Would this work

I guess i did.. didnt really know that 6 lights would classify as a large grow op but (not being sarcastic), i guess i got to put more thought into the power this will consume. I do have 2 fans and they are both inlinr rated at 1000 cfm each (they pull 300 watts each alone fml) but yeah.. not so worried about being a hermit i dont plan on having alot of company no one will ever see this and also it will be in a house (4 bedroom that i live in not an apartment.

With that being said would you reccomened i just split the rooms up into two rooms of 3 lights each? If i do this then can i just use one inline fan per room ? I was trying to avoid that to save money on carbon filter and etc.
a 1000w light is good for a 5x5 area ........u have enought power for a 15x10 area ......maximum lumen footprint

i know ppl with a 15x20 green house that has 6 1000w hids ........their op is putting out about 25 lbs every 2 months

Ok , getting a better picture of the kind of vent I need. I'm going to look into how I can get a minisplit involved in my op (thanks). Secondly (second post) are you saying that my room is too small for what I'm trying to do? 25 pounds per2 minths with 6 his is WELL over what I was looking to accomplish with this (although I would VERY grateful!). Dude, how.....???? Who's doing this, how are they doing this. Would it be possible for me to grow 6 pound in a 3 month harvest (seed to bud) with a hydro system?

Hey Chong,

Justugh said that it was a green house that was achieving that yield.
The HPS lighting is "supplemental" lighting.
A greenhouse has the Sun as its main lighting so you can't compare indoor yields to a "greenhouse" or outdoor grow.

I got you msg, happy to help where I can with any questions.

I had a 1000 watt HPS over each of my four tables which were 2mx1m each.
Each light had an adjust a wing reflector and cool tubes.

I based it on the Sea of Green by Al B FUCT
He is a legend and was around when I first started my op.
No longer around.......
I tried to copy almost everything he did!
Just doubled it in size.
I never had the op dialec in.
Wish I started on a smaller scale.
Never had it running at full capacity anyway.
That's why I suggested that you start small and then scale it up to what ever size you wish.

A) Get Power ( Electricity) sorted
B) Pop some seeds and grow a mother
C) Take some clones and fill Table 1

Whether you have one table or ten, yes it's the same knowledge required.
But you will find it overwhelming and will not be successful ( in my opinion) if you go over the top straight away. There will be a learning curve.
So Do it slowly!

"Al B FUCT "philosophy was that he was " a lazy stoner" and didn't want to do much work.
Simple system, with minimal maintenance.

Flood and drain was the simplest and most fail safe system.

If you have any questions or want any more info....

Ask away buddy

Don't mean to deter you.

But I'm a "Realist"

So walk before you run.

How big is your area in metres?
Do you have a seperate area for your Mothers and to take clones ( Vegging area ) ?

What strain are you planning on growing?
Do you have the seeds yet?

Ok thanks. Well since 6 lights would be considered a big grow up, what about 3 lights for the room? Will I still need a mini split ac system? I wasn't going to go the perpetual grow method of keeping a mother and growing plants from clones, so I hadn't considered any of that. My intentions were to grow every plant from seed to bud, and yes I have some seeds. I have 25 green crack and 25 white widow seeds both from cropkingseeds (great service BTW) I am germinating 2 seeds now to see what I'm working with I'll probably plant those in my backyard while I work out the configurations of my indoor op( no one will know what they are because I'll bring them in soon). Not to sure how many meters but I have 2 rooms which are both 10 feet wide x 10 feet length x 8 feet high. Also if I was to build a ebb and flo from storage totes, what size tote would I need? What size gph pump would I need? And would one system like that support a single light or would I need multiple ebb and flo systems per light?

Can you give me an idea of a setup (hydro) that will give me at least a pound per light,? I can separate the rooms into 2 rooms of 3 his lights in order to better control the heat

Buddy,

Forget about seed to flower.
Set up small area for mothers and Clones.

Grow a couple of mothers.
That way you know there all girls.
Grow them out and start cloning them for your flowering room.

Your area is about 3m x 3m

Just buy the tables and make your own stands if you want to save some money and diy.

You want a pound "per light"

What does that mean though..........?
In what type of system?
How many weeks veg?
Or sea of green ( no veg )?

If your thinking about yield it should be in GPW.
Not per light.
You need to include Vegging time when you calculate you GPW.

If you did a SOG :
2 x1000 watt HPS
2 x flood and drain tables 2m x 1m
You will fit 40 to 50 pots/plants per table
I used square pots 175mm

If you flower straight from clone, you should be able to achieve half an ounce to 3/4 of an ounce per plant , per cycle.
APPROXIMATELY!!!!

