........pretty sure we have the capacity, there's an 8k panel in each room, gotta add up the house total though, might have to run them opposite 12/12 from the HPS.



Time to start moving on to the Inda-Gro's, LED's, and Plasma's to see what kinda power savings we can realize with these new technologies!

Hella, I can't wait to see what U do with LED's:)
I remember when I could use the whole house for experiments and scale-up!
As far as power goes, try getting by on just one 20-amp 120 volt circuit for all rooms (veg/clone and flower); also stay in Code for 80 % limit of draw for lighting/AC loads...HehHeh.:biggrin:
Now that you have mastered the cutting edge, (TrimiNator-Ha Ha) at full scale, it looks like you need to move to the bleeding edge of technology, and join us in our misery...MuwahHaahaa..:smoky:

Lol, twas kinda funny.... I had measured everything and figured how many (lol, ft^2 of T-5's I needed) didn't even count/think how many bulbs it would take to fillem all. The girl on the phone is all, "you know your gonna need 2x 100 bulb cases for all these right?"

....."Nice, I'll take a box of Blue and a box of Red then!"

But........, Its......, not finished yet? Their at the uninteresting stage right now, still have like 3 weeks left!


Didja miss the posts with last runs harvest show?
I have videos up of a few overviews and rundowns...

And there are some videos from the last chop of us running the Trimminator as well. Can't remember if I posted them or not though.

What are you feel like ur missin brah? I gots all kind pix I can up!

Macros n closeups? Dried finished product? Unfortunately there are some gaps here and there sometime I'm just so focused and busy with a project I can sometime forget to pickup the camera!

I must admit, I think ur the first person to come through here that's been "diss apointed." So lets see what we can do to fix that situation....

IMO the more pics the better. i love how adrift just throws up em a few times a day.

my favorites are the 'behind the scenes' photos though. shots of your custom rez were very cool... have we seen your electrical setup?

Innnnnnnnteresting!, I wasn't aware that Gavita had entered the Plasma lighting market!

That, in an of itself confirms my interests in this new technology!

Thanx Lyryc!




At this stage of my existence I'm definitely more interested in room construction, theory, applications, etc....

At this point every plant/bud looks the same, its more that journey to the end that is interesting, not so much the final product...

The last 10+ rooms I've been invited to, I'm more interested in the design and the little things that make life easier/better, the plant is gonna grow regardless.

That's prolly why you see more, "behind the scenes" kinda pictures..

Last run it got SOOOO crowded in there, overgrowing into the walkway, that I didn't even go in past the 1st DeHum for like the last 3 weeks, not a whole lot of up-close budshots, at least not while still on the plant!

But hey, way to keep me honest! Lemme see what I can turn up!

My pleasure buddy, Gavita is boss.

I might be wrong, but I think Gavita was the first to have plasma tech with their LEP 300.

Little pricey but it grows coral!

WHEW!

8am......., not quite tired yet!


Been working straight since about 4pm yesterday, haven't sat down till now except for breakfast @ Denny's about 4:30am



I took a decent amount of pix so far, not exactly step-by-step, but I think you might get a decent idea what going on now!

Not quite done yet, so I'm not gonna bombard 'yah with a bunch of half-finished shit. But ooooooooooweeeeeee! Can't WAIT for y'all to see what just happened!

Thats a lot of dedication.

Thank you for the inside look at this awesomeness!

How are these watered?

How were you vegging so many plants before?

Anything new in the bunch?

You see those blue barrels?

Have a big pump in each of them, that lifts the water into the top table, then I pull the drain stopper and it all floods down to the bottom table that has an inline pump in its drain, that lifts it back into the barrel.

Its manually done right now, but I have a plan to automate it soon. Its not critical, there gonna be flipped in like 4 days, so I'll just do it all when that push is over and the room is empty again...


Previously the veg was accomplished in the left room with a slightly different set of "Skunk-Beds," that was done all in 4in pots... then with only a quick 3-5day veg in their final pots they would be flipped.
This different setup allows us to veg/transition flower but now in their final home of a Perfect Pot and with more vertical height.. We will get a more robust root system from them being able to live in their final pots for a longer duration before they are flowered.

Going to be BlackBerry Kush again, we are having to wait longer then expected for the mothers to be large enough to take a useable amount of clones off them.
