Well after the success of my last Sea Of Green and the 4x4 e/f trays, I am running this new room, 6000w, 6 tables. One is a 3x3 because a 4x4 wouldnt fit. My last run had 36 AK47, and yeilded a bit over 1.5lb in a 4x4. This was with old bulbs and cooltubes with crappy or no reflectors. So I got 6 new hortilux bulbs, and 6 new 8" HydroFarm Radiant hoods. These hoods are awesome, they are designed to give a 4x4 footprint straight down and provide maximum penetration. Im also going to use insulated 8" ducting.
Strains, like last run, are mainly AK47, along with ATF, Maui, Dj Short Blueberry, Blackberry, and NYCD. Unfortunatly there is only 1 headband. I have these already vegging, around 190 or somthin. I think it will run around 30 per tray with a longer veg than last time.
I am waiting for more 4x4 tables, along with their overpriced matching 70 gallon shallow resevoir. I bought 3 of these, each will serve 2 trays. I got these because this room is only 7 feet tall, and the 45 gallon tubs i was using were 20 inches vs. only 12 with the botanicare rez. 8" is alot in my situation, and I gave in and got them. The framing for the tables is 2x4's and 2x2's.
I am running 2500cfm through this room. Air will enter though a passive 1'x2' space on the bottom of the nearest wall, through a furnace filter, coming from a window in the small area of the room which remains outside of the sealed up room. I have 3 fans and 3 scrubbers. My 1000cfm Max fan is cooling 3 lights. The fan and filter are mounted up high, in the opposite side of the room as the passive intake. This will exhaust through the floor connecting to a costom manifold im building to fit the 1'x1' vent hole leading directly downstairs. ( The vent my power lines will enter through.) I will have another fan, 8" 750cfm and scrubber cooling 2 lights and also leading into this vent. My 6th light will be cooled by another 8" fan and scrubber. This fan will not be exhausted into the same vent as the others, but rather into the attic. This will stay on 24/7 to keep negative pressure in the room with lights off, and minimize any pleasent smells.
I ran 2gauge wires to a subpanel as far as they could reach from the main panel in my basement. I will have the outputs from this going up through the roof into the floor vent.
Alot more to come...
