hehe. yeah--I would remove that image--not sure how...
As far as room design--there are many options. If running multiple ducts outside is not an issue I would recommend at least venting the lights--unless you're not worried about a high electrical bill and bigger ACs. If you want to "go green"...
I've got the same Scarlett Fire from Organicann. Frosty! I pulled lower branches and some full plants after ten weeks but looks like many of these ladies are going 11 plus! I'm assuming it's some kind of OG cross...anyone?
Thanks JW--it is rewarding helping out people that really benefit from this incredible herb/medicine. Good luck with your current and future grows.
Still--I'm not sure about the other level thing--I've been growing for years but a lot of the guys on here make me feel like a noobie. We all...
Thanks bro. I am simply an employee of a dispensary but it is nice to be involved on a big grow. My biggest before this was half the size (16 1000s) and this 31 light set-up is a whole 'nother beast. Enjoyed the shots of your Purp from your last grow. If you can make it like that in AZ, you'll...
Sounds great Mike!
For airflow I'd say put a couple wall fans in there (or a standing fan for the tent) with the middle of the fan lined up with the bottom of the reflector. It's also not a bad idea to have a fan or two on the floor but I use a CO2 monitor at plant height and wall fans only and...
GoD: My current thought (in between cooking turkey and brussel sprouts) is to use zone-controlled split systems (not ductless) 15 tons that goes to each room as needed. That way I can still keep the rooms sealed when I need to bomb or raise CO2 levels. Need to talk to some HVAC guys about...
Definitely gonna flip those ballasts GoD!--what do you think is the best way to share the ACs though? Should I put a few registers in both rooms--like 8 tons in each and run a couple big intake fans and big exhaust fans to both? If I do the rooms 26'x24'x8' there's about 5000 cubic feet there. I...
GTD: 'preciate it. We've got a couple of noobs managing the ladies. Actually I have years of indoor experience but much to learn. My buddy has general plant/gardening experience. Right now we've got drippers to hugos at our other grow--plenty to learn about the UCs. That's why I wanted to do a...
Thanks GOD (love the acronym). I have been following your builds and really appreciate the input--especially regarding permitting.
I'm considering replacing the wood trusses on the ceiling with steel to accommodate a roof deck up there--so I'll definitely need the engineer for that...
Initial sketch for 3 side-by-side modified UCEXXLs--staggered with 60" between buckets length-wise, 42" diagonally. Has (32) trees with (31) vertical 1000w hps. Total canopy is 18' x 23' = 414sf = 75 watts per sf

Thanks CJ
I had read that somewhere about the 500 cfm per ton. That's a good reference. So the most I could vent with the 16" 4600 cfm FKD would be (3) 3 ton units. Would that work on a straight 16" exhaust through the roof. Would I need a 16" intake to match that up? passive? Does anyone do...
ok ok...I'm here in design phase. Here is the plan:
I am charged with building a permitted dispensary grow here in the Golden State. I have two or three months to design it and I'd love it if anyone with educated opinions can chime in with help and advice.
I will return the favor with pics...
I think I'll try out google sketchup--thanks SH! I've been playing with SmartDraw but had to use Snapshot to get a pic of it without the watermark. I'm too cheap to buy it but I can get my friend to hook it up.
Anyway, here's my 1st plan. 32 sites staggered with 31 1000w verts. The trees are on...
Hey St3ve,
I'm designing a UC room now too and I'm tired of killing trees (the kind you write on ;)
What program did you use to sketch up your floor plans? Is there something free and easy on the internets I could get my hands on?
Best of luck with the build!
