Damn RR your not fucking around
That's a serious set up you got theirI wish I had all that
What kind of scrubber is that and does it work good?do you water your seedlings every day? Or a few times a day so they don't dry out? They look great. My room gets to 88 I have to adjust the timer so lights come on at night.its to damn hot now turn run them durning the day.wanna come build me a room like yourslol looking good bro
With the current 6" fan and the lights at 75% the room is rock steady at 77 day and 74 at lights out. If I ramp the lights up to full power it goes to like 84 which is hotter than I like. Hoping the 8" fan corrects this. Right now since I'm on a veg cycle I run lights from 5pm to 11am. When I go to 12/12 I run lights on from 9pm to 9am.
The actual tables are DIY flood tables The plants actually in the tables are in 2gal smart pots with the sides folded down so they are only about 6" tall. Each tray can hold up to 10 plants in the 2 gal pots.
As for the seedlings right now they are in 1 1/2" rockwool inside the 3 3/4" net cups so I hand dip them twice a day with ~300ppm@700 nute strength. Once the other plants are ready to flip I'll move the seedlings back to the other room under the T5 again. They should be big enough for smart pots by then.
Not sure what type of scrubber it is. Was a gift from the guy that got me started and it's a beastly commercial filter. It's like 40" tall and 14" OD with 8" inlet. Definitely overkill for a 4' x 8' room. I do know the guy had it refilled before he gave it to me with coconut charcoal. In the past I just recirculated the air in the room through the filter and had no outside smell but I didn't have any actual exhaust from the room then. My central AC was cooling the room and I had no box and was only running 1 light.
I have to finish the exhaust for my ac I just use it as a fan as of now.When I turn it on it gets the room around 79-82 with 1 1000 watter and a 600.the room gets to 86-88 with lights on.I have 3 fans in there with the 400 cfm fan /scrubber.I also ran a a/cvent from the house a/c to the room.its a 8x4 room I build.
I just bought a 8x4 matrix grow tent I plan on running side by side I have to figure out the air flow and return air before running anythonin there.
I can see the difference in the plant from when my temps use to get in the 90 I had way less tric production and it strecthes like a bitch.i know if I can get the temps down I can get the plants to look even better.
The reason way I asked about the tables I'm thinking about buying or a diy table.for the new tent coming I bought a 8 plant water farm system.I was thinking of putting a 3x6 table in my 8x4 now .but my head room is only 6 ft I can't sett the lights up any higher.

Here's a shot of the 2nd Kosher Tanige that I've run. This one is much more frosty and smelly as I dial her in. So excited to press her! Another week then flush. This was taken at Day 43:
Speaking about air conditioning I have a weird problem that didn't plague me until I got a new 12,000BTU window unit.To make it short the light pours through the AC vents like theres no tomorrow.Even flowering from Nov 20 to Jan 20 I still have to cover the vents a short time and turn off the AC.What I need is 12 hours dark in the outdoors which doesn't happen even flowering when the days are the shortest.I never had this problem before damn window unit.Actually its the coldest unit I've ever used with 3 1Ks in an 8 by 8 room I( can keep 80=85 F with 1500PPM co2.I was thinking recently of that black screen I've seen around.I have to think of somethingEDIT For a few reasons I cant flower at night

No way to really light seal a window unit. You can give the outside of it as much shade as possible. So that black screen would help, especially if you can put it outside and in. I always ran some type of enclosure for the plants for light proofing when I was using a window unit. Your best option is a Mini-Split both for lightproof and efficiency in cooling.
I just got some Geat fucking News .....I'm going to the cup on the 11th .....A friend that is very involved messages me about going so I'm going ..I will post up pics from there I wish florida was legal and had cups that would be so nice

if your talking about the light going thru the a/c unit where your air comes from. just pull the direction paddle out and spray the back of it with black spray paint. that's how i took care of light leaks to the outside. i only bloomed at night for heat reasons during the day.

mine was chopped at 71 days & is trimmed & hangin to dry ...... should get a taste in a few days
this pic is from day 60
6 Sour Hazy Jones and 2 Carolina bag seed. TT run is next for the cab depending on how well it works in the heat and I have a bunch of ACE gear (OTH, Malawai, Zameldica, Golden Tiger and maybe more) that will run outdoors this fall.
Well I have a limited data set (2 months) to analyze - this grow is not where I live. That said in April it looks like this setup cost about 50 cents a day to run. In May that number is up over $1 a day and I expect June/July/August to be well north of those figures.
Thanks Copperfield, keep rockin on!!!
Try shutting off your fresh air intake. At least that used to solve that problem. Smaller window shakers usually don't have that feature but larger units (like yours) usually have fresh air intakes that can leak light like a bitch. You may have to pull the back cover to really see how it works and figure out if closing the vents will work or if you need to get in there and tape it off.
