Those changes all added up for you sketch. bigger hoods = cooler. Lolli,super longer veg all contributed. But More light is the winner IMHO. 50 watts per sq is a good startin point. My flower room numbers are around 80 watts.

1,000 watt raptors above. light movers with bare bulb side lighting? you get the grid effect without as many lights. you can also add different spectrums of light.

to me there is no ONE right way to grow. take the room + the genetics + the grower + the desired results + $$$$ = a good start

I was meaning just the addition of the hoods & light with grid boosted them from 3-4 to 5-6.. after that I started the longer veg times and so on. it's all relative tho

everything works as long as it works....? right lol sorry had to give away my last meds to a buddy trying to make simpson oil for his mom. My brain is all ADD and ADHD atm...

I dont want them in my garden.
but seriously. i dont.

i love the advertising.
air cooling is not just for cooling bulbs, or reflectors, its for removing heat from the room.
just because it is moving, does not magically make the heat go away.

Gonna keep a little thread going on my new diggs for the ladies.. thinking maybe do something like a from build to harvest err along those lines...

The Before

soon to be drying room. Building a wall to surround this closet and the room to the left.

Soon to be my 4,000 watt flower room (witch will hopefully turn into a 8,000 watt by winter)

stuff

Looking good, its a great sense of accomplisment when you can completly build a room yourself. Good luck and keep up the good work.

virgin she is

my current set up... well more so the plants in the current grow. with the room in the background lol

Super Silver Strawberry Lotus Week 7 (haze Dom Pheno)

you know I just don't like the light movers... I have no idea why... it's like hating the smell of a banana. lol I make no sense

Too many moving parts that need regular maintainance with light movers.
That looks cool as fuck man. Going to be a top shelf setup from the looks of things.

SketchyGrower · Jun 26, 2012

well, after pulling down the drywall in the (soon to be) flower room there is some lovely water in the wall and has the insulation soaking. was not on the list of shit to do...

hellraizer30 · Jun 26, 2012

It never is sketchy lol but seem to pop out and make shit more rough!

gladstoned · Jun 26, 2012

Looks like this build was more important than you originally thought.

karmas a bitch · Jun 26, 2012

What up sketch? I never liked light movers either. To much of pain to air cool. Have you seen that video for the grow bot? I
like how the tables raise,lower,and tilt all on switches. The lights are all fixed.

vilify · Jun 26, 2012

Air cooling with light movers really isn't that much more work honestly.
Either way, light rails are not for everyone.

Local hydro owner sells something like those growbots. Just like you said, fixed lights, adjustable tables (1 table per light, hand crank though)
for about $53,000. Much more reasonable IMO. Hope having to crank a rod a few times a day/week wouldnt be worth 20g's to anyone.

I'd build the bitch for that price..lol

when i used air cooled reflectors i found these heavy duty bicycle pulley lifts for about $25 and they made it very easy to adjust and stay in place.

KidneyStoner420 · Jun 26, 2012

Anyone ever thing of using those battery elec operated rotating Display things. You could put 2 plants on each if you put a larger piece of wood or something on it
Something like this...

Sketch I use those magnum hoods instead of the raptors for the same reason. Ten times easier to clean.

SketchyGrower · Jun 27, 2012

I clean my room and lights probably once a week if not twice. (I smoke in my grow room ,shit get's dirty quick).. I could not possibly think I'd do that much cleaning if I had to unbolt everything to get that glass out. lol
