Need help with 16k grow room

KAL EL · Mar 13, 2013

I have a room that I am going run 2 UC systems in. Each one under 8 horizontal lights. I want to run co2.
I am not sure about what i need. Should the air pumps and reservoirs be outside the room?
My goal is to average 1.5 to 2 per light. I had wanted 4 buckets per light, is this ideal?
Thanks.

Bump-a-lump, and howdy, Kal.

How many site UC's?

How big is the room? is it sealed? a/c?

4 buckets a light is settin them on 25" centers

Air pumps outside the room

Reservoirs and epicenter doesn't really matter except for chillin purposes or access

Hey TK.
I believe the room is 25x22. It has AC and sealed.
Not sure if I should run 2 or 4 buckets per light.

Ive got a room about that size and it would be jammin with 16k in it..

2 buckets per 1k with a 3 row setup of 12 buckets in a row on 25" centers

I would do this one at roughly 8' x 21' right in the middle of the room..that way you can walk all the way around it and have room for trees...9k horizontal and a pile of (6-10) 600w for vert lighting

Get ya decent chiller

The lights are already bought.
No vertical. I want each UC system under 8 lights.
I am going to run one strain per system.

What's a good co2 generator size for that room?
What's a good uv light for the air?

I would do (2) 16 sites side by side on 25" centers

8 or 13 gallon?

Texas Kid · Mar 14, 2013

I use both but I would probably get the 8 gallon ones

Im used to pulling 1.5 to 2 per light with 4 plants rdwc. 12 years hydro experience.
I imagine I should be able to do same with 2 plants per light.

I never used co2 before. Can anyone tell me a good co2 generator?

Yeah, the best one is the GrowGPS. It's a commercial burner and it's for use with Nat Gas, and should be installed by a professional. I run a bunch of them connected in a series, all connected to the CHHC-4 Brain. It has 10 burners, and you can choose to turn on 2, 5 or 10, to keep heat down in your space. It's called the

VCG-27 Variable CO2 Generator

http://grow-gps.com/products/co2-equipment/

Your space is small - you will only need one VCG-27.

HOWEVER - It's sold out indefinitely, and the people at GrowGPS that you reach on the phone are not helpful at all...so call around to all your local shops and see if anyone has one laying around, cause the model has been out forever - otherwise you can get the one from HydroFarm, which works fine too - I have one, it's good, you just can't adjust the # of burners that are on to keep heat low, but it does the job.
