Hello farmers!
It has been far too long since I have posted on the forums. Job/career changes, yada yada yada, I have been busy I guess.
Anyway, currently I am running flood trays filled with hydroton fed by a recirc system. It works pretty well, but the plants stay smaller and I need more of them. Problem is I can only have up to twelve plants and want to go larger on the plants, not the count. I used to run a recirc dwc system and had great success but wanted to see what else was out there for dwc, and of course I ended up at the UC section of the farm. I decided to go diy style and really revamp some of the ideas from the UC but the premise of the system remains the same.
Now, I am acquiring materials to build my four plant system, and within about a months time I will have clones cut and ready for the system. I love watching the journals and builds that are already posted on the farm and figured I would add one more, day one build, all the way to the end of the first grow. Below are the specs of the grow room and future system.
Room:
183" wide, 65" deep, 96" ceiling
Window A/C
Tank fed CO2, controlled by Atlas 2 from Titan
1/4 hp chiller (yet to be purchased)
20 gallon trash cans for the plant buckets
20 gallon controller res
10" net pot bucket lids filled with hydroton
2" pvc feed circulation tubes
3/4" pvc return tubes
600gph inline return pump
Four coke can size air stones in each bucket
Two 70l per minute air pumps, each pumping two buckets
One 25l per minute air pump for controller
50 pt dehumidifier (yet to be purchased)
Four 1000 watt conv ballast
Four air cooled reflectors being vented at all times during daylight
R/O water (unit yet to be purchased)
Undecided what I will use for nutes, leaning between h&g, cs, and dm gold
First strain to hit the system will be gorilla glue #4
That's where I am farmers, will take some pics of the pile of supplies and build plans, can't wait to see it all start.
