3600 watt flood an drain

[Greenlife1]

Hi everyone,

This is my first go around with hydro. I just moved over the summer, and this is my new setup. Took a lot of hours to build and figure out the room design.

Hers the quick over view..

6_600... 3_ 600 MH, and 3_ 600 HPS
4_3X6 Flood tables each with its own 40 gallon res
3 lights over over 2 trays.

Running DM A&B, calmag, and zyme for grow
AN connoisseur, B52, calmag, zyme for flower(friend gave me the AN to try)

Here are a couple pics..

what media are you running? looks like coco in smarties? i hear mixed reviews on bottom feeding coco but some do extremely well with it. looking good though. they all look nice and healthy from where im standing

i love the tyvec nails i use them too.

 

[dansbuds]

Its the same basic design that i'd like to build & maintain ...... someday

Plants look healthy as can be too .....good job brother !!

nice room and plants! pretty packed in there, but thats the way to maximize yield when managed properly...

Notice you got MH on one side and HPS on the other. What diffs have you noticed? Nice set up! Have always recommended ebb and flow tables to those new to hydro and that can grow many plnats.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
Desert_ yeah 1 gallon smart pots pure coco..so far so good. also in the other 2 trays 4" and 6" cubes..want to see the difference. there is about 80 ltrs of hydroton in there too..
Comparing MH an HPS. And so far I am liking the MH

 

[medicalmj]

What brand bulbs you comparing? Were both sides similar up until the flip?

Thanks for the info!

great garden!

 

[Greenlife1]

I am running ushio MH, and AN's red diamond hps.

This round is just a whole mess of different types of stuff at different sizes that i had going thats why some are in coco, and some in cubes. Next round will be the true test when each tray has one kind, and all the same size.

Sweet! Thanks for showing us...

Ok..some new shots. Been real busy with things, but have some shots of then at 44 days.

First 2 are of just group shot.
Last 3 are some close ups.

 

[Greenlife1]

Well my order got screwed up on that..

 

[catalyte]

looking good!

thnx 4 posting.

 

[Greenlife1]

Thanks!

Hardest thing I have found with doing it this way in tables is tryin to trim the leafs once there in there....hard to get to the back.

Very nice grow, Greenlife. How did the harvest turn out?

What might you suggest as a similar but alternative setup to avoid this issue? I'm planning on setting up something similar to what you have and canopy management is one of my concerns. I'm used to vert trees which you just stand next to to prune/train, but don't know what growers usually do to reach the back of a 3ft or 4ft deep horizontal canopy.

So you flowered all the way through with MH? How did that work out?

Wow that's gonna kill it! Pack em in 4 per sq/ft if you don't mind the counts and you'll get 15+ pounds for sure. Maybe up to 20 w right strain and off course co2. Nothing beats a sea of green in a flood table and 4" rw cubes if you aren't restricted by plant count.

Cant wait to see that sea of buds!
