just wondering what you would do with the equipment i have or what optimal upgrades you would make im wanting to build my next room when my current grow is over i have some of my outdoor stuff brought indoor to finish (5gal buckets post holed in garden for easy romoval an case of shitty weather) her is the equipment list

1 sun system 1000 mh built in timer hood has no glass and small slot vents
1 sun system 600 hps no glass slot vents
1 sun system mh with full spec bulb (eye hotilux) built ion ballest needs its glass too
2 250 mh security lights converted to use with timers
5 cieling floro's 4 wide t8's
5-6 hangable (or mountable with fabrication) floro's t8's
3-4 hydro farm timers
1 portable a/c system (reguler house style portable not a hydro farm or pro type)
1 2x4 flood and drain table with 160gph active air pump (currently has the 400 mh over it ) rubbermade black resivour
1 2.5X2.5X3.5 plastic garage shelf converted to insulated reflective 8 cfl veg box
1 tray and humididome
1 500 gph quiet drive pump (pond pump from depot)
2 240gph quiet drive pump (pond pump from depot) used in dwc previous

alot of pvc and sprayers and rubbermaid ruffnecks and net pots (some for the aeroponic cloner build from high times and this site where i seen it before it was published)

bunch of 2.5 qrt dirt pots ,40lb bag of hydroton, 1 box fan 2 4" fans 1 12" and a 6" duct booster im planing on getting 2 16" wall mounts $34 at the grow store
no carbon odor sock yet,or ozone generotor im planning this purchase and using pine sol in buckets with a fan and odor eliminator stop skunk @17 bucks a jar
tds pen ,ph liquid fox fam nutes and left over tecnafloria and lots of ph down and air pumps/stones
co2 tank availble but no regulator, which is way im starting this book of questions to you.
i just got 2 8" air cooled hoods ,a 4x8 table 70 gal res misc tubeing
i want to eventully just get 2 1000hps ballest for these hoods and im going to get a vortex type inline to cool them
but i was going to use my 600hps and 1000mh over the 4X8 table on a homemade bracket mover untill i get them

i have a heated 25X25 unattached building to use and the current grow is ending 12 hours at a time!
i have some seperate locations to get clones from but not a ton, i have 6-7 strians of fem seeds stockd
i wanted to go sealed room running co2 hoping winter temps will be alot easier to control because i can set the heat to whatever

im open to any suggestions, before i start to build the room what would you do i have hundreds to use not thousands
i wish i could go automated i know i cant afford it i know i will need a ro system (200) i have well water but i dont use my softner my tds is 550 also i have a plastic 200 gallon farm style tnk and a 55 gallon plastic drum i saved just to use for something like this. i want to go flower and veg room walled of 1 entance veg room with clone rack and nuterint shelfs

hi, i work in a bodyshop as a painter lol. anyway i would section off you space into 3 sections. use your 4'floro's for your moms and clones in the smalest section 24 hr light. use the 250mh lights and some 4ft floros in middle size room for vegging. get them big in here. 18 hr light. then move them into bigest section to flower with your 1000mh and 600hps. 12 hr light.

i just framed up the flower room i didnt sheet it yet i will build the mother room right next to it tomorow but it is were my current room is so i have do dissassemble that room put the plants that are about finished (in dirt) in there corner for a time out with there lights (temporery) then i will build a clone shelf/rack in the mother rooom and also i will have my 2x4 flood and drain in this room. Im building the flower room with a double doors and recessed hinges leaving myself a foot around three sides of the table so i can rech everything. and the double doors are centerd on the long side of the table (8FT) so i can rele open it up and have a little space to work, also we braced the crap out of the table frame and made a nice lip for it to grab i will throw up pics soon.
