2 rooms cleaned. Floors panda'd. Not going to do the entire walls, will probably just run a 5' strip around the room at plant height.
Played around with the Evo layouts. Debated whether to extend it lengthwise by 12" or not, but I'm going to leave it stock 25" on center to leave my big ass enough room all around the system. I've got 1.25" PVC furniture fittings (3-way side outs) to make a heavy duty screens. Planning on 6" holes.
Insulated the UC tubs, positioned it out on the floor, marked where the lights are going to hang. Need to mount eyehooks, wire up cordsets and mount reflectors on the 6" cooltubes and hang them. Still have to muscle the system together too.
I think for the other room I will be using something on par with magnum XXL's, but will see what the footprint looks like with the tubes first. I envision the XXL's would be edge to edge.
Have a few more bits coming today, plus a HD (first of many) run is necessary for various goodies.
Need to pick up can 125 or 150 filters, 8" vortexes for the lights and a horticontrol LF-4 flip box.
Can 12" 1700cfm will be installed on the filters (recirculating) for odor control. 1200cfm fans are mounted and attached to a CAP Air-2 which is ducted outside for environmental control.
I need to work out how to deal with the vented lights, not sure I can/want to punch another hole to the outside. I am debating whether or not to blow the heat in to the respective 'flop' room and let the environmentals of that room move the warm air out while keeping the room during the 'night' from dipping down too much. It would help with humidity control during 'lights out' too by sending in warm dry air.
Or I could blow it in to the 'open space' and deal with it there.
Intake for the lights will come (filtered) through the floor.
Hoping to knock out piping (PVC or PEX) directly from the water filters to the epicenters auto-topoffs (no res tanks, yeah!) and suss out and run the chiller manifold/res setup for 2 cool coils some time this week. I've got a 2400GPH pump and ranco controller for this setup. Going to use 1" in/1.25" out PVC for the coil manifold to have required pressure drop and keep in/out flow even.
I ~want~ to run a PVC drain line from both rooms to ease res changes, but may just use mobile hose reels instead.
I am going to redo the veg set up after I get them transplanted in to the UC.
Will pipe in an auto-topoff in to the E&F table res from the water filter, will also be swapping out the 400MH for a 'test' 600MH (yes, 600MH not a conversion bulb).
Future goals:
9 site EVO under 2k (dimmable) for veg
4 zone mini-split (12k+12k+9k+9k - 2 flower rooms, 2 veg rooms)
Nute/pH and environmental management via Pur-Gro (everything but the drain and fill)
