HUGE THANKS TO STINKBUD - AGAIN! Just wanted to update you with New Photos of our work in progress - I decided to use 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" Fence Posts instead of the 4x4 you recommended - I thought it may give a tad bit more room for the roots and the Plants to grow. Plus they were only $22 each at Lowes vs. $29 for the 4x4 at Home Depot??? Go Figure??? Anyway - take a look at my new pics and PLEASE anyone in good spirits (No Haters Please) feel free to comment or ask any questions about our StinkBud Set-up! OUR PATIENT GROUP SENDS MUCH LOVE TO YA!
When we built the first unit - you may notice in the pics - I was making the ajustments on the Fly with the new 4 3/4 size fence post - However the 2nd unit came out PERFECT! I expect the 3rd to finish just as well. We are excited to get the Walls finished with Mylar and Hopefully by next weekend we will install our 240v Outlets to help reduce the amp usage from our lights.
This is what we plan to use for lights:
Mother Tray (1) 400w MH - 18/6
Clone and Veg (1) Florescent 4' with 2 Bulbs each 40w 3,000 Lumens Cool Whites and (2) 24" Florescent with 2 Bulbs each 15w 1100 Lumens Cool Whites.
I use the 24" Lights to get them as close to the smaller plants - the larger light is used at the back, as so are my taller plants.
Do you think this Lighting is Sufficient for my Mother, Clone and Veg set-up?
For the Flower Room towards the Back - a Divider will be used to black out the back part of the Room to allow a 12/12 Flower Cycle.
I plan on using either (3 or 4) 400w HPS lights for the Flower Room - That will give me approx over (w/3)150,000 - (w/4)200,000 Lumens in the Flower Room- will that be enough - the 400w HPS lamps run on 2amps each at 240volts and we figured it was safer to run (4) 400w 2amps versus having to buy more lights with Higher Watts - Please let me know your thoughts on our light set-up!
Thanks again for all you help and insight - again I welcome feedback on my growjournal from all our friends!