Yield Estimate first run:
Based on 80 plants ( can fit about 100 )
80 plants x 14g = 1120g
About 2.5 pounds every cycle
"Worst case scenario"

As you get better, you should be able to get 3/4 of an ounce per plant.
With both trays full at 100 plants .
That would be 2100g or 4.63 pounds

All you need now, is 80 to 100 well rooted clones and your ready to go!

Now crack some beans and show us all some photos.

Lol

what the other guy said

as for what u want to do and my imput answer these

1 what size of the total area for flower......for grow/veggie
2 how many times have u done this
3 what skill lvl are u with hydro system ......be brutel honest for own good
4 what strains are u planing to run
5 what is your access to equipment feed
6 are u building out a blank space or converting a space into
7 what is your illegal exp lvl in the black market (suppling makes u top dog on the raid list) ........doing a illegal grow is nothing like u seen it has alot of simple little rules to keep u safe as u are risking everything
8 can u handle the pressure and keep the paranoid side of u in check

what u want to do is able to be done but it takes alot of planning and keeping to simple little rules to keep a low profile....and a good bit of money
from what i am reading u are a total noob with weed smoking only under the belt (low end black marktet trade exp )

Your probably right, i do neet to head back to drawing board but, to be honest there are houses that use more electricicty then that. Im sure i could set up a safe electricity source without being a electrician
a 1000w light is good for a 5x5 area ........u have enought power for a 15x10 area ......maximum lumen footprint

i know ppl with a 15x20 green house that has 6 1000w hids ........their op is putting out about 25 lbs every 2 months
4x4 really, if you got 1100watts+XXL blockbuster/dominator 8'' or 10'' hoods. even then, its really just soft light after 4x4.

HPS hood are heavy too, you will need to build a 2x4 cage or light hangers/other method to support all this weight you want to hang.

I think you are getting a head of yourself, and your going to hurt yourself of someone else.

how about you strip the room, and "pre" prep the room. take a picture. get your electrical right, get your R/O and barrel installed.

set up your celling/floor dehumidifier/spilt A/C. N+ all fans, cut all you ducts. and buy the BIGGEST can filter you can find.

then install your floor, then your bucket system, and pre-test it

Don't go outside planting if your bringing them in soon, no need! You are risking
1, getting caught, cannabis looks like cannabis no matter how small/young they are.
2, bringing in god knows what with them, bugs ect. If you are going to run this sort of operation the last thing you need is anything that will spread like wild fire amongst X amount of clones. The bigger your grow the bigger the loss when you get busted or raped by problems.

Hey! Been waiting all day to get back to this forum, I was out helping my family but.. Yes! You gave me a lot of insight as to how I can make this work. Like you I value a realistic approach. Well now I am contemplating a 4 light flower room
With a single light in a veg room for the mothers and clones etc. So I am going to redo my blueprints for this but I have a few things I want to be sure on (they might sound remedial, but bear with me I am a newb). I just want to make sure I got the vent system down first, then I'll configure my electricity, then my hydro system

1 will 4 1000 watt lights make to much heat? Or will it be manageble without big air conditioners or other means ( remember I also have 2 inline 1000cfm fans still that I could use for exhaust), basically can I control my temps in that room gracefully

2 if I use another light (1000 mh) for veg and run it on a 24 light cycle, how many clones would one plant give me in two months? I would probably have like 10 mothers under the veg light in the veg only room

3 this might sound silly but, only want to make sure. Can I have my mothers grown in soil (veg) and plant my clones in a hydro (flower) * 2 different rooms I would use

Thanks dude

Oh and PS the seeds I got are all feminezed so I know they are fems

Hey! Grateful for the input. The room is 10x10x8 so I got a 1000cfm can filter, do you think that is big enough? I also have ona gel gallon to compliment. You said I broke 7? How? Also my ducting is all 8 my fans and carbon filter are 12( but I have 12-8 reducers)! Thinking about getting silenecers for the fans they are really loud

Hey bud,

You really just need to start with the absulutely basics.

Walk then run......

Crack a few seeds.
Grow some mums.
Start taking clones.
Get at least one full grow under your belt before you try a 4 light hydro grow.

Build it up slowly or in all likely hood you will not be successful and will struggle for many many cycles.....

That's been my opinion from the start.

Get your seeds in some rockwool/jiffy peat pellets

You don't need a big setup for a few seeds to germinate.
You will have a month or so to "plan" the rest of your setup.

Setup your Power First!

Oh and PS the seeds I got are all feminezed so I know they are fems

In short- answering your questions :

1 - you should have your lights in cool tubes/hoods and duct all air out of the grow room as discussed earlier.
2 - 1 x 400 watt mh light will be enough for about 6-8 well looked after mothers. They don't need a 1000 watt light ( try save some power ). You should be able to take around 10 good cuttings of each mother every 3 or 4 weeks (easy with some care).
3 - I do not suggest you use soil, why are you wanting to use soil in veg? What purpose would it serve? Don't complicate things.

