Thanks for the kind words, its been a lot of work getting this far but it feels nice to see things working the way I planned, (so far anyways).

The second 12k room with the fast fit tray stands just got an overhaul. I dug up all the coco and built new tables out of wood and carefully dug out the monster lemon trees and transplanted them back into the newly built tables. Replaced the True og's I had to cut down with FPOG's as I couldn't save them.

Gotta snag pics but its
7 Epaps over head, 1 on a mover for the middle 25 gallon coco Starfighter trees and 4 1k's down the middle vertical.

Should be a fun setup with the best of both worlds, vert and doubled ended.

Veg rooms are almost done, 10 315's in the preveg and doing 6 Double Dpaps and 6 of the Epaps with the MH bulbs.

Working on building the other flower rooms, instead of another 24k room, doing two 12k rooms as the big room is a lot to handle for one person. Hell, 60,000 watts is a lot for one person....but I'm dedicated.

Should be a fun next few months!

Cheers!

Time is a funny thing, I call this place the twilight zone. Sometimes it seems as if 12 hour work days are a light day, its the 18 hour ones that tend to kick my butt.

As long as I get to go fishing every now and again, I'll be a happy farmer.

Have you notice while running the DE bulbs that the trees have to run on a higher EC?

I have always kept the less is more approach, I feed around 1.4 ec every watering, with runoff and they are loving life. I'll know in a few weeks how this regimen is working, but so far so good.

Aptus + base once a week and base + calmag on the other waterings and I brew a tea at least once a week.

Crazy train Bishop Billy! The Twilight Zone is alive! Your Cathedral has many disciples :)

Happy thinkin of your AC compressor kicking in and your lights blinkin :)

Love the idea about using a walk in freezer, it seems it would work just need to run uniframe on ceiling to support the weight of lights?

How are you going to do the irrigation? "Sprinkler system" with zone controls? Check this thread out

If purgatory looks like this then I'm good to go

Looks like a condensate pump.
Most likely to pump the water somewhere from his overhead dehumidifiers.

PreVeg room.

So Far I like the way the Dpap is throwing light at all angles over the Sun System LEC's.


Phillips is having trouble with the Double Dpaps so I may scratch that idea and just run 12k 1k HPS and MH's for now in the main veg...This room should be finished in a few days... Right now its just housing my moms...

Yes, uni-strut on top of the ceiling and threaded rods attached to another unistrut on the inisde on the rooms. I would basically make a grid so I could hang the air handers, dehys, lights, and anything else that I want to place on the ceiling.

Link4 is building me a custom controller to control the entire warehouse via my iphone. Yes it will have a bunch of valves and zone controls, close to 75 different zones as I have 7 different res's.

Sorry I'm late...your garden is tremendous! My heart skipped a beat at the sight, from start to now. :eek:

Awe-inspiring work, I have nothing but the utmost respect. All the more success to you @Billyboat!

What do you mean? Philips? Hit me up brother, I have alternatives for you. I can get you exactly the same fixture from a different entity.
