Hi everyone,
I have a mixed knowledge of Hydroponics that seems to be growing every single day. In fact, due to the things I've done because of my Hydro, I feel like now I'm an electrician/plumber/construction worker... not all of it was fun, but I can safely say that I learned a lot of valuable things.
My first grow was from some homemade aeroponic tubs... Had a blast... Then for my last few grows I've been using drip trays inside of grow tents. The tents are cool, but they also limit you on many things... height being one of the main things.
As you'll see in this thread, I've moved on to bigger and better things
I havent gone back to Aero just yet... but I will one day.
Ok, so this room that I built is 12'x12' by 9' high.
I'm using four 1000w, 8", air cooled lights, that are cooled on an external air source and vented externally as well. The lights are timed off of a C.A.P. MLC-4X which is hardwired into a 30A breaker in my sub-panel.
There are a total of 3 drip trays; one 4'x8' and two 4'x4's. Each tray will have its own res, located directly beneath each tray.
I'm running CO2 out of a 20lb tank w/ a C.A.P. Reg-1 on it. I also have a C.A.P. PPM-3 controlling the level of CO2 in the room. (I'll be keeping it at 1500 while the lights are on)
I have a Everstar 13,000 BTU Portable A/C inside the room. The exhaust from the A/C, runs outside the growroom and through a 6" HydroGen Ice Box (which is cooled by a 1/4HP chiller) and then back into the growroom. I'm doing this so that my A/C does not exhaust my CO2 out of the room. There are 2 wall mounted oscillating fans circulating the air in the room.
I have not picked a strain yet, but am in the process...
I'm going to be using mini rockwool cubes as my medium, inside of buckets that are roughly 2-3 gallons in size. There will be either 9 or 12 plants per light.
This is going to be an amazing journey... I hope you guys enjoy the ride
