Ohhhh, now i get ya, you build your tables just high enough than you can then use the 2x12 with pond liner reservoir under it? that right?
I have good access to a couple different floor drains to connect runoff . So placing it underneath would be perfect.
you got any pics of your old setup?

Ok, i think you have helped me enough for one day, i got a base plan and a good idea of what i want , thanks as usual man. always appreciated.
Im gonna buy material tomorrow for running auto drip to coco, will also grab some 2x12 on the way home. Not sure where ill find pond liners around here this time of year, but ya never know.
I seen a guy the other day who made flood tables and used Ice and water shield, thats the stuff used on roofs for water proofing.
None of this can be put into place until the last 2 are done finishing up flowering and i can remove the tents, then i can move everything around and set it up properly.

Do you use any PK boosters? Im growing in soil and i have to raise my GMB quite abit higher with my additives to get to 1000ppm. Also, do you have any experince with running a pk booster like monster bloom starting from week 3 in a 12 week strain?
Ah Thanks. Just wondering if im wasting my money running monster bloom. Usually start it half dose week 3 then full strength week 4 for a 8 week strain. But i feel like running it so early for a 12 week strain is a bad idea.

Well I added side lighting and thats how I get large yields. I still hover around a gram per watt when I veg them long enough (didn't do that last round) but I have more watts. lol Other than that genetics has a lot to do with it. Some strains yield really well.
I am usually up at nite lol

I built these 2x4 tables with 2x4’s and 4x4 fence posts & casters recently.
I like the separate 2x4 tables so you can remove bottoms etc if needed. I run SOG as well and I love have the 4x4 area able to be split in the middle to work in and also run two separate flavors if need be.
I hope it helps!
I’d add some simple 2x2’s for trellising ( staple gun is useful )
Happy growing

So today I flushed the plants before their feeding. Don't want any salt buildups. Plants are doing well, you can hardly tell I defoliated them yesterday.
The room with Jacks appears to be doing well, no signs of problems so far.
The plant with the 600 watt CMH over it seems to be keeping up with the others. Pretty excited about this.
Here are some pics after the flush. You can see I pulled another trellis down to finish out their training.

No this is a 600 watt CMH Growers Choice bulb that I put in one of the Sunsystem 1kW ballasts running at 60%. Goal is to do with 600 watts what I have been doing with 1000 watts.
The other 1000 watt CMH nanolux lights are in the veg room.
Also did a light foliar feed today for shits and giggles.

how long has it been running? ive read that chm bulbs have much shorter lifespans when used with regular ballasts. ive been considering switching half my flowering room to cmh to see what the fuss is about, would be nice if i could try it out without switching my ballasts out too

The bulb has been in since saturday. It is designed to be used with HPS ballasts. https://growershouse.com/growers-choice-630w-de-double-ended-cmh-ceramic-mh-lamp-3k-r-red-enhanced
They run a lot cooler, more wattage is being made into light instead of heat. Great spectrum with UV so I won't need to change to a finishing bulb at the end for extra resin production.
