Thanks for the shout out, bro! My knowledge is borrowed; I pay it forward every chance I get.

Nice big space like that, I would consider four 8' x 8' tents with 5kW of bare vert thouies around four trees per tent, in big tubs, like the 27 gallon ones I just built. Pic below. I would have each tent run a separate four tub RDWC, so you can customize the nutrient strength and mix for each batch of plants. Each tent should ideally have its own light controller, so you can shave 15 minutes a week off your day length. It helps the power bill, and it seems to help mine ripen nicely. Each tent should have its own environmental control as well, so atmospheric conditions and CO² can be tailored for that batch of plants at every point in its flowering process.

Run your clones in a tent big enough for both them and a 'bullpen' area, mine is a 3 x 3 table I keep enough moms, starters and little plants to be able to put together a batch. That batch would then go to a larger veg tent- and this is the one that will allow you to grow trees on a schedule without ever waiting out a veg period; put three stages of veg in a 4 x 8' tent, two ebb n flood and the last stage an RDWC similar to those in the bloom rooms- the sites can be smaller since they're still relatively little plants at this stage.

I've just walked you through a four way perpetual grow that will be less work and more return than most other approaches. Breaking things up will not cost you yield; if each of those tents puts out just a lb per plant, that's 16 lbs per full cycle- I run my cycle at 16 days, to give a full bloom length of 64 days, or 9 weeks. Others run different. For a reasonable goal of two pound plants, that's 8 pounds every 16 days, set your watch and hire some trimmers to work full time!

I started with a ton of 1" bulkhead fittings years ago and I've built and reconfigured at least a dozen different layouts, and I know why things worked- or didn't. I found one does not need 3" pvc pipe to move water to grow plants, it just needs to be clog resistant.[/quote ]thanks tty. was wondering would you you design a room like this? 8by8?

Here's a couple pics of the 27 gallon / 100 liter tubs I've turned into growing sites. Notice that the two bulkhead are offset from one side to the other. This is my attempt to create a current in the tub that should help reduce the incidence of roots or debris clogging these lines, while at the same time promoting better nutrient and dissolved oxygen delivery to the plants.

The lid is offset for several reasons, including strength and flexibility of setup and spacing options. I built all these in mirror image left and right hands, an idea I've trademarked, specifically to simplify setup, refits and customization.
