...... rooms are looking great going to bring many smiles to thousands of patients .

just some experience with the waterfarms not sure if this was covered and i just missed it.

Waterfarm Mods

Not sure if it is just the nutes i use(house&garden) but once a week i was cleaning the drip line because off the calcium build up, honestly now i just them as DWC after two weeks of growth

Thats one thing thats cool about hydro, you can constantly mess with it and never seem to perfect it. I saw a drawing of a system today thats unreal. Picture an 8x8 table with two 1k bulbs in a 6 foot cool tube vertically in the center, vertical pvc tubes stuck in 5 gallon pots full of hydroton all around it with holes in the sides for the plants. He just waters the top of the pvc tube. Yields 6 lbs per table. You can fit 4 tables in a 2 car garage.

just wanted to say, man, things in your place are lookin great..... keep up the good work. just one question though... how much power (total) does your grow use? have you put any thought at all into led for supplimental or veg lighting?

thanks for stopping by. i draw sumwhere between 50-70amps given if everything was flipped on at the same time for a mass power surge. but LED would b sumthing to check into. ive seen a demo at the Hemp convention and they have em at greencoast hydro buuut i havent researched them enough to decide wat id wanna do. but if uve got sum info on them feel free to shed sum light. i know cruzer uses LED for his veg but with this size of crop idk wat itd all take

Here is my thread on LED's
https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/314516-real-led-discussion.html

What size is your veg area, that would help to determine how many LED's you would need?

I think you're on the right track Boomer, In my opinion LEDS are just not cost effective for a space that size. Wait a year or so and when the super LEDS come out and people buy those you can pick up used for cheap on craigslist or ebay.

Talking about lighting, have you ever flowered with T5"s?
Man, blew me away. The amount of trichs.

I'll tell you for veg I'm trading in all my MH for t5's. The 8 bulb puts out 40,000 lumens. My cousin has one and it's fucking awsome. But I really prefer to veg under my 600 HPS whenever I can.

Pretty sure it's an odd number like 432. Says right on the box I just can't rememebr. He paid 275 and some change.




40,000 and you can put plants so much closer than the HPS. So the floros actually outperform the 400 HPS. Extra bonus, hardly and heat.
