water-proofing lids
water-proofing lids
if you want to use cholorplast its a great option - cleaner, lighter, easier to saw cons = flimsy, costly
grab your cock, and cock a bead around every hole.
use gloved hands to spread your cock around evenly lol
once your cock is smoothed and stroked, lay over the vapor barrier on it

water-proofing lids
once you roll the v.b. over one side, cut it in half on the fold and roll that peice over the other table.
make sure they are placed good, or you muck up all the work you did with your cock
once placed nice and flat, purge all the air out of the cock with the v.b. to get a nice seal, cure for 24 hours.
nake extra sure that the lids were cleaned from any dust or dirt. your cock really needs to stick to the lid/v.b. equally

water-proofing the beds
water-proofing the beds
just roll out more v.b. leaving 8 inches over each table on each length
use a microfibre duster to make sure they are clean clean clean. they are charged like most palstic, so they attract anything that is light enuff to float and stick to it
take the folded edge, and square it up to its rightfull edge on the width, then crease the v.b. at the osb/2x6 joint. it should fall into place easy, wont need much coaxing
once the 1 corner is perfect, tack it on top with a couple staples, then coax a new crease down one length and crease the other width. tack more staples on the new corner then work back to the first tacked corner. repeat down the last length then make sure there are staples tacked every 2-4 fet the whole way around
MAKE DAMN SURE THE V.B IS PERFECTLY FLAT IN THE BED. OR ELSE THERE WILL BE WATER FLOW/ROOT ISSUES. NO CREASES ARE ACCEPTABLE FOR THE WHOLE BED. IF YOU PLACE THE V.B. IN PERFECT, YOU WONT HAVE TO WORRY. IF YOU GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF THEN BIG WAVES OF V.B. WILL FORM FROM TENSION IN THE BED. THIS WILL NOT WORK. TAKE YOUR TIME WHILE PACING THE V.B. IT TOOK ME 5 MIN TO DO EACH BED

i like t use the v.b. roll as a counterweght to make sure the v.b. doesnt shift around as there is much play , maybe 1/2 on each side.
the v.b. has to be square with the risers to work perfect. you do not want the v.b. to be sliding in the bed all over. waves or tears or punctures can happen. when unrolling the v.b. over the tables. just make sure its even on both sides of the table, so when it sinks in it does it evenly
cut a small x into the drain hole

med-man
the small x you cut for the drain, just spread open gently with your hand shaped like a cone. the deeper it goes in, the more it slowly spreads open
next place lids righ side up
tables are wet proofed

final bed note
final bed note
this is what i mean about even and flat
you want the whole risers, tops included covered by v.b.. even the whole way down.
it also need to be flat ass hell so roots grow massive, amd water flows unobstructed

securing the lids
securing the lids
i tack a screw on every corner of every lid along the highest length of the tables
the lids and beds now are covered in v.b. which will make a small slip factor
tacking 1 side will allow for chamber/root inspection while leaving no room for error and slippage throughout the grow cycle

roll out your 10 foot wide panda poly
cut in half and share the length between both tables
cut out a perfect hole for the air duct
cut a 3 inch double x for the baskets : leave and inch to the actual hole so the baskets spread the poly to deal the exposed wood from the saw. savey?

- i put 12 600 with adjustawings over the tables, 6 per side
evenly spaced
- so bright with the reflective material, its like a bare bulb room
- 2 benefits i love about my tables is the physical work is so easy being up high, the second is you get your whole space to store stuff. even non growing stuff

Coming along nicely,tempting me to pull out the tray's!k+
planting day!
planting day!
alright yall
i just miuxed a rez of r/o water
50% lighting even bulbs for 1 day/ odd bulbs for 1 day and so on placed top of the ceiling for 1st week (panda poly is bright)
humidty 75%
temp 70 constant
added .2 ec of kind cal/mag
and 1.2 ec of kind base
5.5 ph to start (let drift to 6.2 then drop to 5.5)
1200gph mixer pump
750gph feed pump
top off with hydroton. triple rinsed. keep flow on blast till they are all in for a nice soak. once they are all planted and soaked nice, trun drip line down to a slow stream, about 50% off
i like to try to plant when they need to be fed daily. its a great sign they wont wilt once under the drip line. which will happen for premature plants, but thats fine you will just miss a couple days of growth
med-man method - select the best 50% of all the preveggers based on size/vigor/root mass
