Always loved a neat, new buildout. Keep the photos coming! Do you have your clones/juveniles vegging somewhere else or are you starting from scratch for this grow?

Will do! Yes clones came from elsewhere and should be starting veg shortly.

Got veg in today. Some clones are alittle weak. Spent a lot of time trying to dial in temp and humidity. Also got the lighting controller figured out (I think). Finally got stocked up on more nutes.

Been one week in veg. Most got topped today. Been working on ro Rez and first bloom room light layout. Nothing too exciting at this point.

How long will you typically veg? They are 1 gallon pots?
These are 5 gallons. I’m vegging for 4 weeks. They had a slow start, normally my clones set in cups for a while and become very well established. Then one gallon bags for 2 weeks before either 5 or 7 gallon pots.

Nice setup. Why did you go with 5-7 gallon pots? I would think 3 would be plenty in coco for this style.

Thank you. At another location I use 7 gallons and grow large plants with just a 4 week veg. Water twice daily to runoff. I considered using 3’s but 5 gallon gro pro pots fit perfectly in a 5 gallon bucket. I will link 5 gallon buckets together in bloom to catch runoff and drain away. If I can do it in 7’s, 5’s should work fine too.

Ok , you got me setting up my chair and grabbing some donuts for this .. interesting you dont use light hanger to lower/raise lights.
Your ceiling seems high (a good thing for long veg & growth).

Lots of space I cant wait to see in get going :tiphat:

what would the advantage of that be in a multi light setup besides extra labour nobody pays for?

I would think that lights in a flexible range or above plant height
based off your bulbs optimum distance to get the most out of your lights
without burning anything and get max yield.

Just liking your rooms and waiting to lean another way to do things.

That's the great thing about setting up a commercial grow. The more lights you use the more efficient they become in regards to light penetration.

Here's a great read by Gavita on how to set up lighting for small and commercial grows.
