OK.. Finally I have some time to breath, work, kids, plants, taxes, girlfriend. JESUS give a brotha some space!!
Anywho..
Here are two shots of the room. Left side and right side.
So as it turns out I could only fit 6 hoods in each row, so I will only be running 7200 watts. The scrog screens are off the shelf home depot coated fencing with 2" x 3" holes and metal conduit pipe. THe pipe is sooo much easier to mess with than PVC because its amller, sriffer, and doesn't wobble all around. You just bend the pipe to make the corners. I hung the screens from the ceiling. Easy peasy.
I promised to try and teach some people something so here goes.. This is a relay.
which for whatever reason, can be confusing for some. All it is a switch. it turns power on and off to something. Well why is that different than a timer? Well, its different because it can turn on and off A LOT of amps if needed. In this case, I have about 13 amps of inlet and outlet fans (the big squirrel cage ones). MY CAP controller unit (right hand side of second photo above, can only handle 15 amps of gear and it turns on and off the inline fans with the lights. So, if you look at the photo above.. you can see two sets of wires going to one end of the relay. Those wires are the HOT and NEUTRAL that go to each blower. The other side of the relay... has the power from the panel (and it actually continues on to power an outlet downstream of the relay but whatever) Now, see the black wire coming into the box with no fitting or anything? That is the trigger cord.. its just an old lamp cord that I cut off..well, i cut it off an old lamp. Those wires connect to the middle of the relay and I plug it into the controller. When it gets warm in the room... CLICK... the CAP control sends power to the relay.. the switch closes and juice flows to the blowers.
What else do we have? Ohhh, my ghetto rez. a little over 180 gallons.
plywood, 2 x 4 and a piece of pond liner. Total cost, about $60. Reservoirs are fucking stupid expensive. There is a great solution, those 225 gallon plastic containers with the metal cage in them to transport chemicals.. problem... won't fit through any door in any house that I know about.
You can also see my DIY chiller. dehumidifier coil, the cold one, not the hot one.. obviously get bent down into t he cooler full of water. The dehu is plugged into a temperature controller so that is the rez gets above 64 it turns the dehu on. This makes the water in the cooler COLD, QUICK. That water is always being pumped through a small 3/8" black line that connects to a section of stainless steel wort chiller coil ( NOT copper) and back to the cooler.
I typically have about 70 gallons sitting in the rez at any given time, so it gets down to about 63. The plant buckets get emptied and refilled every three hours so when that water hits the rez its about 68 and when it leaves its about 66 (after mixing with the colder water sitting in the rez).
Anything else? Massive dehu.. this thing is a MONSTER. Much more power hungry than the newer dual XT model but this one cost me $600 used , not $1600.

that makes two of us. I was having some root issues and tried a physian treatment at 1ml per 10 gallons. 3 of the plants REALLY didn't like them. pisses me off. This is the second time I tried to cure some root funk with chemicals when I know that beneficials will clear it up big time. ANywho, I'm flipping next week so stay tuned

Where'd you get the C99?

Very cool. I've been debating in switching my setup to hydro. I'm on my second grow tho (60 plants in soil), but I'm learning quickly. I'm experimenting with a small DWC setup and Ebb & Flow setup, side by side. I'm excited to see how it all goes for you.

I would suggest ebb and flow before DWC. Big time.
The c99 I got from a buddy. It's an AMAZING strain

Didn't that strain get lost in the early 90s?
Some dip shit burned down his apartment complex. Lost everything.
I know there is no such thing as Cinderella99 anymore... Just cross strains...

Oh I see, every single C99 plant in existence was in one guys apartment.
LOL. Bummer

Pretty sure there is false advertising on c99 then if that's the case. Have seen plenty of it around on internet. One guys apartment seems a little strange.

I'll look for the article.
The guys father was the one who found it. Took clones and his son was the only one growing it before it got around. So, Originally, yes. Perhaps his dad kept a clone, or one of his friends got a hold of it and crossed it. But there is no such thing as Cinderella99... F1

Here:
Cinderella 99 received her name because, like the well-known fairly tale heroine, she is a high-class girl with humble origins. Originally, the Brothers Grimm developed the F1 generation of Cinderella 99, but they discontinued their business in 1992, due to mishaps making the strain unavailable. Gypsy Nirvana commissioned the breeders at nirvana to produce the F2 generation. They selected two top parents and concentrated on reviving a version of Cinderella that retained the "traits package" of delicious flavor, sativa high, and a quick finish.
The F2 Cindy was selected and stabilized. When planted in an 11-liter (3-gallon) soil bucket, Cinderella 99 yields 50 grams (almost 2 ounces) of dried bud on average - not a huge cornucopia of pot yield, but a respectable-sized harvest of premium slow-smoking buds. Cinderella's bud construction is very dense for a sativa-dominant plant, with a fruit aroma and a nice sugary resin coating. Gypsy Nirvana's stabilized F2 Cindys finished flowering between 57 and 61 days under a 12/12 indoor light cycle. Although developed for indoor growing, Cinderella has fared very well outdoors too, yielding of up to one kilo of bud per plant.
The abundance of fine leaves typical of sativas can make Cinderella 99 difficult to manicure, but she is easy to clone. Abundant trichome development can be seen two thirds of the way down her first leaves, closest to the buds.
Cinderella 99 gives a silly, bubbly yet lucid head high with a few inhalations of her pineapple -like smoke or vapor. Sweet taste and giggle fits make Cindy 99 fun for occasional smokers while her classic sativa mind stimulation - and her growing traits - will please the old school congregation of devoted tokers.

My father is the one who saved it from the apartment fire. All I know is that my bud displays all of the traits that C99 does and I got it from a very very very experienced grower. In the end, who cares, it's a great strain

That's all that really matters man lol. I wasn't trash talkin. It is really good. It's actuualy the most stickiest bud I've ever came across.
I was just making sure you knew. Lots of people hate cross strains. They want the real deal, which is why I got my Black Widow instead of White... Closest I could come to the F1.. Being THE F1 or not *shrugs*
