my sog coco beds

[sci-fi]

Whats up all. Thought i show you guys my current sog coco-beds. I basically built a 4'x12'x18" table. I have 6 of those super-tubes from lowes w/ drain holes drilled in the bottom. To cool the place i have a 3-ton split a/c.

I have never done a SOG yet and I really would like to sometime in the near future. Maybe next grow.

What kinda lighting you got goin on over that table you said it is 4x12 ft so I would guess either 2 or 3 600s or 3 400s? Ha sorry if Im wrong just guessing what one might use in that space. Let us know a little more about the setup. I am sure you are proud of it; it looks really nice!

I like it alot! Keep posting updates as those ladies turn into some stinky fatties!

I'm actually only using about 91/2'-10' of the table. the last couple feet is empty except for my dehuy. I have 4 600w over (6) super-tubs. Each tub has 12-15 plants per(ran out of rooted clones w/ the ogk) The flower area is sealed off, lights are ducted and cooled w/ an 8" max fan, I run co2 but only to replace depleted co2(since room is sealed). The coco beds are about 8" deep and have a drain hole on the bottom of each which just drops into buckets to collect run-off. I hand water every other day about 15 gallons. I flush maybe every third water w/ 1/4 strength nutes.

Have you considered burying PVC air vents, Soma-style? I'd love to see that in coco.

 

[sci-fi]

No i have not but thats a good idea for extra o2 to the roots. He does it in soil rt?Might be a little over kill when mixing perlite w/ coco though.

 

[sci-fi]

I have not seen to much of a problem w/ o2 to the roots this round and i'm running pure coco. Actually the surface of the coco is like a giant mat of roots

I like it. If you drilled holes in the bottoms of the tubs, where does the water go? Some kind of gutter system?

Either way it looks nice and clean. Congrats

 

[sci-fi]

There just a single hole on the bottom drains into a bucket. Oh yea i put a layer of red pebbles on the bottom for drainage.

I really know what they. Just not rt now. lol

Great setup! Tagging along for this one.
