Wanted your opinions as I start this venture.

Using 8 x 600 watt and 1 x 1000 watt.

Top feed hydro.

Scrog method.

Anyone familiar with B ubble B arry? I cloned it from a friend who says its really good. I found some info online, but has anyone grown this on here that knows?

Also I think I might have violated something in my apartment contract, what do you guys think? :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

I ran the ballast into next room for heat reasons.

I really want to try advanced nutes this time, but i'm familiar with the botanicare line, so im probably just going to stick with that.

I pulled the washer dryer to get to the 220 power source, and getting cold air via the exhaust vent from the dryer.

I'm venting with a 10inch fan through a charcoal filter and ozone generator, into my heating duct. I hope I wont have a issue with smell, or have to live with too strong of a ozone smell in the place. Any opinions on this?
(I will update the intake and exhause system with pics, when it's done.)


I have some photo's for you, and will keep you guys updated.

Thanks,

Comercial.

awesome. yeah pretty sure youve violated many codes in different fields but this is freakin sweet. please keep up us up to date with pics along the way im definitely staying tuned. interested in light bill cost? and want to see pics of a harvest from all this wattage.

And definitely smell will be big time with that many plants. focus now on what youd do if current setup doesnt work but it sounds like youve already thought it out. I know what you mean about living with ozone smell, i had my entire floor of my building smelling like it, its really an undescribable smell, and im sure noone can really imagine a machine is producing it in my apartment but im venting outdoors now to be safe.

I want to vent outside, but there is no way unless I run ducting all the way up stairs. So for now im planning on pumping back through the heat ducting.

daaaaaaaaamn..... 66 plant scrog is gonna yield a lot of bud, man :weed:


check out billybob's scrog thread if you have any questions. I think he's doing a dozen plants right now that he's a few weeks into flower with... and they look phenomenal...


Is that hydro or aero?

I'm definitely keeping track of this one. Keep us updated!

Hydro, top feed. I have done aero, but the pump has to be bigger. And I like top feed.

please mount your ballasts on something fire proof, you're scaring me.

could you please post more pix of the timer and outlets, closer and better shot? i have something similar i'm working on, but i'm doing it blind, and toying since i don't know wtf i'm doing with it (i think each transformer is a time delay or a relay....).

That black stuff you see under the ballast is a fire retardent. I have done it this way a few times and never had a problem. Metal would be better, but the whole thing gets hot.

I will get you a better photo.

Thanks

This is great. I cant believe your in an apartment. Your electric bill is going to be well over $500.00 every month. Im running 4 1000s and my bill was $825.00 for 1 month

in my case it would be hard; my system was home made from super heavy duty factory crates. each crate holds 18 sites. in my system, water is pumped up from a res and into the containers which are dwc, and falls from an overflow back to the res. i have a valve on a line at the bottom of each crate to drain daily for checking/altering.

Pictures would be incredibly useful if you can provide them.
