First Grow In New Room And It's All Wedding Cake

[Trustfall]

I'll put my Elite lineup against anything on the market any day of the week

What’s your elite line up? I have not seen or used a line that beats N.M. veg and early flower hands down.

Here they are today, Lights just flipped. They're growing 2+ inches a day. 3 between yesterday and today

Sorry I meant the distributors I’m high lol. My shurflo pump will do 2 (16 lines) just right but I would rather run all four trays at the same time instead of using sprinkler manifolds

I've been using the Floraflex 1" T quick disconnect open flow systems. Pretty simple to install and work with.

I'll take some pics of the 360° sprayers I use tomorrow. I use them in all our facilities. Think they cost 38 cents a piece and run extremely well without clogging. I run one per 7 gallon pot in the indoor test rooms I'm running right now, but you could definitely run two for more full coverage if you wanted to. They flow roughly a gallon every 8 minutes. I run 6- 2 minute 15 second feedings in these 72 plant rooms daily. Typically see about 18-22% total volume runoff daily

That'll be great! I'm looking forward to seeing how you run your system so I can try to figure out these issues! I have a feeling it's going to be a duh moment. Thanks again.!!

The taste in the end is what matters though

I've been using the Floraflex 1" T quick disconnect open flow systems. Pretty simple to install and work with.

ya that’s what I use, can you reccomend a pump to push through 4 flora flex at once?

LoL I hope you have a lot of head room. I would expect them to double in size at least

Anyway I can get a job in Colorado?

They already did and my ceilings are close to 10ft so I'm good and if worse comes to worse that's why you can super crop. As for a pump a 3/4 240 leader pump would work fine.

Quick update of the last 2 days and the end of week 1 flower.

The room is starting to smell amazing I cant wait till they are in full swing. Still growing 2-3 inches a day at least and doubled in size since day 1 flower.

I’m pulling up a chair, I’ll have a piece of cake please

Was wondering if you where able to take those pics by chance? It would be a ton of help.

Day number 8 of flower, start of week #2.

Everything is filling in nicely. Thinking about giving another dose of decision to slow the stretch a bit more. These things are killing it and doing great with the feedings. I got the res plumed in through the bottom now so the pump is now gravity fed just waiting on the pvc cement to dry before I fill it.

Now, keep in mind I didn't get to design these rooms from the ground up (I took the project over mid way through the first run due to some issues) so I basically used what was there (like submersible pumps, 2×4 stands for the trays, 1×1 for the trellis poles....) to keep costs to a minimum
Reservoirs have 2- 3/4 HP Coleman submersible pumps. Each pump runs half the garden (10 heads, 36 sprayers) with large filters with 120 or 80 micron filters (need to check the box)

Both 1" drops come into the room and run straight to the back while T-ing off to each tray

The runs are two tables each with an 8 drop floraflex "octobubbler" feeding each tray

As you can see I run the 1" PVC past the last head and also past the last T's going to the tables to help equalize pressure as much as possible

The runoff comes out the end of the trays to a 3/4" PVC line that I run to a collection bucket which has a sump pump with a float inside

The pump in the runoff collection bucket is the pumped into a marked barrel so I can measure volume of daily runoff

These are the 360° sprayheads I use in all my pots. The stay super clean and are under 40 cents a piece when ordered in bulk

Here's a pano of the room as of yesterday too. Had to take a screenshot because the file was too large. Hope it doesn't compress it too much

Where does one acquire those sprayers?

Where does one acquire those sprayers?

I have my purchaser for the greenhouse take care of it for me and just ship them out. I'll have to ask him. There's a possibility that you'll need to have a commercial account to get them from our source, but I'll find out the brand/model as soon as I speak with him
