I like a couple things here (I have done stadium before)

Adjustable shelf depth(from center)
Plant density

While time consuming, it is easy to hand water stadiums. So that's really up to you.

The smaller the pot, the more I prefer feeding/watering to runoff everytime starting at about 1wk into flowering. So runoff becomes an issue if you are going to have runoff. Easily dealt with as well.

Don't underestimate the importance of light reflection from above and behind the top rows. 'Center' your bulbs top-to-bottom in the canopy to start.

Nice

Thanks for the tips trolodyte
What do yo mean center bulbs top to bottom?
Handwatering isnt bad at all.

How long would you suggest i veg in this setup?
also do you using bushmaster would benefit any?

Thanks again,cheersHbr

If, for example, you have 48" from the top of the bottom row pot to the top of the top row pot...hang the bulb so the BULB center is about 24" above the top of the bottom row pot.
Divide as your mileage may vary.

Oh yeah...veg and BM.

Veg time depends on many variables. But under average 1000w conditions...2wks from now. Some strains can knock a couple days off that, some can add a week.

BM? Touchy, touchy shit. Be careful. A dramatic product for sure...but way up there in the "test and tune" file.

Did you say that the space between your shelves is 12 inches and also 12 inches from the ground? Is the frame the whole 2x4 or did you cut some of it down?

Thanks

Also what would you think about using 3 1000 watts for 2 gallon buckets, roughly 80-100 plants. Would there be a bigger yield?

Thanks

-roughly yes
"Also what would you think about using 3 1000 watts for 2 gallon buckets, roughly 80-100 plants. Would there be a bigger yield?"

This is my first time running this setup,but i do think it might.

Well i had to let them sleep for almost 48 hrs! Couldnt turn lights on we will have to see if this had any effect.
Yesterday plants were watered with 1 tsp/gal of Maxicrop kelp.
Tomorow they will be sprayed with it.
Did a mite scouting and saw nothin! Yesssssssssssss.
If they show up i will use botanigard on them,and i have a few py bombs incase it gets crazy,but so far so good.
Ventilation seemed to have worked itself out,now runnin 73 degrees with 3 1ks on,much better than the 91 i was hittin.
I am going to rearrange by height manyana.

They will begin pure vida bloom in 2 days
And i am seriously thinking about the bush master,these are getting huge,too huge!

Co2 was blasted twice for 3o mins each

Grow room area: 1078 cubic feet
Amount of CO2 required: 1.2936 cubic feet
On time: 38.81 minutes

If anyone has any info on how to achieve this let me know,im confused
Should i put co2 on a timer? For how long I have the hydrofarm co2 regulator.
Will post pics in the morn,Good night Hbr

a little hard to understand that, but I am sure some pics would help clear it up... I am looking forward to watching your grow. I am predicting a few certain problems, but its nothing you shouldn't be able to fix, and as I have never grown using the stadium set up, I may be wrong, be we shall see...

very nice.... i may have to postpone my Gi to build the stadium first... what is your length and top height for for side latter racks and shelf hight...i was thinking of building that but i was looking at just doing the concrete sides... is that a bad idea or should i just run with what you have...idk ..yours looks way more like the farmer.... but if yours is a sativa..i would be flowering asap cus u dont want them to over grow the V.. keep it up...soo your hand watering ? how much water do you go through every time...
