This is my first Hydro Setup after growing in soil for 32 crops

This is my first hyrdo setup. The pix are of the first day of transplant from the cloning room.

I created a 10' x 15' room

2 4x8 Tables (Im using the white grow matts as a medium)
2 1000 watt HPS on movers
1 t5 8 bulb in between to supplement
2 40 gallon resevoirs ( so I can run seperate mixes for the seperate tables)
Each hood is air cooled and fed by a Vortec 10" from exterior cool air, and exiting the room at the ceiling level next to the roof exhuast fan.
Im usuing a Soleus 14,000 btu A/C heater and dehumidifier. 2 ocilating fans.
2 in and 2 out fans(Im using the inline boost or "pancake" fans. The ins are at floor level on one side of the room, and the outs are at ceiling level on the opposite side.

i live in parts where i need to keep the water cooler....i use a seperate res with a fan blowing over the water
but if u live where it needs to be warmer then an aquarium heater will work fine....
u want it at around 68f

I think it is literally that temp.

I am at 5.5 ph and 1380 ppm.

Currently using

Gen Hydro Flora 3 part


Big Table Bloom
FloraGro 200
FloraMicro 400
Flora Bloom 600
nectar 200
plus 40
kool bloom 200
flora blend 100

I am 3 days into my bloom. I just redid the nutrients from my transition to my blooming cycle.

Thoughts?

im not familiar with those nutes.....but ur ppm sounds high for ur transition,but maybe it isnt,only u can tell

Im over the transition. I only gave them 3 days to trans techincally. I just started this bloom/ppm now.

it all sounds good
post some pics when u get a chance

Maybe you can help with that.

Its hard, because usuing HPS and most Digital Cameras, don't mix. I get bars and refreshing in the images.

only way around that is put a diff light on it for the pic
happens to me too

Hey guys,

here are some pix!

800x600 biggest they allow!

looking good man
i like that white cloth u put down....what is that?
also lovin ur sreen....make it urself?

I used Panda Film(black bottom, white top) to cover the roots, grow matt & kill off algae that came with the clones.

I made the trellis holder from pvc & got the net from the Hydro store, it is a Trellis Net. I took a 5x30 and made it into a 5x15 more than enough for two 4x8 tables.

The screen/net was 11 dollars, and its about 30 dollars worth of PVC to make the two Setups(I haven't setup table 2 yet. They are slightly smaller, and are just now in need of a trellis.

well u def got a nice setup going on
cant wait to see ur finished product
whats the strain?

OG(Triple)

I can't wait either! lol

But I have to, forever. Xmas at the earliest, but I will let the plant decide this. Could be earlier, could be later.

Its hard to tell in the pix, but each of the 1000hps are on light movers.

Unfortunately, I am trying a lot of firsts for myself. If can manage them all, this might work out. First time with a hydro setup bigger than 8 buckets. First time with light movers. First time with tables. lol

it all seems to be going smoothly
i just put mine in flower also ....they should be done around january
its cheese from fantaseeds
