The subfloor you mentioned is the way to go. Like we talked about earlier it solves the res issue and it also solves the drain issues very nicely.

I would consider a feed from the bottom with the subfloors?

Here is why: You could put the feed smack dab in the middle of the tub, perhaps disbursed by a ebb and flow screen fitting? I dunno, anyway it would make res changes a little easier getting 100% of the old shit outta the tub. As it is right now, i have about a gallon of nutes left in the bottom and to get that out means lots of flushing..

The thing to keep in mind with the subfloor needs to be the height of your res, plus 4 inches on the side it feeds into the res and about 5 inches plus on the other side ofr down slope. I think your looking in the 22-24 inch area, with access and such built in.

A big issue I have had is getting a big enough res. They seem to be 100 gallons and i need about 110 gallons for all 4 of my buckets to circulate, be happy and leave room for their drinking binges.. Botanicare makes some nice ones but your looking at 330 ish for the lid and res.. Its also taller than i'd like..

Widowmaker - great job with the piping! I really like the 2 reses. For that many plants there is no reason for it to all be in one huge system! Its probablly better split up every so many tubs just to minamise $$ loss if you get say root rot in one system... (dunno why you would, im just saying :)

We don't have no stinking root rot, were chillin! ;D

You could run a different strain that might have different nute and water uptake. Makes moving stuff a little easier.

I just bought the totes.
So I can now line them out like they will be.
Much easier on the brain and less likely to build to small.

I kinda like this plumping. What do you all think?

Lost · Jan 22, 2010

IMO the piping looks great.

I might have to copy that for my other room!

easypleasie · Jan 22, 2010

That's how I imagined running the plumbing for that setup. Keeps things really simple!

Widowmaker · Jan 22, 2010

Got too much time time on my hands!!

Bossman, Tried to draw your latest design with 40” centers and it is too tight, only 4” between the tubs. This drawing shows a 40” centers and 24” by 32” tubs turned 45 degrees. The center three plants should be the monsters because they are surrounded by 4 lights.

Yep definitely to tight with that updated design. Scale down a smidge:)

Been a machinist for 14 years>>>>I have Surfcam Velocity 4 a CAD CAM software:) I gonna play with some sketches and see what I come up with

Widowmaker, what do you come up with when you put them on say 52 inch centeres and 14-15 foot room width?

:)

Lost · Jan 23, 2010

Im just thinking about the 1500's and that the spacing will need to increase a bit :)

Sure, later today. How big around are your plants getting? Are you topping them?

Beautiful, thanks!

You'll probably gain a little space in the middle if you push the tubs closer to the walls. Not getting a lot of light from the back side anyways.

The last diagram looks sick! Good job widow!

BOSSMAN88188 · Jan 26, 2010

I am confused.
I just set up my tub's in the 21x14 space I have.
And there is plenty of room and that is with 46 in center's and 36 inch from center of tub to wall. So I made up a couple of sketches and did some reading.
Am I missing something?
I beleive DD said he ran 12 and this is the space he said he uses.
(my room dimensions is 30 x 25ft with a 10 x 10ft room cut out of that for res's, ballasts and chillers

Pic 1 is of the 10 tub's set up.

Pic 2 & 3 dif light pattern's.
TIA for any input.

Widowmaker · Jan 26, 2010

DD's spacing was 40" plant to plant. But for your layout because it’s turned 45 degrees, yours is 56 ½ inches if you measure from plant to plant in the same row.

So if I go 40 instead of 46 I will have evenmore room.
I am getting ready to start moving current room's and building.
I think I will just frame it out at the 21X14X9'6 and will have plenty of room to move around.
I am even considering doing 8 MPD with 15 light's.
Then growing some soil girl's on the outskirt's.
