For an 8 buckets DWC set up, I currently use the amazon 8 plant aero kit so have a 1.2mX1.2m 2high tent and looking to upgrade my kit. Thanks in advance guys
How much money are you wanting to invest? Not only in a tent, but in other gear if you want to grow bigger?
I am looking at setting up a 6 bucket RDWC UC in a 4x8x8 Gorilla tent under 2 600w HIDs in joined sunsystems blockbuster hoods. I could do 8 buckets if I want but I'm restricted by the number of MMJ plants.
My equipment list so far:
4x8x8 Gorilla tent
2x600w 240v Apollo ballasts
2xsunsystem blockbuster 6" air cooled hoods
Electric hoist and pullies for motorized hood lifter - http://www.harborfreight.com/440-lb-electric-hoist-with-remote-control-60385-9253.html
(I'll be posting my hoist diy design after it's built)
hortilux MH and HPS lights
Hurricane 435cfm inline fan
Vantech fan controller
6"x24" scrubber
6" muffler
3 oscillating fans
portable AC for the room the tent sits in to assist in cooling (house has central AC)
50-pint dehumidifier
I agree. I've built quite a few closet grows in the past, but my disabilities from being a disabled vet has really caught up to me in the past couple years and I have very little left in me. It sucks because I really did enjoy building everything.
I did want to design my own lift though because I've always hated yo-yo's and other hangers. With two lights I saw it as being a real pain in the ass.
So basically I'm going to use a hoist, a length of angle iron to hang the hoods from by their hooks, and then use a series of pulleys to perform a smooth even vertical light mover. Pretty inexpensive as well. I looked around but I didn't really come across any motorized light hangers so once I'm done I'll post my design and results for everyone.
Lots of my equipment advice came from jijiandfarmgang and dbkick so I'd like to give a shout out to them and say thanks for all the advice. I hope to get started soon. Just waiting for the rest of my disability to kick in.
