6000 watts of light and you cant forget the radio.lol. Looks nice and very clean. How did u plan on watering them?
 
mikeross glad to see you stop by. :)

I'm running mostly Chernobyl and a few kush.

The cuts are vegged in the beds for 4-7 days under 24hrs running evens and odds meaning for 12 hr I'll have 1,3,5,7 and 9 running then for the next 12 hrs 2,4,6,8 and 10.

Mostly to save power and also to give the plants a little chillout period even though they still receive plenty of side-lighting. After a couple days when the cuts are well adjusted I run evens and odds during the day and full power at night just so the meter isn't spinning excessively during the day.

bigjay: Whats up man?

MarquisBlack: Nah man never posted there but this is a pretty common setup in my neck of the woods. :)

Bahamut: Fuck yea man I may not use my clothes dryer or dishwasher but you've gotta rock out the tunes for the girls right?

Watering is done with a pump and wand. Another pump sits in the res and recirculates. Water is temped to 68F (res heater) and ph'd to 6.3 (Nutradip Trimeter).

Plants are currently being fed Thrive alive B1 red and Revive. Beds were soaked with Superboost (waaay oversoaked...Fuuuuck!) before planting.
The smaller cuts consequently didn't like that too much and were totally stunted, so unfortunately I'm going to have some holes but w/e live and learn right?

Anyhow on with the pics. These are current pics taken at day 7. This of course is most of the main room. Doing OK aside from a few stragglers. Flipping tomorrow :)

Here is about 2/3 of the small room, couldn't get a real good pic, it's so crowded in there.

Nice buildout! I have the same chair and mine is broken like that too. lol

Why chains on your lights? Those are going to be a BITCH to raise during the grow. Good rope and pulleys would be a better solution. It's such a nice build I can't help but wonder why you went with chains that don't look easily adjustable. How are you raising your lights?

EDIT: Or do you just plan to keep the lights at same height entire grow?

Man im loving these threads on iCMag lately.

Some quick questions. How much was the lumber and insulation? What is your soil mix? and how many plants per soil bed?


Man I love looking at clean grow rooms.

Great grow brother!

The only worry I would have is the no drain situation you have but, since you mentioned your other grow (located somewhere else) I'm sure you have run this type of planting bed before.

Looks very professional, I can't wait to see what kind of bud you produce.

Dern, there was a dude over there with the same soil-bed style who was running Chernobyl, as well. I think I remember him claiming well over 1g/watt.

Can't wait to see this bangin' out buds. Good luck.

Overkill is under-rated.

Agreeed nice use of space. I gotta ask though, why soil beds? Everything else is sooo good bro, I just see the non-draining and unmaintanable beds as the big weak link.

Other than that, MAD props man, your attention to detail and construction look great!
