Hey all. Have most of this multiple room setup done and just want to put the info out in hopes you all more experienced growers will catch any problems.

This is an al-b-fuct inspired grow
1 mother enclosure(2x4 flood table), 1 flower enclosure(2- 3x3 flood tables), 1 clone enclosure


Two rooms-

-Room 1-
-Clone area
2x4x6' enclosure
2 Area 51 w100s
4" vortex fan/phresh filter on thermostat
Using Rockwool now, but it's giving me problem I think

-Veg area(mother room)
It's a strange shaped enclosure with pitched walls on 2 sides. About 10x5x7'
Sealed light hood with 6" vortex fan blowing through and exhausting out of the room(this intakes from outside the enclosure)
6" vortex fan/phresh filter exhausting the room, the room intakes from an a/c vent and stays at 72 degrees
600 watt metal halide

2x4 flood table with 25 gal res underneath
Using 6" net pots with hydroton now with the Rockwool cube on top(thinkin of changing to rapid rooter plugs becuSe of Rock wool ph problems)
Lights on 24/7 and floods every 4 hours round the clock
These mothers will need to produce 30-60 good clones per month and will be replaced once used with a new cutting.

-Flower room-
10x5x7' with 2 Tapered walls
2 - 3x3 flood tables
4 Area 51 rw150s over one
6 Area 51 w90s over the other
2 6" fans exhausting the entire room, mostly this flower enclosure and also for the drying enclosure

-Drying enclosure
2x5x6' enclosure
Not sure how to set this up, thinking a thin wood frame with holes drilled through and running finding line all over.


-extra 4x7x5 1/2' enclosure for storage for now. It's only 5.5' so I can't do a flood table unfortunately But maybe more grow space for down the road with a different hydro system. Tips welcomed.

Pictures attached in the same order as described. Thanks for reading and please join in on discussion!

I may be on the verge of not having enough height.
The mothers room has a 600 watt metal halide in the sealed hood and the glass is about 1' from the ceiling or more at its highest point.
The flood table is about 2' high. The light needs to be 12" from the plants once full grown and so I'm left with 3'. Should be okay there.

But the flowering room... The lights have to be 18" away, the lights hang 1' from the ceiling at their highest point, flood table 2' so I have just over 2' left.
Going to be immediately flowering once clones take root so should be okay with some strains.

What do You mean a dry run with lights on?
Seems to be proper light coverage. Temps all good. Res nice and cool. No plans for c02. I just went back and covered the top of the flood tray with panda film and am flooding every 3 hours. Did a foilar spray of ph light nute mix, and then sprayed a ph balance water off 15 min later to clean the leaves. I am pretty new to this so idk. Was just trying to keep the water from getting any light and the one plant that has leaf edges curled up back to life. They all don't look that great but hoping it gets better

looks good . depending on where you are at in the world a dehumidifier. keep the rh in the 40s to high 30s during flower.i live in the hi desert and i need one and good air flow over the canopy.

Oh cool I'll check it out thanks.
The humidity levels should be fine. They stay about 30-40 in this room now. During flower I'll have more exhaustion to keep the humidity down

I'll have to see what mildew looks like online. Pretty new to this. Still having some things to learn big time.

What nutrient ppm level would you say plants this size would need?

ok you have two choices go the lucas formula or and the grow into the mix , lucas is a 2:1 for every gallon start with 3ml of micro to 6 ml of bloom that is a light feeding then as the plants grow bump it up to 5ml micro to 10ml. bloom. or go 4 ml grow and then bump up to 5ml grow and 5ml micro. and 2.5 bloom and look for def. and when you transition go 4/4/4 ml then later in flower 4/1/5 accordingly should be no more than 900 ppm heavy . 600 ppm light
