Ok so im currently finishing up a cfl shower grow that does NOT produce the kind of buds i want although i dont have a great hang on the dynagro nutes i was using it was such a cramped and confined space sitting on your ass infront of the toilet is for those late night beer drinking days not after a hard day at work.
so i have changed sites the cab is up for the most partim waiting on the light a 150 w hps from htgsupply.
I plan to use a ebb and flow design i have worked out it seems like it would make things easier. i borrowed ideas from multiple places and added the parts i like i hope it works out ok. the biggest part that is different than a standard ebb and flow table is the trays dont have a standard drain valve. they use an overflow system. this seems to me like a easy way to keep water off the bedroom floor lol.
how it works is there are 3 fill valves. 1 to each tray and 1 that makes a big u turn back into the rez. the top of the u turn portion gauges the fill level in the trays once it turns the u turn part it drains back into the rez keeping both trays at proper level till pump shuts off and they drain back into the rez from the fill valves. this is my theory anyhow i got the idea from this build.

ive never used a 150 hps before so i dont have ventilation down pat yet but im hoping a slimline two blade window fan will move enough air i seen it used to cool a 368 w cfl grow here on RIU.org
so i hope it will pull enough to cool this one
