nice! I guess I am not too crazy to do 12 then
That is funny we are both going for 12 under a 600. we should follow each others grow. Ill post pics as I go if you like. I use the wood as a lid rather then the top that comes with the tote.. I like the nice clean look. I have pvc sheeting to line the top with but will get to it later. The wood also stops light and heat from getting to the reservoir. It is insulated under there. I have a chiller, the insulation helps it not run so often.
I'd like to keep in touch with u as well, especially if u switch to a 1000. I have been contemplating that as well as lining the tent with Orca film. That shit is amazing because of what it does to the light output. Its like a supercharger for your lights it seems. Try to find a side by side comparison. Let me know what you think of the film
I'm in this thread a bunch, so I'm around. My whole room is done in B&W 6mil poly. $75 gets me a 10' x 100' roll. The Orca is $150ish for a 4.5'x100' roll, less than half the amount for twice the price..I can't see it it being that much better to justify that much of a cost increase. When you start dealing with incremental improvements you need to look at the cost/return ratio, at least i do.
the oca is a pattended design and it does make a huge difference in the way it reflects light. You have to see it to believe it. Here is a link. I need to see if panda is the same but i dont think it is
Water & Wood... don't sound good mon!
The wood doesnt get wet and is painted underneath to repel moisture. It works great! I do have to cover the top but its not that important as it doesn't get wet. I have PVC sheeting used in showers. The setup is awesome for keeping the reservoir cooler. My chiller def runs less. The wood serves works very well. Much better then the lids that come with the totes. They are always very flimsy and start to cave under the weight of a full grown plant.
Cool! Sounds like you have it all ironed out. I probably would poly the top or paint it flat white... but im just another noob!
i def need to cover the top if i want it to last.
I appreciate the feedback. I have done this a few times already with no issues. I even thought about what you are suggesting and decided that I would take the chance and so far it has worked will no ill effects that I can see. The first time I didnt even paint it from underneath. I did so mainly to prevent mold. PS I dig the Jefferson quote! I think he is probably turning in his grave right now.
I dont see why not. It nmay take a bit longer but rotating out a constant crop can be done with any style of growing. I personally think hydro is more convenient but many will beg to differ. There are so many advantages to hydro.
What's the light coverage for your Area 51 LEDs? And how many led lights do you have? We need info like that so we can better help you with your question(s)?
With soil you can run whatever schedule you want. All you need is two rooms, veg and flower. You could harvest a plant everyday if you had enough plants. Run a cloner full-time so you always have fresh starts. Put a plant into veg everyday for 9-weeks. At the end of nine weeks take the first plant and put it into flower. Fill the empty veg space with a new plant. Rinse and repeat everyday. In 9 weeks your first plant will be done and you will harvest a new plant everyday for the rest of your fucking life! BAM! You're a fucking weed baron! Chicks will dig you! You can go to the strip club and tip with buds instead of bills! You'll get so many fucking lap dances your lap will be raw!
Good luck with your new venture!
