I could. I could also just come up with a better design altogether.
Yo Tystik you ever see that big black contraption a few years back it was a block reservoir that had plants on top rotating on gears .... Not sure if it had DWC set up but I remember seeing it at a grow expo. You could prolly reverse engineer it
You know the on I'm referring? If so what did you think?
The one I was referring to is hydro recirculating ....containers and gear they are on have holes that let the water drain back into res that gears are on any whoo jus shooting the shit peace!
Well I've only seen it once and no one had ordered it or mentioned anything of it in the last five years three of which I worked at a hydro shop and attending all those grow expos etc....
8x 8 = 4 trees @ 48" OC... thats the minimum you want. Then drop 5 1k bare verts around them so each one is getting hit on 3 sides. You can hit 2+ per plant with the right strain.
Yup, yup and tell me exactly where those 5 verts should go? I'm going for that 2 lb number...

It was a self-serving post of mine (the video of the motorized Lazy-Susan). Thanks to an airplane crash, I'm looking toward my 4th Lumbo-Sacral vertebral surgery and I'm only 50 yrs old. Anything I can do to minimize the manual movement of 20gal containers of dirt in my indoor garden, I will do. I hail from a region where state law currently limits the grower's number of plants (motivating growers to maximize yield from each plant). I should say, I would examine anything reasonable to help me move stuff. Committee based state rules & regs can always change.
One in the middle, and then make a plus sign with the other 4...
Rather then double stacking you can use 4 lights around one plant and one horizontal light on top. Another method I have thought of is 6 lights around one plant in a hexagon pattern. Every other bulb could be 6 or so inches higher than the others. Would love to see someone do this! I will eventually. Here is an old picture I drew up last year. It states 3 lbs on it but now I'm hitting that with only 4 lights per plant. With 6 lights per plant you could break 5 maybe 6 pounds. You would also want and need a horizontal light on top.
So if I understand you correctly, I should NOT place my bulbs in the corners of the room? My plan was to leave the bulbs in their reflectors but take the glass out. Then, place the reflectors in each corner of the room at about 5' in height, or 4' above their bucket, and angle them about 45 degrees towards the middle of the room. The idea was to utilize the reflector to push more light, use the height to keep it from creating a hot spot and still generate big lumens on the leaves as the plant grows. The girls going in are already 30" tall!
If that's the case, there is a lot of dark space around half the circumference of each plant, or does proximity between plants and verts make up for that?
The lights and the plants have the same distance between centers. think checkerboard. Lights on center red and plants on center black. I think you put the holes in the wrong place in the lids, or you may need to move things around a bit to get your spacing right.
Each plant should be getting hit by 3 sides of light the dark side will be the side facing the corner of the room.
Yup, yup and tell me exactly where those 5 verts should go? I'm going for that 2 lb number...

how much longer till those are filled with plants?? lets grow:)
Okay, I finally figured out my phone well enough to use it to post up simple notes. Does the following diagram express your idea correctly?View attachment 333270
hella wall fans or ceiling fans. You can work all you want until week 5 of flower. then you can force your way through the jungle if you have too. What are your room dimensions?
