med-man tables #2 (2 - 20ft x 4ft)
- Thread starter med-man
- Start date
First time seeing your tables & grows ... so i'm interested
how many lights per table ? I have a shit load more questions .... but instead of bombarding ya all at once .... i'll stay tagged up & check it out as ya build it .
hey dansbuds
all is good man
this question has 2 answers
1- og medman tables were made for 2 x 4x8 tables, 1 res, 4 kw then 6-600. 10 pounds easy every 75 days with bc big bud and nl#5 around 1999
2- the longer tables you have, the less bulbs can be used. as you can spread them out more. like in this case. 10 - 600 would work, but i have a 12 flip so am using 12 600 over 2 x 20ft tables. i have got awesome results with 8 - 600 over 2 x 16ft tables too. subject to you and your reflectors.
another note. some people may have plant restrictions, so you can bore as many or little plant sites as needed in the lids. standard is 15 plants per 4x8. stay tuned for my dwc tables too, they are even easier then these in some respects...
thanks for joining in

Good mornin' Med!,
Nah im afraid not lol, what is uhf? I just decided on that when I started the acount on the site. (Its not my real name) I like stuff that gets you running around like a chicken with its head cut off forgetting what your doing. I like a little bit of heart pumping, but also like it to knock me on my ass. I've always kinda liked Chemdog. Take care, and thanks!

Yeah i was thinking if you cut it into 4' sections 10 lights would do fine .... kinda surprised your going the 600's route ..... most people are hung up on the 1000's . i'm a 600 guy myself
they've done me right !!!!I do coco DTW with 600's in blockbuster hoods , over 3 x 3 trays . but i'm always looking how other people set up thier rooms & yours looks really interesting !!! thanx for showing us this !!!

hi dansbuds
is that an attic?
super clean set up.
3 600 in adjustawings with digi ballasts will deliver 3x more light at 12 - 18 inches away from the canopy then 2 1000 at 2 feet away from the canopy. i take 600 anyday of the week. more points of light too. i just got 3 pounds of organic hydro with no co2 from a 4x10 foot bed. not bad for unoptimal conditions. co2 would add another 2-3 pounds easy

Yeah its an attic .... not really happy being up here , but i gotta do what I can with what i've got . I just redid that whole room, which is why that pic has no plants in it yet . i'm going now with 2 trays full & the 3rd tray will get filled around mid month to get the perpetual going again . temps get a little extreme up here but its manageable .
Thanx Medman

Hey med man love the tables, so clean an simple. Appreciate you taking the time explaining them. Plant numbers are an issue in my state. I remember seeing some photos you posted some time ago with i think u called them med man buckets?? looked like a top drip 5 gal bucket system with the gro-star reflectors. Was wondering if there was any info out there on the bucket setup.

Sounds good, but by all means don't start one on my part. Been Building systems for years now. recirculating 24/7 top drip has shown me some impressive growth in the past trials. sometime 2-3 inches a day at the right moment late veg early flower. Just curious how yours was setup. Building a new flower room an going with 5 gal buckets, prob use 3 gal top bucket with hydroton or gro stones. top drip 24/7 halo drip rings. 2 inch uni seals for the return setup leaving 2-3 inches of water in bucket at all times. could call it a Shallow water top drip undercurrent system...... Abit off topic. Gonna look into the gro-stars, vert parabolics rocks.... b-safe
