This is going to be so sweet, I miss growing in rockwool haha. The Gavita 1000 DE covers a 5x5 space really well, seems you would only need 6 over each of your 32' by 5' tables.

Yes sir, this will be a fun one. I think the 8 gavitas over 32’ will be perfect. People say 5x5 but 5 wide by 4’ long coverage really takes care of business. Anyhow, may your plants turn to frosty flowered monsters.

Mega Crop goes heavy with the amino chelation its pretty sweet, good chance to see how it does. In reference to the Gavita 5x5 thing I wanted to share this quote from a reputable member on here that grows in organic soil, CO2 could really crush it in this setup.

Gavita 1000 DE i grow under 215 cm ceiling (7 ft) ,5x5 tent,its perfect
for this space.. for now record in one run is 1800 grams with just
15 days of vegetation.. if i veg for longer they go over a hood..
vegetation under Gavita gives some huge rates of growth..

trick is also to shape canopy in stadium shape or bowl shape
for better yields..

I have 8 lights per table. i put them up pretty high so i don't follow the 5x5 foot print gavita suggest.

Thats 1.8 gram per watt from a 5x5 space organic sea of green 2 week veg, running only 18 of the 24 gavita DE is a 25% overall reduction on power usage and cooling as well either way will perform spectacularly, CO2 could really crush it in this setup.

This is gonna be my second run using megacrop. you can't beat the price... period. its cheaper and less work than jacks 321 without the urea nitrogen. i also use their 0-22-44 during flower.

1.8 gpw is pretty amazing... and i use co2. it's a sealed room.

DIY rolling table... i think everything cost like $2600 to make 3 tables... got the idea from miamimango from ig

2 x 275 gallon IBC tote for nutes.
1 x 100 gallon to catch AC condensation water.
Leader pump with an electronic safety device that protects the pump from dry-running

Flex pvc pipe is so awesome. I dont think i can do rolling benches or tables w/o them. As you can see i suck at plumbing... but it works. lol

A high temperature shutoff for your lights might be something that interests you in the event of an ac problem (24 gavitas could heat a room real quick...).

First true SOG with 4 plants per sq ft I`ve seen in yrs. , or is that just all the cuts rooting together while waiting to go under the Gavitas after growin some legs….regardless...Respect.....

How`s your feed setup work ?....Rolling tables makes it easy to work the plants that`s for sure....Thanks for your time and the show.....

Peace....DHF.....:ying:

They are waiting to be rooted and will be separated as they get bigger. I wish I can do sog to cut down veg time but I've never had any real success with that method. I veg for about 3 weeks or so depends on strain and health of the plant.

I do dtw. Pretty basic... I use netafim 17mm white line and netafim wood pecker 1/2 gph drippers. I'll try to add some Pic later tonight.

Rolling tables are pretty awesome. Eliminating the walkway between tables and being able to put more plants for higher yield per Sq.

I've seen a lot of big commercial growers use them. Only problem is that they cost way too much. But def worth it if you are trying to set up multiple rows. The lowest quote I got for three 5 x 32 was like 8200 dollars.
