I'm looking at building these very soon but have a few questions. Do you add 2x4's along the plywood to make it more rigid or do you just have the legs on each corner with no support in the middle of the plywood? also how are the legs attached? finally, do you remember how much material it took to make each table as in how many 2x4's and how much plastic?? I would be running a pretty much identical setup to yours as far as amount of tables and lights. Thanks a ton, these looks awesome!! looks like i could outfit my whole room for around $200 from what ive come up with based upon home depot prices. what kind of saw for cutting the plastic, circular?? I will need to get one of those but i need one in my arsenal anyways.

Yes I added 2xs to make it sturdy. I just snapped a shot for u. Legs just slap in the corner and screw on. Easy and fast.
Harvesting as we speak.! I think I used 6 12foot sheets of roofing

sweet jesus you crushed it man!! I appreciate you takin pics and replying to me. So in that first pic, is that 2 tables touching or do you have 2 legs like that right next to eachother? It's hard to tell kind of sorry, I'm not very experienced in fabrication, I know I could do these tables and probably even more complex projects with plans and whatnot. Looks like about a 2 foot spacing for the supports goings down the width of the plywood correct? thanks man

To add to the roofing discussion- I've seen tables like this and some people insist on putting screws through the middle to keep it in place or screws along the perimeter. This usually causes a spider-web of cracks to appear and all the run-off to fall onto the wood and not into the gutters. Then- to fix that, they'll spray flex seal or whatever into the cracks/over the screws which never really solves anything. Any other way to affix the roofing without causing dips or cracks is infinitely better than applying patch after patch, band-aid after band-aid until you have to throw the whole panel out. Like Isacck said, this is supposed to be easy. In the first pics of this post- he's literally just over lapping a couple slats together and nothing else. Perfect!

And Issack- fantastic results. Gotta love the weight even more when it comes out of a clean/organized room

so you are saying that the panels are attached with nothing??

[issack]

Yes it's 2 table's butted together. Yes 2 foot spacing for 2x4s running down the width. 4 legs each table. 3/8 plywood.
No screws are needed at all for the panels. Just over lap and done. No leaked at all. Screwing these together is stupid in my opinion. You would just create another issue u have to deal for leaks. It flows in the gutters fine.
Hey no problem man. Glad this helps you in future plans.!!

Yes.. Just cut them with a utility knife. 4 foot long and overlap them . Done. Easy to clean up and put back in for next run

Thanks man.! My first run with this room. Next one will be better. I had some hight issues with the 1000s. I'm leaving them all the way up and lowering my tables about 6 inches. Got some mean light burn on some of them . Still hoping I pulled 12 elbows or more. We shall see.

Shiiiit! Setting up a 3kw with these tables in my room that will soon be my 6kw, I have a 5kw goin in another room that is a bit smaller. The 5k is my first real grow besides the 2k i pulled down a couple months ago. I'll be happy with .5gpw with this organic soil/ nectar for the gods run but my next 3k is gonna be soil fed Veg+ bloom, would do coco but clones are in soil already. then switch that room to all coco. The 5k room will be a little trickier to outfit but we will see, thinking switching it to 4k DE's to make configuration easier. Whenever I talk to someone and they try to give me advice I always think "but do you pull 1gpw??" lots of people have"tips" but dont really know shit about growing. I think I know more about certain aspect s of growing than some old fukers that have grown for years because I've been on here and other sites and read books but they have not haha.Looks like you're one of the people I WILL listen to about growing because clearly you've got the shit down. long rant, off topic, mas dabs por favor cheers

You can plug those clones that are in soil right in the coco. I did that with this last run I posted. Broke off a lot of the soil and planted them right in.
Strains bro. Having big fat harvests are all in the strains. And of course having your room and feeds dialed in.
This was my first time doing the " coco trees" method. Low EC and every 2 hours feed with slight run off once roots are established and they are drinking. I'll never go back to anything else now that I have tried it. It's amazing. I never went over 900ppm. Kept it simple. This was done with Floranova and I added OG biowar beneficial microbe tea's with every feed. Also foliar spray every week. No root afids ever. And I even beat russet mites at the beginning of this grow.. can say enough good shit about that product.
The more and more I become more simple with my grows, the more weight I'm getting. I've tried a lot of different nute lines. And I just keep going back to Floranova.. if it's not broke don't fix it. Simple strategies and you will prevail. If one over thinks and keeps adding what they think is the miracle juice then things start going down hill IMO.
Simple feeds. Low EC. Every 2 hours. Climate temps and humidity at light's out dialed in. And a GOOD STRAIN.!! Is the winning factor.
