First off props to RIU.com. I think we can all agree that we've taken away great deals of information and insight, which has prgressed us all further in our grows.
Alright now the fun part so let me give all u guys the low down, so me and my partner decided we were gonna run a vertical system due to the efficiency and the great yeilds ive seen come from them. (props to Heath Robinson on that one, guys the vertical master) We were starting from scratch no location, no system, nothing what so ever besides sum knowledge.
We picked up a 3 layer octagon system with 3 cool tubes u may have seen them in high times and bought 2 athena digital 600 ballast and borrowed a third lumatek digital 600. We also had to purchase a fan so we got a vortex 450 cfm high output fan to cool the bulbs and exhaust air. Luckily i had enough tubing and pumps lying around to get this operational (this beast requires 3 pumps!)
So once we found our location we established the garage was gonna be the best option but we were gonna have to build a room in there so build a room we did lol. The room we built is 7x7x10 because the octagon is 6x6 we need sum extra room to move around. We decided to use one wall of the garage for a wall in our room becasue it was already insulated and one less wall we would have to build. (less money to spend) So after a whole shit load of 2x4x10's, 8 sheets of drywall, 4 rolls of insulation, and 40x10 off panda plastic later we have our room. Sorry I didn't take many pics while we were hanging the insulation up and tacking up the panda plastic, but u can see one complete ring of our system and the panda plastic with insulation behind it. and sorry the pictures arent in order
Ill be back shortly with building our ring system....
