosed hoods inline to exhaust.
There are 3 10" oscillating fans directed at canopy and under canopy positions.
RO water filtration feeds the reservoirs with float valves and an installed quick drain to waste line for simple changes.
The entire area is lined with panda film.
AC IN / in the CENTER of the room.
Industrial grade timers.
240V circuit running 2-1000w digital switchable ballasts.
Top end spectrum HPS and MH bulbs.
Any help will be appreciated or comments?
Thanks ALL!!!
Look out for the onslaught of pics!
