Sooo I'm jumping back into a room and wanted to get some feedback before I proceeded.
Room is a 10x14 with a little over 10' in height
Fully sealed room with split unit a/c
50lb c02 tank with monitor
Will be running three 3'x6' trays
Drain to waste and stacking two 6x6 grodan cubes
I have access to gavitas. The dimmable 1000 w units. I want to run 9 with 3 being over each tray.
I realize this is alot of of light but I want zero dark over each tray.
On to questions for discussion...
Stacking rockwool? I've always done hydroclay 5 gallon DTW setups and I've always had amazingly strong and dense root zones I dont want to sacrifice root zone and I can run the tables about 1.25 feet off the ground maybe even able to get it down to 1 foot exact to aid in the higher plant base height with stacked cubes. It just makes sense to me. Any reasons to not stack and perhaps just jump to the 8x8x8 grodan cubes?
Plant count- I'm thinking 16 plants per 3x6 tray two rows of 8, I will be using trellis netting so I can train them to efficiently use the entire tray space. Not enough plants? I could do two rows of ten keeping the width tighter but the space between each row would be still be adequate and I could train each row to focus more branches to fill the center up properly. Still not enough? Any ideas for arrangement? New to using just rockwool and the whole close quarters spacing but I'm also not scared to veg the lower plant counts out longer to achieve a full sog canopy.
My specialty is organic soil and I like bigger plants/lower plant count in my soil rooms when I flip to keep the hand water time down. - sorry back to business -
light count/power levels
I like the idea of 3 lights per tray that will ensure that there is not one single inch of dark space over each tray but I realize 3 1000w over a 3x6 tray is slightly intense... Do it and just maybe dim them down to 750 or 600 if it is a little too intense or should I just run two 1000w per tray and have the little bit of dark spots at the edge of each tray?
Any info/input is helpful. Just trying to make sure I cover every aspect before proceeding
