IME depending on the pest life cycle it may be longer to kill it.I was considering segregating my final soil plants into a tent two floors above the grow room and letting the finish there with one Mars light so I can bleach & begin hydro in the actual grow room. Is it feasible as an idea? Isn’t it highly unlikely for airborne pests go back to the original room if it stays empty for like a week?
depends on what height you pumping, and what diameter pipeI was wondering if that pump (listed at 10ft lift) would be able to get it out considering I’ll have to get it up a set of cellar steps? That plus 60’ of hydro flow vinyl tubing should be good right? I feel like it’s too easy and I’m missing a connector piece or something, is there anything you add to keep the tubing attached?
Yeah the original grower cut most of it out. Not sure why the strip was left though (I’ve asked to make sure there wasn’t a reason it was left in - apparently the reason was laziness, lol)rip that carpet out brother, not good for humid rooms
I was thinking 1/2” since those are cheaper than the 1” but I am ready to adjust my shopping list. That’s why I’m here after all.depends on what height you pumping, and what diameter pipe

wood also become easier to clean after a painting
when i pump with my 3600l/h 71w pump through 3/4 pipe the solution only goes 6ft up reliably. using 1/2'' though it goes over 7ft wall to tank probably 8th comfortably as well. i would consult the manual that came with pumpI was thinking 1/2” since those are cheaper than the 1” but I am ready to adjust my shopping list.

As for height, I’m thinking it looks like 8ft, but haven’t measured. Doesn’t look abnormally big or small for cellar steps (the thinking was take it right out the storm cellar and to the yard)
Thank you for the heads up! I’ve never had to deal with moving water this way so I appreciate your experience. That tells me a 1/2” probably sounds better since I’d need the extra push.when i pump with my 3600l/h 71w pump through 3/4 pipe the solution only goes 6ft up reliably. using 1/2'' though it goes over 7ft wall to tank probably 8th comfortably as well. i would consult the manual that came with pump
if you are pumping to that height go with a pump that is rated at least 15-30% over that, you are only getting the numbers printed on the label on some of the products. if they do deliver stated performance you can always use flow control or add a inline valve to reduce pressure. if you are increase pipe/ tubing diameter you are looking at going well beyond 30% increase but more to double rated height.Thank you for the heads up!

Luckily I haven’t bought a pump yet, wanted to be sure it would work.
I found a 1150 GPH which still has a 1/2” thread so I’m thinking that sucker will do the trick much better than the first one I posted!if you are pumping to that height go with a pump that is rated at least 15-30% over that, you are only getting the numbers printed on the label on some of the products. if they do deliver stated performance you can always use flow control or add a inline valve to reduce pressure. if you are increase pipe/ tubing diameter you are looking at going well beyond 30% increase but more to double rated height.
this is great we have a similar project currently in progress, both the mother/autos room and the flower/auto room is 188sqft. not all of the space is being utilized for growing so we are doing 74 plants total.We have a large room divided in two (one for autos & veg, seen here, and on the other side of the wall is a small space for blooms) which has always done soil based. However based on recent problems & yields I’ve finally decided to go hydro like my dad has wanted for a long time.
which system are you interested in? do you want to go coco/rockwool with drip system, dwc/rdwc, aquaponics, nft, aeroponics?My first quandary is what sort of system will give us a similar size? Most that I have seen are small, 4-6 for a grow tent usually, but our room obviously is made for quantity. So first question is what sort of hydro system could I get that would run large numbers of plants? Would it be more feasible to just buy multiple small systems?
That’s my whole grow room. It’s just an amazing change! Picture dirt all over the floor and a plywood/cardboard wall to separate veg & bloom. I’ve been cleaning like a beast for weeks. It isn’t divided yet, it’s almost like it’s back in its original form. Back to its natural state!what are we looking at with the last picture you posted? the shelf for clones? is it a mother room or will you flower in there as well.

how many plants are you looking to grow and what space do you have to do so?

Ah no, sadly not.You own a welder or know someone that does?
Ah apologies, that question is actually in reference to my new project. I’m after designing a senior tent as well, so the height addition I’m looking for is to prevent too much bending and stooping over. It’s going to be as simplified as I can so he’s just starting with 4 large Eazy pyramids with some self waterers, resting on a tray. Initially I thought DWC but opted for the pyramids to make it easier to use & have next to no maintenance. Since its over a 7’ tall tent we have the room to yield 2’ to height for the sake of his comfort.I was just thinking the welded steel would be more stable and less expensive than milk crates(where i stay milk crate are super expensive your scenario might be diferent). But i never asked what hydro system you decided to go with
You could run shelves of 2x6 [however many you need] on stacks of concrete blocks..
Done many heavy aquarium stands same way.
