4000w 120 plant soiless SOG - Cooltubes - EZclone

am using 4x1000 watt cooltubes. made saw horses and a 6'x8' table. had them precut the wood into 4x-2'x6' pieces. polytarped over the table.
found these great concrete mixing tubs. They hold 2 cubic feet of whatever you are using. am using a local soiless blend. They are only $10 and are very heavy duty, the best deal for any container ive seen.

have a 120 site EZclone, and it is full of 120 of my best cuts. will clone another batch of 60 or so immediatly after the first batch(extras, freinds, ect.)

At the end of my room have 2x 4' 4bulb t5 floros for my EZclone and mothers. took the cuts 3 days ago so they should be in the tubs in 10 or so days. will use Rhizotonic when first roots are noticed.
am growing 4 strain although its mainly just 2. have about 70 - NL x Afghani, 30 - blueberry, 5 trainwreck and 15 - G-13. All 70 cuts off the NL x Afghani are off of one mother, so they will be very even. So will the blueberry. 4 tubs of NL x Afghani, 2 tubs of blueberry, 1 tub of G-13, and the last tub is for the trainwreck and extras.

Each tub fits 15 plants perfectly for SOG. 2 tubs per 1000 watts. Each tub is 2'x3'. So end up with a nice 83 watts per square foot. will use reflective material around all the edges.

My plan on ventialtion is a very high static pressure 6" inline fan, ducted through each light(in an "S") connected to a 6" odorvent carbon scrubber. A weaker 6" fan will be used for the intake for a negative pressure. If this does not provide enough cooling, whick I think it will, I will run the lights in a sealed intake-exhause setup, and another 6" exhausting the room.

Oh yea, nutrients! am hand watering the tubs every 2 days or as needed. Nutes will be mixed in a 20 gallon bucket and then pumped out a small pump with a hose and on/off valve. 2 nutreint feed then 1 water.
am using:
Clonex
Rhizotonic
Liquid Karma
Pure blend pro grow & Cal-Mag
Canazyme
Pure blend pro bloom & Cal-Mag
PK 13/14
Sweet
Clearex

Pics of everything tonight, my battery is charging. could only get one before it died.
will update this regularly so you might bookmark it.

lookin good BudBunker....just some food for thought..i noticed ur floros on ur EZ-cloner are pretty close..and is there small burn?..i learned the hard way by too much light with clones...clones dont need hardly any light at all....

I now only use one 36w floro about 2 feet from the cloner....no burn and ready to plant in 13 days.....

I root 120 to 160 ( you can doubble up the clones if there small cuts) clones every two weeks....so i have to be on it...it works well.





Going to be a good show... :joint:

had the space so built another 3x8 table, complete with 4x tubs, and 2000 more watts in cooltubes. Ventilation design has changed because of this and now am not sure of the best way.

that 6 inch fan on those 4 cooltubes is no way enough to cool those lights...

I run 8 inch 620 cfm fans...i use a reducer for the 6 inch cooltubes..

I would try to get another fan like the one you have now running all 4 and split it in two....so two lights will get one fan....

Thousands are very hot no matter what....I have got rid of mine and use 600s now. and slam the lights close to the plants....large scale growing is very hard to keep cool..

I wouls also vent the heat outside?..i'm sure you are..

do you have an A/C ?...

You'll get the heat thing down...just takes some thought, and I'm just tryin to help...

Aloha.. :joint: :joint:

I love your setup; your last thread was off the hook... What are you doing as far as mites go on this run?

Very impressive, I am pulling up a chair for this one... Those tubs are real handy, I just wish I could find them in a larger size.

As for the mites, im hoping it wont be a problem like last run. My clones are pest free so far, and I will spray them after transplant with neem. Only 4 out of 120 clones have rooted so far..... Already been 7 days but they are still pretty green.

Im going to fire up 5 of the 1000w lights(need a bulb still)
