Those are awsome tables that you made. I like how you cut down those trays. So what was the final count of the seedlings? Will there be extra space when you take out the dudes? Are you going to put more seeds in the empty space?

air-cooled lights, Really good airflow, fans, and a aweseome air intake system.!

But with the plants in there it is actually running at 82-83 degrees with no ac.
Are u in a basement also? I'm just trying to get a feel for the type of AC I will get...

its like I can finally take a breather.
Wow do I hear u on that one. I'm near done setting up a 32 plant aero/perpetual harvest. I'm really second guessing the perpetual aspect of all this though, everything has to be done 4 times and I need four of everything I used to only need one of. Anyways, everything looks fantastic!

Probally 4 1000 watters, but since these are from seed and this first grow isnt perpetual (because its not from clones) Probally 6 1000 watters, or 2 1000 watters and 4 600 watters...

did you seal those trays, or can water get through at the seams?

do the grow bags have holes in the bottom?

Very nice job---things are coming along well and your room looks very clean(well though out and organised---cracker lingo:mrgreen:)-those buds will be fat as hell like FDD'S buds----I guess it takes that kind of wattage to get those baseball bat sized buds---you know-the buds that weigh over a zip.-I'm glad to here your build is coming to a finish, that shit will wear your ass out--keep up the great work and will be checking in soon...

Completely sealed, as good if not better than any store bought plastic flood tables... They even have raised bump beds for good drainage.

the Bags do have holes in them.

Thanks Doc, Yeah we are hoping to make 1 ounce plants!! Might be hard though towards the outer edges of the trays to get up to that, but we will see!

The nice thing is that if you get weak areas-you can move your bags around to bal things out---I dont think you will have any problems with those numbers---I'm getting zips with 2- 600 over 4'x8' and your going to have alot more juice--should surprise you---are you going to run co2 this time?

I see that it's sealed under the trays. The reason I asked is that I did something similar with trimmed trays like that, and had a problem sealing them perfectly. What ended up happening is that water was trapped underneath them in the waterproof bottom, which was not good. I ended up pulling the trays and letting the sealed bottom do the work. I had sealed it with that spray plastic stuff, so I could rest pots on it without worry. I could imagine that with the visqueen that you would worry about pots tearing it, but it seems the grow bags would be ok. If the drainage holes are on the bottom, however, that's a problem .... anyway, just thinking out loud.

What I'm trying to say is that if water can get underneath those trays, it will never dry, and you probably don't want it under there.

Ya My trays are actually 3 feet by 6 with a 1000 watt for each one... So we should do decently...

The trays use 45 mil Pond Liner (expensive stuff). Layed just as if they were a pond, and the 10x20 trays are cut, and just layed in there.

Your right water will porballally always be under neath them, but since its drain to waste, and top drip/handwatered fed it shoul pose no problems.

Ya the wheels are super cheap but rated to 50 pounds each, essentially I should be okay, if one breaks I dont really see anything too bad happening. I dont think the table would topple.

And thanks you for the compliments (I think), I learned carpentry from my Step father.. Wood is the most amazing thing to work with, no two pieces are alike, and it is compleltely malable in sorts....

If you guys ever need anything built wood wise, Please let me know.

these tables were constructed for $62 a piece, and a 4x8 would cost $74 raw material.

But seriosuly shelfs, rocking chairs, cabinets anything wood I can do it.....

I have every episode of New Yankee workshop... hahaha

Oh i see it's drain to waste. I didn't get that part. that's good. Hopefully that way no water will sit long enough to grow anything in there..

If you're setting up a drip system, now is probably a good time to consider supports for running main lines up the middle of the table just above pot level. You could run a pipe main line or two at say 1/3 and 2/3 widths, or run bars to attach 3/4" line to that run off the table, either to hose or pumps. That would be pretty trick.

Shaping up nicely.
