because the area is so tight u can fit 1000watt dual spectrum above each side then in the middle lower down say 600watt hps for the lower area to help with streahing. hopefully . all air cooled seems to be the only way 2 go.
oh did i also say this will be a hydro system. drip/flood system maybe the first of its kinds . hopefully it works.

that's a great use of space. stadium is a viable alternative to the omega. both are inventive, omega is just top of the line. its not really an argument, guys. if you have the means omega is the best use of space and money. if you dont have the $$$$, go for stadium. i dont care if you have to water 200 plants or drip them. its a great idea.

the only thing that would help make more use of the lights, as was mentioned, is maybe to build the stadium in a semi-circle, with just enough room to walk into the center. then, if your lamp(s) were on a circular light mover, each plant would get equal distance from the light(s).

i hope someone grows like this and reports as they improve the system. good stuff.

I kinda do a 'slice' of this, in a closet/cabinet. I have shelves on one side and the light above.

No pics at the moment, but that's no great loss as I just rebuilt it in my current place am restarting after taking some time to settle in here and be satisfied everything would be cool.

Here's a cross section diagram, which shows how the garden is oriented when viewed from the open door.

The floor space is 2.5' by 2.5' and it's about 7.5' tall.

I thought I read they were using clones, havnt been to original links for a while. First post here of this thread has links to the actual growers log. Lots more pics and info. But to be honest the guys had a room full of plants, i dont think seed but im going to go clones myself for this style using 2 1ks to start. seeds sound nice at first cause its all new to me too, but after going through like 70 expensive seeds already i want guarenteed female and guarenteed weight production from a known good mom im looking for now myself. but yeah for a lot of plants, 30 and numbers like that ya gotta clone, you cant go from seed its not realistic i learned the expensive way. and t5s are working great right now.

yeah, ive had hermie issues even so im making sure that from now on, only select clones from a proven female will even see the budding tent. and im going to flower out 8 clones from each plant to be ultra safe and have good selection

currently 11 plants. on 4th sets of leaves under t5s 24 hour lighting. these will be the future moms.

well, ive never had much of a choice in weed ever in life, so i wanna spoil myself with a lot of strains now that i can play god / and yes i feel like god when i grow too / im going to keep 3 strains of known favorites when i find them. and i want to circulate another 3 strains hopefully always seeking out new flavors to replace fav 3. so 6 mommys and 12 budding i think will be my current setups maximum. hydrohut 447 and custom cab. im going to be doing the stadium though. and im back and building with a fuck the cops attitude. thanks for the link also SWAT slash

what does the water drain into in the stadium grow?

i havent read this thread in a while, but im sure this guy has a feel of how much water to use per plant, with minimal runoff.

i saw an interesting grow on youtube where the guy had a shut off valve for his watering wand. he would time his watering per pot... for example if the pots only needed two seconds of watering, that is what this guy did, just counted to two and turned the valve to the off position and moved to the next plant.

you could also do this with nute solution too, by running your hose to your pump inside a res.
