Neo is good, but so is Conan!!

Now this one is going to be fun.....
Take the Red Pill, and come along for the ride.

Here's a quick breakdown of the parts and rooms:

Each room is 20'Lx10'Wx10'H and will hold 8 x 1000WDE Gavita lights. There will be a 5-Ton A/C for each room along with a 32-site Double Barrel Current Culture System, a 1HP Chiller, Water-cooled CO2 supplementation, oscillating fans, and a top-up reservoir.

I'm going to try and explain everything as I go along but if there's any other questions, feel free to ask.

Here's the area before getting started:

And here is a bunch of the parts, just waiting to be installed:

Wow your not fucking around smith gonna be good

Adrift · 01-19-2012, 07:05 AM

everything sounds great!!! one question tho...

dont you think 2, 5 tons is a bit over kill ???

ur only cooling 8 lights with each 5 ton right???

unless you already have them, or plan to add more lights

you could def go a bit smaller, which im sure you already know, just curious is all!

later!

"Fucking around" isn't something I do.

The 5-Tons of cooling was done intentionally for two reasons.

1. I'd rather have a 5-Ton that barely has to work at all than a 3 or 4-Ton that has to work all the time.
2. I plan to add more lights eventually.

So, as we get started, things need to be cleaned first and crap cleaned up off of the walls for framing to get started:

And once everything is clean, framing could begin. Sorry I don't have a lot of pics of the framing going up, when you have a lot of Smith's running around, work tends to get done fast

Good luck with the spot, Smith. Tagging up for the show.

moving right along, Here's the electrical boxes going in and wiring being ran to them all. The wiring for each room consists of 2 x 20 Amp 120V circuits and 2 x 30 Amp 240V circuits. The 240V breakers can be upgraded in the future to run more lights without having to upgrade the wiring. Just switch out the breakers and the controllers and presto! Double the lights

Here is the Main panel after I pulled out a bunch of garbage wiring and cleaned it up a bit

And here it is all wired up and ready to rock!
