I remember this setup from back in the CW days!! Great job!! :tiphat: Wondering if this setup can handle another 600w lamp or would it be overkill for that space?
peace

Hey there toasted! Glad to see you still around :D Nice pic!

Calicoli, you can put as many lights in it as you want, but this design maximizes the efficiency of the lights so that you don't actually have to use tons and tons of light :D

Beautiful man, truly a work of art. I do have to admit it breaks my heart someone with that space didn't go vertical! However I understand with an E&F table like that, why not go horizontal (and with a great reflector like that, you'd be crazy not to!). I'm quite impressed and envious at the same time. Wish I had those wood working skills. :biggrin:

do you forsee any probs with that pressed wood you used and moisture?? did you seal the wood or anything? my experience with that wood is it really dont like moisture and if moist sometimes expands like a sponge in areas. great design and setup.

Funny I found this thread today

and look what I found cleaning the attic today

Custom made 4x4 hoods. Feather light
a decade old

These were the tops to my tunnels over flood n drain tables
I used corrugated plastic covered in mylar for the sides

Thanks everybody :D

Thanks hippydan, I wish I would have been able to use better tools actually, I only had a jigsaw to make all of my cuts with so it could have been better lol. :)

mr cheese, yes it does kill me to not have been able to see them through :(

supermanlives, yes, this wood absolutely hates water, so make sure your design is extremely leak proof. I use pond liner for the tables and reservoirs, and I've also used epoxy paint once and it worked great after having to apply a second coat. I've had leaks a couple times, but if you catch them fast, they won't turn into a problem. You could also use better wood if you'd like but the cost of the project would go up a little bit.

Bud Boy, Nice man, can't wait to see them in action. drop a link when you start setting it up :D

Well like you said wood would be at a higher cost but you would never have to worry about leaks and with all the other things for leaks your setup would be around for 20+ years,I say use what you can but that stuff and that press board is a waste of money but your setup is super I like it a lot.

I still use the concrete tubs have had them in use for over a year and they are simple as anything and produce a lb each every cycle I run two under 1000 watts with three weeks veg flowering for atleast 70 days for that sit down and relax dank.
