sounds like that will work. It would be good to get it set up and tested for temp before you add plants. That way you can tweek it before plants. just a thought.

Yeah, without a doubt. I am far from being ready. I still have A LOT to learn.

Step by step.

Now I gotta figure out what system I will be using. Thinking of building myself an aeroponics system, but still researching and I want to make sure that I am setting up the BEST possible system and making sure I know exactly what I am doing. Though I definitely have to have this built before I go setting up my lights.

And I will be starting from seeds so I will be doing all kinds of testing before I ever even get them. That's the last thing I will get.

thanks again for all of your help!

I think I will end up pulling air IN from the crawl space and then OUT into the attic. Crawl space being about 4' high and the attic a good 8'. Think I will run it directly through my lamps and then into the room. Bypassing the garage entirely. At least this way the area surrounding my grow room (the garage) will still maintain a moderate temp (in both summer and winter time).

Then, in the summer months, I will just redirect the air from my lights up into the attic, since heat would then be a problem.

Wintertime = Direct through the lights and into the room (to help warm it up).
Summertime = Direct through the lights and up into the attic (to remove that unwanted heat).

much smarter plan

I was thinking about getting this mover:

http://cheaphydroponics.com/store/view-all/intelli-drive-light-rail-3-5-6-rpm-w/-6-39-rail/prod_74.html

Would it be best at 6RPM or 10RPM(same cost either way)?

Also, I think I will get this extension kit as well, so I can run both of my 1000w lights on it:

http://cheaphydroponics.com/store/view-all/add-a-lamp-kit/prod_78.html

It's a straight rail system. 12' long with the extension.

Thinking of doing an aeroponics system, so I could just use fewer tubes and make them extra long in order to accommodate for this light set up. Still trying to figure all of that out though and taking it step by step.

Any thoughts?

thanks a million

the 10rpm can support 1 or 2 lights, and the 6 can do 3 or more. i have 2 1000's with big inline hoods and 20 or so lbs of steel tubing connecting the lights to the mover, so i went with the 6 just to be safe

12' rail should be just fine, but make sure the lights are as close to the tops as possible. keep all the plants the same height through toppin, fim'n, or bendin.

check out epixbud's DIY for a veg/flower areo unit all in 1, i'll find the link n post it....

awesome.. thanks again keeger.

one last question for you if you happen to come back again... do i need a separate motor for each light on that rail OR will the 1 motor move both lights if I get the "add a light" system?

well 1 6rpm mover/motor can support 3 or so lights.l i'm not sure what add a light system is. mine is simple design, 5 ft of 1" steel tubing with 1/4" hole in the middle for hookin up to the mover, and moving brackets made of 4" lengths of 1 1/4" thin wall tubing so they can slide along the 5' bar, and 22" lengths of 1" tubing welded to the bottoms of the thin walled stuff, with hooks for chains at each end of the 22" tubing. so 1 for each of my 2 lights. i had a local welding shop whip them up... the 5' bar runs perpendicular to the mover rail. my hoods are inline too so i have ducting running through it parallel to the 5' bar
