Up to your old tricks.......you got quite the setups ! What's the issue with wood floors? Worried about water damage? Can you imagine working out of tents, that's got to be a pain in the ass, but I realize is necessary for some people. It's a great passion you have for the " bush" !

Oh there will be water dmg, name of the game, no matter the flooring or grow space...beggers cant be choosers with an attic grow

I think people would feel better abiut my wood if they made the choice to use it...

I could buy 15-30 tents and be mr. cool guy but thats a lot of zippers and i have a zipper fear

We did a few layers of polyurinthane primer and paint and sanded down and sealed all the seems with an floor sealant for wood.

Its not picture perfect and pretty like a plastic tent but it will allow the room to grow biomass

Realistic thinking about the water. Had a real good run goin like three years nothing more than a small spill. Then a pressure regulator snapped from being overtightened (my bad) and of course if it's gonna fail it will while the pump is on. Lol whoops thems the breaks

The first leak we had was in the orbit 3/4in solenoid, O-ring in the turn valve wasnt lubricated enough and because we are hand watering we've been haveing to manually open it alot.

Easy fix was just some silicon grease and only leaked a few times easy fix with a vaccume and an attentive crew

I should of known better. You always seem to be " on the stick". In a house I owned a long time ago , before having 2 kids , I had the entire basement and two bedrooms all set up. It's great having tons of grow space. If ya ever catch a movie, check out " "The Gentlemen" . Outrageous secret underground growing facilities....great cast , lots of action , great flick.

Those racks are awesome. I've noticed retail businesses use them too. Do you know where a guy can get one?

we bought ours from Uline and then painted them, the inserts are botanicare and specifically designed for this rack system. sad face though cuase when grodan switched to new and improved blocks they made them bigger and the racks now dont hold as many units but oh well, just lower plant counts. these plants that are in them got uppoted on the 6th, so less then 3 weeks

I like how the trays overhang. I haven't tried the new and improved blocks yet. What size and how much bigger are they?
