This is Run #1: Run 1 will consist of a flowering room with 2 4x8 tents... (48 ebb n gro buckets) 4x 1000w hps. Veg/Moms will be handled by 1 4x8 tent with a 1000w hortlux super blue (600hps+400mh) and T-5s

Run #2: will be adding a 400w cmh to each flowering tent so 4800w (2x 1kw hps , + 2x 400w cmh) for added spectrum

the veg will begin a perpetual harvest aiming for 1lb per week. i will have 2 4x8 tents with matching 48 bucket ebb n grow systems to move plants from one system to the next effortlessly....pop them outta the veg room and into the flower room. buckets slide outta the veg room into the flower room so easy...vegging will then be done with 4 400w cmh in each 4x8

so for now... i got 2 tents (4x8) in one room with 2kw in each (flowering tents).... Adding another tent (in the other room) gonna throw a 1000w Hortilux Super Blue in there to veg out my moms,and clones...Until the matching veg room is installed next run....

Here is the construction pictures



So heres the current blue print




Heres the clones that will become moms (Blue Dream and Grape Ape, also Chem D in this pic. also getting OG, c99, Afgoo, f13, Gods Gift, Headband, Green Crack, Purple Kush, Grape Romulan, Skywalker and Burkle for the mom room)


As you can see from the construction pictures I am going with the ebb n gro buckets got 2 controllers 2 55 gal resses and 48 buckets , watering with H&G von de zwaan nutes, RO water fed in through a line, 4 super sun 2 hoods, 4 hortilux super hps 1000w , 4 1000w hps ballast thats just the flowering room....

after this grow, there will be 2 veg tents to compliment the 2 flowering tents, and a mom/clone tent... everything's super clean.... the room is underground so cooling is easy, (we have 2 15k btu portable ac's on hand just in case!) it stays very very cool being how well insulated it is in there....

well this is for all the nay sayers who said i couldn't do it! Stay Tuned!

Thanks for checking in!

NorCalFor20,

Great list of moms! I've always wanted to try afgoo, gods gift, grape ape, headband, blue dream and green crack...lol so mostly everything you have! I'm just wondering if you need so much light for veg...I've read that you double up on wattage for bloom...so a 2k veg would have a 4k bloom. Never done anything on this big of a scale but that's how I've seen it done. I guess it will just allow you to get some real monsters in veg. :)

EDIT: I'm just a newb and really here to learn...You have been around here a lot longer than me and have a lot of experience and I see it documented...so maybe I should be running more veg lights? hah

You mean you're wiring the ballasts up to be run at 240v?

no, the ballasts are easily switchable to 240v just changing the outlets to run 240v cuts the amps in half

for the veg im thinking of using 4x 400w cmh in a 4x8 so thats 1600w per veg tent and 2000w per flower but right now just have the flowering tents setup with hps will get veg tents up and running after this first run...

Looking good!
Wiring in 220v will certainly save you $ on wire and manybe a minute amount on your power bill. If you run an extra 220v for your blowers you might save a little money, they run a little more efficiently.

Can't wait to see this room filled up and running!

Hello folks, its been a while sorry for the delay i've been setting up for something awesome. Here is the beginning stage. We have Blue Dream and Grape Ape mother plants outdoors just rooted clones we are gonna take the best 48 put them into the hydroponic systems run them with 4800w ... Can't wait to see how this turns out. Everyone stay tuned, Peace & Pot

anyways, I took a few trays worth of clones gonna pick the best 48 for the hydro systems....
