I don't think (1) 1000 watt light will be enough for two flood and drain tables, but like wheels said if you go with a light mover you may be able to get the coverage that you want. You still may end up doing some supplemental lighting but that should be minimal. I haven't tried what you are doing so this is just my opinion, not from experience.

Also, never done rockwool but I think you can put that in soil or coco and it will be fine but you may want to double check that with someone more knowledgeable on the subject.

Sounds good, you can have your thread back now... :blsmoke:

what size tables are u using? a 1000 will light a 4x4 area all the way out to a 6x6 are but in all honesty i wouldnt rely on a stationary thousand watter to light more than a 5x5 space with a regular hood. an xxxl hood will light an 8x8 space no problem but with that much distance comes light and fluffy buds. at about 5 ft from a thousand ur light will be the intensity of about a 250watt bulb right on the girls if ur lucky. get an xxxl hood and ur light footprint increases greatly.

The table I have now is close to 2 ft x 5 ft. I would get another one of those, so I'd have ~ 5ft x 5ft area. I think I'm going to try it anyways, and get some supplemental lighting if need be. Thanks guys.

a thousand will light 5x5. its pushing the light footprint to its max tho.

It has been an interesting weekend. I now have (2) 5x5 tents and (1) 3x5 tent in my garage. I will post pics tomorrow, my back hurts and I still have some work to do so any more updates will have to wait for tomorrow.

So here is the plan. In the 5x5 I am going to put (9) 3 gallon smart pots filled with coco and a U SCRoG on top. There will be 3 Blue Dream, 3 Tahoe OG, and 3 Herojuana. At least that's the plan for now.

The 3x5 tent is for moms and clones and there are a bunch of happy little girls in there now. They were just transplanted into the Styrofoam cups last week so I am going to wait another week before transplanting again. I am going to pick 1 of each strain and turn them into moms, the others are going to wheels and billcollector so get ready for some clones of Purple Kush, Bullrider, and Afghan Kush.

I want to get to a point where I can harvest every month so here is the future plan. I am getting a 4x4 tent for veg. I will also make 2 more hydro systems that are similar to my current setup. The plants will start off as clones and then go into the hydro system in the 4x4. After a month they will be moved to one of the (2) 5x5 tents to flower. Repeat that until I have all 3 tents going and am harvesting approximately every month.

Here are some pics of my garage, no room for a car anymore:

that shit is pimp. lol. i think u r going to have a problem with that many strains under one screen. im already noticing problems in the 2x4 screen on day 4-5 of flower. one strain is stretching way more than the other. im pinching away so we shall see. get that mom tent started and put a nice 4 ft 8 bulb t5 in it. lol. just my opinion. im going to convert the 2x4 into a mom and veg box once im done flowering. it fits a 4ft 8bulb in it perfectly. :) i measured. im going to have an 8 bulb up top and the lower half is going to have a 4 bulb 4 ft for cloning and shit down below. :) that way i can switch to veg if need be and just screw in the other two bulbs.

Yeah I already have the T5 for the bottom where the moms will go but I haven't put it in yet.

Tonight I put Top Booster in the reservoir. This is an H&G high PK nutrient and this will trigger the flowers to start filling out. Next week is Shooting Powder. This is the fun part of the grow when the buds really start to show.

Here is a comparison of my last grow and my current grow, both at approximately the same point in flower. I hope to get a little more from this grow.

that would work. how big a grow are u planning on running with it tho? if u r planning on going as big as u say u r than id go bigger than a 1hp if u can. unless ur planning on having different ones for everything. multiple lights and reservoirs and shit that needs cooling. wait never mind i guess i answered my own question. lol. ive honestly never really looked into it so im not exactly sure how the process works. havent researched past the point of reviews and prices so ur probably more knowledgeable on the subject than i am. kinda figured it was out of my price range and no need to research more unless i actually get the money.

bc99 thinks im gonna get 10 Oz out of the 2x3 screen when he looked at it. but im thinking maybe a little less. probably close to 6 oz in my personal opinion with the 400 im using. if i had a 6 or a 1000 to rock with a nice hood id believe 10 oz as possible. we shall see when the time comes i guess.

I am still researching but I think a 1HP chiller plus a 15000 BTU portable A/C will do the trick. I already have the A/C and am working on creative ways to vent the exhaust.
