2K on Light Mover - Three 3x3 Rockwool Trays

headiez247 · Jan 26, 2009

Just finished setting up another location. While this is much smaller and less exciting then the 7kw location, it's still worth a mention for sure.

2,000 Watts
Quantum Digital Ballasts
Radiant 8 Hoods
Light Rail 3.5

3 3x3 Trays
60ish clones
3 inch rockwool on top of slabs
24 hour drip at first, but now once a day for 5 minutes applied when they wake up
AN Nute line.
40 gal res
carbon scrubber
740 CFM Can Fan
pumps etc.

Strains: OGXSD, ChemDawg, AK47, HashPlant, Headband, White Widow

Topped them all today, going for a SOG

Nutes (had empty smaller bottles laying around so I just borrowed some from the larger bottles at the 7kw location)

how do you like those quantum ballast? are those the 3 in 1?

unitedgrooves · Jan 26, 2009

indeed another pro set up. Very clean, great job!. Are you still on 120v or you had to set up a breaker for 240v?

Unfortunately, still on 120v at this small place. Since it is only for one round and then will be broken down, it's staying at 120. That's one of the issues of that location, I'm limited to 2,000watts. If I had more electricity available there I'd be running like 5k in that room, it's 13x13.

I like them. They comes with both 120 and 240 cords, and it auto senses both MH and HPS. The unique thing it has is a dimmer which lets you go to 75% and 50% which is pretty neat.

Another man who has discovered 80/20 material. Right on.

So you must be on a 20a breaker?. I'm also on 120 breaker running 1 600w digi and i'm thinking about getting another on for a total of 1200w, so do you think its cool if I get another light.?. I'm also running Dehumid, small window ac, a small chiller,$ all hooked up to chhc 1 CTRL, i know i'm near 15a already.

Just a heads up...
Nice to be behind a 20a breaker but I'd hate pushing past 15a due to the fact that some receptacles are rated for 15a as the max. The breaker will take the load but the receptacle may/will give in.

I guess before you add any more items - check and make sure your receptacle is safe for the bump...

headiez247: This is an amazing setup - I love it!!! PROFESSIONAL!!!! and let me know what you think about the AN line. I used it on grow 5 for me but didn't notice an increase in size but potency was intense compared to anything else. Then again knowing you, you'll get the best of both worlds ;-)

Mr.Jones · Jan 26, 2009

one awesome setup ... rare to see something like that!
im very interested in the hashplant!
im gonna stay and learn

bron2k · Jan 26, 2009

There is no way your gonna be able to run all that stuff on one 20 amp circuit. Your gonna need 2 minimum. The AC alone is probably close to 10 and 2 - 600 watt lights are gonna be 10 more. Add fans, pumps, CHILLER, Dehumidifier and your way over. FIRE HAZARD ! Don't do it.

SWEET set up bro. Looking tight with the pro feel.

I like it.

Greyskull · Jan 31, 2009

You got it. Much easier to deal with PH in those syringes.

New Mom Home, soon to be filled with my 6 moms (still tbd, OGxSD, WW, Satori are def staying)

Still plenty with this constant drooping bullshit...

badugi · Jan 31, 2009

Nice setup.

Plants look seriously over-watered, or something.

FoothillsFarmer · Jan 31, 2009

I was wondering about the drooping when I saw the 1st pic, but I thought maybe it was shock from a move?.. but now.. I would think over-watering as well. You def. know your shit though, I'll sure they'll be fine! Nice setup, love the syringes!

mjboy · Feb 1, 2009

what are your levels at? PH? PPM?

headiez247 · Feb 4, 2009

Still having drooping issues, and I need to flip to flower within a few days.

It's currently on hour 4 of 10 of flushing with just PH'ed RO.

Tray 1 shows it the most.

One of the things I keep going back and forth on is feeding schedule. I'm honestly trying to choose between 24hour flow or 15 minutes once per day. I know that the 24hour flow isnt as popular but I have other friends who do it, and haven't had issues.

PH is kept at 5.6-5.8 but has been dropping for the last week. PPM's were at 800 until we started the flush today, but were not dropping nearly as fast as it should.
