Hey Fam,
I have been working on a variety of setups over the years and I am close to my finish line in my flower room.. just looking to bounce ideas around looking for positive feedback as well as playing devil's advocate for room to grow as there are always better ideas out there:
Current Culture × Athena Pro × Full Spectrum Environmental Control
Built as a true two-lane perpetual system.
16 flowering sites.
Independent reservoirs.
Shared air only.
Targeting harvest cadence every ~4 weeks.
• Dual 8-site Current Culture RDWC systems
• Separate epicenters + separate reservoirs
• 2” return plumbing
• Adjustable bucket spacing between cycles
• Dedicated trellis bulk lane
Left Lane → Mid / Late Flower (bulk phase)
Right Lane → Early Flower (stretch phase)
Independent EC curves per lane.
No shared nutrient solution.
• Dual water chillers (one per lane)
• Root zone maintained 64–66°F
• Blue Diamond 60 air delivery
• AL-60 air delivery
• 200 GPD RO system
• Sterile root protocol (PAA)
High dissolved oxygen.
Clean uptake.
Stable root environment.
Primary Canopy:
• Fohse PISCES 700W
• Fohse PISCES 700W
• Fohse 900W
• Photontek 1000W
Under / Inter-Canopy:
• Craft Farmer LED bars
UVA:
• Gavita UVA
• HLG UVA
UVB:
• California LightWorks UVB
Lighting control:
• AC Infinity AI+ controlling primary fixtures
• Inkbird controllers handling environmental devices
• Saving for TrollMaster integration to centralize full-room automation
UVA deployed mid-flower.
UVB reserved for late-flower stress window only.
• Mini-split HVAC
• Phoenix 250 dehumidifier
• CO₂ supplementation
• High-output oscillating airflow
• Inline exhaust system
Tight VPD control.
Independent lane feeding.
Shared atmospheric management.
Athena Pro Line:
• Athena Pro Grow (veg + transition use)
• Athena Pro Core
• Athena Pro Bloom
• Athena CalMag
• Athena PK (early/mid phase)
• Athena Fade (finish phase)
• Silica (early only)
Bulk lane ~2.0–2.2 EC
Stretch lane ~1.5–1.7 EC
Architecture locked.
Dual-lane control.
Full-spectrum strategy.
Refinement phase engaged.
