You might have something here though...They are about $10 cheaper on the ballasts I want, so I'll have to see what the total is with shipping, and see what Black Friday brings. Thanks, I never heard of them before and they didn't come up on any of my searches.

@tyler.durden Can you give me the thread again about flood & drain here...I think it was you & I can't find it. I started reading up on it and it seems pretty much perfect, except for the possibility of flooding more than your plants!! Seems like there shouldn't be too much cost to setting up a few tables. And really, by using pond liner material, you could make any size tables you want, it would seem.

I’ve been looking at the 750w de’s for my 3x3m room. I went old school this last grow just used 6 600w hps magnetic ballast
My question is do you think I need 6 750w for that space or would 4 1000w de’s be better for a 15 x 15ft space

Get a Harvest Every 2 Weeks
This style of op is known as 'Sea of Green' or SoG. You can build this op in any scale you like, from a single mother and just one plant put in to the flowering area every two weeks up to as big as your needs require. The idea is to grow only the top cola of a naturally growing plant with...

I've got thick pond liner covering my entire grow room floor. It has saved my ass a couple of times...

From my experience, it depends on ceiling height.
When I made the switch to 1000w DE fixtures, I instantly was blown away with the numbers I was getting. That was in my setups that had taller ceilings. I was having problems trying to get the yields I wanted from double ended fixtures in a few different rooms I had with 8’ ceilings though. Tried it all. Turning down the ballasts(on commercial fixture like the gavita)with the 1000w bulb over a smaller area. Totally supposed to work great. Yup lol.
Which led me to detaching the Phantom ballasts and running them remotely with a regular size hood and using the new 630w cmh bulbs. That’s when I ditched that grow pad and used those lights for veg at my main house up until the fire got them lol.
But well before the fire, i seen those 750w De bulbs and got me thinking. So since I was gonna drive down to my buddies house in Arizona and completely rebuild his 8’ ceiling rooms, might as well experiment on him. Was an awesome experiment. Have a few different friends rocking that setup, all of them have been growing for a long time and all of them are blown away.
So anyways, in smaller setups I like to light up about 25 sqft per 1000w DE, if I have the height, and around 16sqft with 750w DE. If in a larger room, and especially when lighting up the whole room which is the most ideal, the lights can be spaced just a little bit further apart.

I'm running six 600 watt HPS in an 8' x 12' room...well actually 2 of those are 600 watt DE's currently, so a 4' x 4' area for each light, and depending on temps I sometimes run 1000 watt SE bulbs.

I had a few red’s when I wrote that it’s a 10’ x 10’ area, my conversion from metre’s to feet wasn’t very accurate lol

OK, good....My metric isn't great, but I originally thought 10' x 10' when you said 3x3 meters....and I been smoking some strong shit the past 2 days so my mind is still mushy. Yeah I'm looking forward to trying the 750 wat DE's, and getting some better ballasts.
I just pulled a 6 pound turkey breast out of the freezer for tomorrow, which I know should have happened days ago. It's in the sink soaking in cold water. If I disappear, you'll know it was food poisoning, lol.

Still figuring out the megacrop 2 part, I’m really far behind, like a whole cycle, should be wedding cake in here now, I was using the one part and they sent me a different one part that was all powder and it really fucked up the garden I had to clone pissed off moms and make new ones it was a nightmare, killed my whole micro biome so I had to recolonize my shit and if you have a fish tank you know that takes time. Anyway, this plant looks decent

Unfortunately all the pics have been deleted from this thread and it's a mighty dry read/confusing with measurements, etc. But I have bene doing research and looking at the pros and cons, as well as modular type with 3-5 gallon buckets or the table style with trays.
Seems like one big difference is you could grow larger plants with the bucket style, right on the floor. The trays seem easier, and I like that you can move the plants, turn them, etc....something I always do with my soil plants.
Is the idea with Al B Fucts grow a real short veg time? How long are you vegging for Tyler? What size & type pots?
Yeah the one thing that scares me is all that water...The pond liner on floor is almost a must!! And plastic trays are expensive....damned!!

Here's a pic of the new fans. I didn't get the black ones 'cause they went out of stock after I ordered. these are the same wattage. I have two more on the other side of the room.

View of the grow room when I first open the door. There's another tray on the left, and a mom tent to the right, as well as a bud rack behind the door. It's crowded in there. So glad to have that lighting issue fixed and that I get a break from plant shit of a while -
Got 2 cloners going because I'm planting 8 new moms (the big ones in cups on the floor), and they won't be able to give enough cuts for a while, so I need to make enough clones to last about a month or so...
