What is the biggest stadium that can be seen on the internet?

[catalyte]

Gotta respectfully disagree with yas Mr CC..and......

I`ll tell yas why.......With lights in the corners instead of plants along with all walls and ceilings covered in reflectix , what happens is ........

Every plant gets constantly blasted by 3 lights at all times with no dead spots in the corners , as well as the plants in the middle getting hit by 4 lights for even more lumen penetration/absorption for said plant placement.......so...that said.....

8000 watts with 7 big plants works in 160 sq ft grow area , but 7 big plants need an individual 5 x 5 sq ft area to be all they can be with a dialed environment by end of cycle , so yas can see the math doesn`t quite work.....but.......

It`s doable if dialable with.....all the environmental equipment in place to carry most of the load.....anyways.....

Many ways ta skin a mule....and....

Holler if I can help.....DHF...........

yeah you're right that design needs more space than we are talking about in this thread....

was just dreaming haha

Doughnuts are so easy and yeild like a mofo if using a good cut and doing blumats or other automated feeding. I just smashed my all-time record for 1200 watts. 5 plants (flowered at 32") around 2 stacked 600's, blumats, JR Peters Hydro mix + calcinit.

Pulled 25 z's of nice tight buds + lots of bubble material...know I can do better next time.

So Doughnuts For The Win, imho.............

I don't understand this picture at all. I'm gonna do more searching on weed donuts.

I think I've decided against the stadium idea. I've drawn out a bunch of different plans. My problem is that I've never grown vertically before, and I'm nervous about making the investment and then having my setup not work out.

Easy labor and maintenance is the biggest thing for me, aside from yield. What can I say... I'm lazy. Part of me wants to just build a big DTW horizontal system... old-school style. It's how I did my last grow, and I rather liked it.

Thanks to everyone who has chimed in.

^ go with what seems more instinctive for the way you grow

vertical aint for everyone.. it does take more dialage than horizontal settups...

Doughnuts are the way to go with stacked bulbs. Its pretty easy to pull 4-6 oz off one plant

or 1.5 lb a plant

Fuck the stadium idea....... Probably the most inefficient vert system ever conceived. Why? Because half of your light is wasted being directed at the bulb next to it, instead of directly at plant matter.

If you want lower numbers/maintenance run you lights in an x pattern as fred's describes above, or do vertical donuts with 4-8 plants per light.

If your goal is maximum production and upping your numbers/workload isn't an issue, go with a coliseum/rack setup like myself, bobble, farmhousecat, gmax, and a couple others are running.

another me too moment. donuts are easy and efficient. best starting point there is. then move on to fancy sog vert crazyness if your up to it.
