The white room looking sweetoooooooo
Like the cages around those verts. Great idea.
Are your fans that sit below for blowing straight up on the verts.?
Whens the move in date?
Looks more like a DIY UC than a MPB, but I like it. I think that it has a better chance of running well as a UC style anyhow. Cages on the lights are a good idea. Have you wet tested it yet?

just realized those are your pics? or maybe they are with a different user name, but
looks good man
since your starting your veg in the room, I will suggest switching to over head lighting until your plants are 2ft tall, then go back to vertical lighting, otherwise veg takes a very long time with vertical lighting in this situation
Start them high, and move them down daily, within 4-5 days you would be able to get them 2ft or so, but its always best to avoid shock at all cost
plants just seem to veg really slow from vertical lights when they are tiny, should speed up your veg time a couple weeks easy with the overhead
good luck bro
We have a fish tank smell in our main reservoir... is this normal or something we should be concerned about? It's been there since about day 2 of filling the system and running it. We've done a flush and it is still there....
Thanks,

I looked but didn't see where you mentioned if you're running a sterile or organic approach in your RDWC. If you're running sterile, then hit it with H2O2because that's definitely an organic sort of smell. On the other hand, if you're running organic nutrients that could also be the source of the odor.
In my RDWC, I run DM zone at bottle recommended strength, not quite the minimum but not maximum either. I also do preventative dosing of H2O2 occasionally. I use JRPeters nutrients, and nothing organic in the water. If it smells fishy, I dose it with H2O2, or dump it and start fresh.
Everyone's setup is an individual, I'm hoping to learn from yours with an eye toward following in your footsteps with my next buildout!
I don't have any experience with physan 20, but I've used several other methods;
1. Serenade- this is a live bacterial culture spray, designed to eat the PM. It's best if you spray it before the PM starts taking over. It's stinky...
2. Potassium bicarbonate- this acts just like baking soda to raise the pH of the leaves you're spraying it on, to make them inhospitable for the PM to grow. Again, it works best if you get on it early. Bonus; this adds potassium to your plants, which is a nutrient.
3. Eagle 20- this is not organic, but it's the most effective. Mix according to instructions (a little goes a long way!), and spray on the plants thoroughly drenching them, like you do with the above options. This stuff nails the PM and it stays gone. The MSDS says it can be used on food crops up to a couple days before harvest, but I would try not to use it past the first week or so of bloom, and preferably you want to have it eradicated long before then!
ttystikk, ended up picking up a pre-mixed organic tea to spray on the plants, it was home brew, inexpensive and the guy swore by it. Powdery mildew has been going around big time this year, he had it and this took care of it so we'll see. They have a potassium bicarbonate product there as well and PM wash but no eagle 20 in town. We'll give this a couple days and see if it comes back, have some options so I'm happy and optimistic... Thanks for all the info and I'll have some pics coming soon!

One more thing about PM to keep in mind; it's an adaptable little bitch to get rid of. I would keep several different weapons in your arsenal to deal with it and rotate between them so it doesn't get a chance to build resistance.
