20 light, 25 plant, Screen of Green

[BC farmer]

Hi Everyone,

We are about two weeks away from planting stage and thought I start the thread to show the progress.
We will be growing a Srog with 25 plants in 5 troughs which we are about to finish. Medium will be Coco+Perlite for three of them and Pro-Mix+amendments for the other two.

Here is what's inside;

20x600W digital ballasts

5 Ton AC split unit with built in UV light, humidity control and heat.

Dehumidifier

CO2

RO Water with UV

Food will be GH

I like idea that you are working with.
I have been playing with rows like that and scrog.
I like a trellis per tote, you could do 1 bigass trellis per row maybe.
I did a 3' wide trellis for each bay that was 3 1/2' wide, from the home depot 6" grid from the concrete section.
I then bent the ends 90 degrees to form upright wings.
That way, horticultural trellis could be strung across the top of the wings to provide that essential 2nd layer of support for fatty colas that will want to fall down.

With a 6" gap between each scrog screen, it made it possible to slide them out of the way to access overhead reflectors more easily.

I do believe that a supported or trellised plant will on average produce more than an unsupported one.
I do like the idea of rows of tubs on a platform that is on casters. Easier to slide things to the side to access overhead, but yet a relatively continuous scrog to be lit when rows are arranged back together.
Your rows may be too heavy, but maybe could move well enough with a grip of casters.
I also intend to add low-wattage lighting in the areas between plants, under the scrog screens, to chunk up bottom and side buds, add premium weight, and cut down on the popcorn.
I really like the practice of tiling the top of the medium with reflectix, then affixing reflectix between the containers to form a reflective floor a foot or so below the metal screen. Airflow must be more carefully managed, but the benefit of having that reflective surface so close to the canopy is more weight, and better undersides due to higher light values down there.

Exciting work. May I ask how you settled on your choice of lamp wattage?

Good to see you got a new thread going for this new room! I could tell from those first early shots in your other thread that this would be massive and quality! Good luck getting everything in the build finished out and getting plants in there to rock and roll! Sub'd
