Yeah there is definitely going to be compromise with movement but it’s worth the hard work when you have amazing smoke at the end of the day. I considered coco but 1000 individual drip emitters and all that coco to dispose of would be a pita. I’m also considering building a custom water...

Yeah I’ll do that test good call. Just realised my all my netpots are 4 inches so I’d need to have 9 per sqft to fill the trays with pebbles. Wonder if 9 per sqft would be too dense. Otherwise I’ll have to go out and buy 520 new pots too

Yeah that’s the main reason I don’t want my res below the tray. It would be so shallow that I’d have to refill it constantly. I’d be looking at using a tall barrel . I would have around 130 sqft of tray that I could fit in there. Based on your 5 gal per sq ft that would be a 650 gal res which...

I currently use a dwc/nft combo type setup and I just feel it uses way too much water and it’s hard to insulate the water from ambient temps in each individual bucket. I can insulate a 500l barrel to completely separate it from the room air. And put a cooling tube in it for flood and drain and...

I’ll get over there after I figure out this grow system issue first then. How does res size work for flood and drain? At first I worked out my tray size and thought i was screwed as that would be over 2000l but I guess the clay balls take up a lot of space inside the tray? Is there a rule of...

I’m going to look into building my own with huge flood trays I think that’s the only way I will be able to use flood and drain with this low profile. If I switch to strip lights how many strips do you reckon I should use per m2 then? And you say 40w/sqft max? I’d probably make my own...

In regards to the flood and drain you recommend... I’ve just seen the IWS system. That looks possible? The pots are literally only an inch or so off the floor?

I’ve also considered shelving with horizontal plants on shelves in the middle 2m I could have a max height of 1.4m so possibly 2 tables one on floor and one above. But I’d still need them to be moveable

Right im home now. This is what I’m working with. A side profile of the room. I’d like to cram the entire room with plants atleast 4 per sqft. This is just one section I have an extension off the other side which is used for a clone room/ mother room. To optimise the space I originally...

What’s your opinion on those wick systems where water flows to a tray with a float valve and hydro ton wicks it up?

Unfortunately don’t have that one anymore. On my normal grows though when I harvest I can have a 21g bud only 8 inches long. Don’t know if that’s a fair comparison but those bigger plants have more than one cola. If I can get a 21g bud on 8 inches of stem I hope I can replicate that in a sog

Was just a test small grow can’t really use the numbers for any realistic data. But I had 4 per sqft was got 19g per avg

Why 8 inch clones? If I flower a 3 inch clone straight away I end up with a 12 inch bud. Then you don’t have to waste time lollypopping

I’ve read that dtw can waste very little if you don’t water to run off - that not true?

Could you see a dtw working in a similar way? I need to make use of the sloped areas of the attic to make the most of the space I can have for plants so a res on the floor isn’t really an option unfortunately.

I’ve never had any light bleaching so far at 1500ppfd but can’t rule out maybe less yield due to stress as I have no comparison. Definitely plan on scrapping and redesigning the whole setup as I don’t like the way vertical plants grow personally and I can get a larger footprint by going sog and...

I’m out atm so struggling to read replies properly and reply with details information. Would love to pick your brains with some design ideas when I get back

Even with co2 at 1500? I remember reading about optimal being 1500 ppfd and 1500 co2 in a study?

I’ll probably get away with less wats when running a flat canopy and a sog though
