3,5 meters x 2 meters vertical slab room grow

in theory, it would be nearly impossible to screw this up.

I would be careful, i see you have ~6-7 'additives'. Not too familiar with AN's additives, but with ALL that, you wanna check your pH and ppm often.

The additives goes in every 7 day, when the nutrient solution get changed.
Check this nutrient calculator
And set it with Sensi 2part, and Expert Grower Level...

yeah, that Advanced Nutrients calculator rocks, especially when you're first starting out.

It's really a bit of a no brainer. I don't know why more people don't use it. I mean, it's not like you need to use it forever. I like to switch things up, use a little bit of this and a little less of that.

But when you're starting out, there's nothing wrong with just following instructions from the pros, you know.............

good luck man - any pics coming up?

It's starting to get close to the start of the system now...

Some pic's of the "grandma" and some moms (some new moms in the left corner)

We are using the two old rainforest systems for the moms(12 moms)

Other pic with some equipment.

Little update...
-The second Rainforest system started and some more mothers made.
-Light mover mounted.
-1x600HPS and 1x600MH hung temporary horizontal for the mothers.

The grandma stands in the back...

what are you planning to do with all the run off from those slabs? i thought of doing somthin real similar but coulnt figure a good way to recerculate the water,

I would use a rain gutter.
And recirculate the water to two 60 liter containers.
The containers are connected with 25mm. PVC tube to get a even level in them.
In each container it would be a pump, so I get even pressure all around the feed pipe...

Some slabs mounted...
Dropped the trays, and went for 1.5" velcro tape mounted on the horizontal beams with screws.

subbed for this one, interested to see it in full swing, +rep for the idea as well

That rockwool is going to hold a shit load of salt especially at the bottoms and you are going to get way overpacked with that many plants unless you are going to keep them massively pruned... Vertical growing is a lot more work then people think, especially all the pruning that needs to be done and the lack of airflow happening in back.... Not trying to harsh your grow, propps for the creativity, but I would bet you are in for a harsh awakening once you get started... I will be paying attention and hope I am wrong... Best of luck and watch your eyes and skin.... Takes hours of work each day to train and prune a Vert room and you are always working within inches of super bright hid lighting, completely exposed since there is no longer a hood for your light direction

i have to compleate agree with lostcoast. i did a mini vert room with to shelfs in a 5x5 room and it was almost impossable to access the plants onthe far half of the room, which ended up getting powdery mildew and some had a bit of bud root from not enought air circulation.
circulation is key in a vertical room you need a bounch of fans. Its ideal if you can get them behind the plants also.I'dtry to set themup ina circle pattern, so blowing down one side then across the back and back out the other side, it mat take fans in each corner but you'll be happy you did

The weight of plants is huge to and will all fall in toward the light unless you cage them in or run a thousand string lines

I use a welder's mask when I'm working in my flowering room - works great to keep me from going blind from looking at 2400 stacked watts.

OP, please come back............melikes vert grows.
