with hanging the lights on the wire, lazyman uses cable to hang all his lights on..I'm sure he says how somewhere in his thread.

wow I didn't realize at first the scale and how many racks fit around each light. What size lines are those? 3/4 --> 1/4 ?

I've looked in lazyman's threads, and I see chains holding single lamps... I'm doing a 3 lamp light column, gotta run 2 lines, one on either side. Might just stick with chains for now...

Water lines are 1/2" to 1/4".

One thing i've learned from the very early days was that move everything that comes to your way when you are sober immediatelly. Once i get baked things start to remind one of the Laurel and Hardy -movie.

I trust you've been there too... :D

Looking great!!

heheh ok time to get a BIGGER pump possibly later..for now we are hand watering.

When you're talking about pumping water up several feet, the pressure drops significantly. It helps to have that extra push, and then you can dial it down with the shut-off valves... That's something DHF has got through my head big time. Overkill is ok cause you can dial it down, but when you don't have enough, well, you don't have enough.

You allow yourself to sober up? :laughing: My life is a movie. Welcome to the bobblehead show.

Put up ducting and had to conduct some rigorous tests. This is with just the scrubber running. Negative pressure= check.

Ducting from Homebox XXL to intake fan. In 4 weeks, the other pod will be fired up, and the duct will get attach to the other fan.

Moved this fan to the right immediately after hitting my head first thing upon turning the corner...

Exhaust fan blowing right behind the scrubber...

I ran the atomizer with some bleach water, sprayed the homebox xxl and the pod. I'm packing up the plants and taking them over there... They'll get another week to veg b/c they're not tall enough, but I know they'll shoot up after a translplant... So while they veg, I'm going to get the lights up and all the other odds and ends together... and I'm gonna start this circus...

OOOOOH

Is that reflectix crap over the FRONT of the stands? So you'll just be yanking the stalk itself through the reflectix? (Is that an opening slit from N to S I see?)

If that's the case, LOVE IT

(And water from behind? Doggy fashion?)

If not, ..

Might woulda been a neat idea. :dunno:

Yeah I think he waters from lines run from the TOP of the pods down with control valves at the top to set even water amounts for each pod....I think.

There is a cross cut into each plant site, so that the pots can be placed inside, leaving only the plant exposed. No yanking. Watering doggy style.

The water is pumped in via a 1/2" feed line that runs up AND down the racks. I did it like this because I want each rack to be an individual plug-and-play unit. It gives me freedom to do other things in the future. The water pressure isn't controlled until it reaches the end of the drip line, where I have mini inline shut-off valves to control how much water goes to each individual plant. That's the theory anyway, I have yet to run it.

depends how you look at it... :) The homebox xxl has plants vegging inside. They need to get a bit taller... Kinda funny, my tent looks like the display model at the hydro shop. I've done 2 vert runs in the homebox, and now it has a hood with ducting... Never done the same grow 2x with that thing.

So I have to transplant all those plants (64+) to 1 gal containers, cause right now they're in beer cups... Hang the lights... and it's show time! I'll flip to flower by the end of next week. I have some other things to do like take my big assed dehumidifier down to the basement, get the environment dialed... Should be easy though seeing how I spent $100's on controllers. :)
