2.6k hps 9 bucket RDWC

[green_thumb...]

I wanna say they were around 700ppm and yeah they grew back fast. Yours should be bushy again in another 2days or so.

And BG thanks for the advise,I think I remember you sayin to drop the screen on at 5days 12/12?

Were at day 4 12/12 today so of thats right I'll drop the screen on tomorrow.

How close do I put it over the gals?

Looking good GT, I'm subscribed for sure.

 

[green_thumb...]

Thanks Agent-Smith,where ya been long time no post huh?

Whites that grow tunnel thread?

 

[Agent-Smith]

I've been so busy with work bro, I haven't had much time for the forums. I got videos of that tunnel I was telling you about, and of the new trailers I designed for weGrow. Check em' out

[Agent-Smith]

If you look at the trailer videos, you'll see the tunnel design is everywhere I go LOL

I got way more things in the works too, you guys just wait.........Agent-Smith is doing big things

 

[green_thumb...]

Well bring that bitch up north!

 

[Agent-Smith]

I'll bring it anywhere you want it to go, as long as you buy it

 

[green_thumb...]

Lol what do they run?

 

[Agent-Smith]

Depends on the size. We make them anywhere from 20' to 53' with varying configurations. They start at $30K and go up from there. The Big Dog 53' is going to have 30000W of Flowering power! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Nice! May want a couple 53 footers mid next year to put in the ground.

and get a damn tunnel grow thread going and inspire peeps.

 

[Agent-Smith]

Sounds Like fun!

I'm getting a house soon so I'll be setting up a tunnel then I'm thinking of Bio-buckets this time...

 

[green_thumb...]

You should make a heath inspired tree machine and tunnel it up!

Is like to know more about the tunnel as id like tu build one for my garage.

 

[Agent-Smith]

What is it you'd like to know? I always thought a stadium style tunnel would be cool too

 

[green_thumb...]

The design of it mainly,what materials needed and what size for 4k and how much can it cover,ya know the basics lol.

 

[Agent-Smith]

OK, gimme a little time, kinda busy but I'll try to get back to it today at work

How them bitches looking GT?

Well the main idea of the tunnel design is to maximize the efficiency and coverage of your lights. So you make a custom reflector to fit your table size or whatever area you are trying to cover. 400's, 600's and 1000's all have been used although I don't recommend 1000's personally. The coverage area of each bulb per my tests are as follows:
400W bulb can cover 5 feet wide by 3 feet long area
600W bulb can cover 6 feet wide by 3.5 - 4 feet long area
1000W bulb can cover 7 feet wide by 4 - 4.5 feet long area
The last half a foot lengthwise from the 600 and 1000 aren't very efficiently covered but will still yield ok.
But if you are using multiple bulbs then the overlap makes up that distance no problem. So if you were to use 4000W then you could cover a 7' x 18' area efficiently.
Walls that close it all in are also key components of the tunnel. We don't grow floors, or reservoirs, or walls, etc. so let's reflect all of that back onto our plants correctly.

Now as far as the growing method, any system can be used from dirt to hydro, but I've got my best results so far from buckets and I'm gonna be starting a modified Bio-bucket system soon that should be lots of fun so I'll be sure to update you all when that happens.
Any other design questions, feel free to ask. I do this for a job so I have fun with it! Let's design you a room

Here's a couple pics for a reminder of the design:

I'm down man I have a 5'x12'-15' area my grow is in now,I have 3k a 600w and a 400w we could throw in it too.

In my area I have the 4 bucket rdwc,and probably 12 to 14 gals in 3-5 gallon pots and a single E&F tub.

So let me know whats up?

WATCH MY UPDATE.

Well thought it would have been a good idea.
