Hello everyone! I've been wanting to start this thread but for personal reasons that couldn't be done until now. Instead of this being from start to finish, you'll see a lot of pics that are already in progress. Basicly, I'll be showing you the final crops before I shut down for the summer. I hate fighting the heat.
Here's the details:
size: This is not in a home. I have 3 rooms. 1 veg and 2 flower. The veg is about 18 x 18 and the 2 flower rooms are about 18 x 13. I constructed the rooms from wood and plastic wrap.
light: veg is 3 1000 watt MH lights on light movers. Each light runs about 12ft on the mover and is over the top of a table. I have the veg room divided into 3 equal sections of about 6 x 18. The 2 outside sections have tables that I built from ply wood and plastic with drains. The inside section is for my mothers. I plan to have 16 in all that will be in drip systems for high performance. So basicly there's 1 light over each table and 1 light over the moms.
The flower rooms are divdied into 2 sections. Each section holds the same size table that I built in the veg but instead of 1 light, I have 4 1000 watt hps over each table. Each light is responsible for a 4 x 4 area. Each room holds 2 tables.
Soil: I use the sunshine mix #4. I use 5 gallon grow bags and it takes about 10 bails of dirt for each table.
Nutes: I use AN 2+ program.
Co2: yes
water: city
I've been at this for some years now and this works for me. If anybody has any questions please feel free as I will give specific details. If you don't then sit back and enjoy this ride. As I said before, this grow is already in progress and I'm beginning to shut it down but I'll try to take pics of only my final crop that way I can keep it in cronological order. I also have been storing pics of the construction because I've always wanted to do this so you'll get some pics of that too! Here's a couple of pics of 1 of the veg table and my twilght mom, she's huge!

sounds like a setup that would yeild around 32 lbs. a year pretty easily (2 crops). your electrical bill would SCARE the Hell out of me... but i've seen plenty of gas stations that run (16) 1000w HID's or more for around 10 hours a day... you'd still have to have some sort of cover i would imagine...
I cut em at 45, dip em in gel and put em under a dome. No heat matts and I put em it the shade behind on of my moms in the veg room. 2-3 weeks, I'm good! I'll be showing the whole process in a couple of days.