Good luck , mate.

Hope to see some photos of seedlings in the next few days.

i got to go with the other guy

growing on the size u want to takes some skill
1 hydro is a unforgiven bitch that requires 3 times the amount of gear then soil
2 u have no basic weed skills yet to use to tune the system


grow 1 or 2 plants in soil and learn the basics before u spend all tha cash on the gear ..........weed is not like the stuff from the 80/90s it takes skills to dial in the feed to get the plants to really do good THC

We are not trying to discourage you!

Pop some beans and get "a" grow under your belt!

Love to see new guys growing!

Just take it all in small systematic steps.
Before having a go at a massive grow.

what he said

before u spend all the money to get the room up right
hydro u are looking at alot of money ......more then i think u understand
1the system...buckets pipping pumps air stones
2the water chiller.....hydro system the water needs to stay cool otherwise the roots cook and bad micros grow under HID light with 70% ir heat from hps lights u need something cooling the water down from the IR heat being absorbed tho the black plastic
3the phing gear....ph chemicals
4the feed

your looking at 2 k just in that basic gear for the room that size
10x10 u are looking at 9 plants ......3x3 foot print for flowering leaving 1 foot for pathways
9 plants in deep basket....u are looking at 30 gallons of water .....9 plants shallow basket u are looking at 40 gallons
that is 30 gallons worth of feed every week ......that is just flowering


to start off u should go the way alot of ppl do .........soil using organic based feed system (if u want u could do auto plants and remove the light time table from the learning )
soil with a organic based feed is the easiest grow u have .......the organic feed means u do not need to do any flushing like with chemical

2 3 grows learn the plant strain and tune the feeding to get the best out of it .......move to chemical based feed

hydro system are mostly chemical based feed with a small amount of organics to help the micros in the water ........hydro system u have to be on top of the game other wise the plant does bad as u are controlling everything for the root zone .....it is not ment for noobs with no exp at all to many variables the likely hood of a bad plant is to high to justify the cost for the learning curve

the soil will get u results .....as u get better u will make better weed ......personally i did 7 months of soil before i attempted a single dwc bucket experiment ........your talking going to a RDWC or a EBB and Flow system

My first I grow was 4 plants under one 400watt light in coco

I then started Flood and Drain and mucking around with Aero.

I tend to stay away from soil and don't normally recommend it.

A new grower can learn about hydro feed on his first grow on a small scale grow.
I don't believe he should be doing a massive grow on his first run though.

That's for sure.

i started off in soil and cfls ......600 bucks from the profit from the smoke i made i upgraded by my 3rd grow i was on 2 600w hids in a 4x4 and a 1000w in a 5x5

my first hydro was a dwc with a auto plant 110days 26oz 20 grams ......the only reason i was able to do that was i spent the time on the soil learning about the micros feeds plans stackers boosters

he is talking money making op.......hydro for your personal few plants it no big thing but when u are talking about reselling it u become the plant's bitch (hydro wise) once it is into flowering .......the only way out of that is spending a good amount of money on a auto PHer system

the guy is looking at 5k already before he turns around anything and that is iffy as it is hydro and first time .........soil the guy is looking at about 3k with a return ensured

if the guy goes auto seeds the cost gets even lower since he no longer needs 2 areas for the plants (autos can be done all in the same room on the same time frame under a mix of MH and HPS .....infact they do better with a mix of blue and red ......dual arc bulbs would work great for him (would only needs some UV/10k bulb for finshing off )

10x10x8=800cu ft. You want to exchange air every 3-5 mins, with open hoods I'd shoot for every 2 mins. So you want to move 400cfm, you don't want the fan maxed out, so go 600cfm min. Run your 1000cfm on a controller at 75%.
Run the lights on 240v if you can. You can generally run 6 1000Ws on one 30A 240v circuit. Run them through a light controller, you really don't want to pull big amperage through a plug in wall timer.

I ran 3 circuits from my main to my room which is 12x8x7, one 30A 240v to accommodate up to 6 600W lights and 2 20A 120V for pumps, fans, etc, etc.

It takes planning. I knew how big I wanted to end up so I built out my room first. I laid out what I thought my FINAL setup would be and designed my air flow and light venting around it and did wiring and plumbing. Took me a couple months. Now I had a designed room for my end purpose. I divided it with B&W poly for a veg and flower area for now, but it will all be flower eventually. I started with a t8 fluoro and an open 250hps in the room, I've been slowly building up to my final plans, I'm up to 2 cool tube 600 hps in flower, a 400 mh, a T5, and the T8 on the veg/mom/clone side. It gave me time to get experience and know how the room will act with different setups. Build the room you want them grow into it.
