well i got stoned one afternoon with my good friend last week. And as we were looking at his 6 ladies at day 30 flowering under his 400 whps. we took another bong hit and thought why not go hard or go home.
We both have our licenses in CA and can grow 12 immature and 6 buding. we set out to home depot and spent about 1800 bucks on various timers, 2x4 ect wood, mold resistant interior, mylar, AC unit, air pump, door lock keypasscode entry, video camera at best buy to monitor plants from laptop.
we framed up a 10' x 7' room as an attatchment to the back of the garage, inside we built half a wall from 2x4s tacked on some plywood and built a 4' x 6' vegetative room inside the big room. we filled the framed walls with c-13 to ensure the AC unit we bought works for us in the california summertime.
next we craiglisted
1000 watt hps (2) for the 12 flowering
1000 watt MH (1) for veg
bought some heavy duty fans that we mounted in each opposite corner of the flowering section to cover the canopy.
went to home depot bought a 20 gallon container to use as a reservoir to feed both our veg and flower rooms divided buy walls we framed up. bought one of the 49.99 timer systems that you can set to water throughout the day .
so in a matter of a busy weekend we have built this room hung our lights installed a new breaker, set up our blower and our vent sys, as well as AC unit, ducted all our lights to ensure our temps stay in the 60's.
my friends old 400 watt hps cab has turned into what we plan as a 60 day harvest cycle of continuously budding legal plants under our 2k .
Were going all foxfarm ocean mix / FF
picked up the A630(or 20?) Canon 8.0 MP at walmart for 250 bucks today so i'll be posting some pics in the next few days when i get over to freinds to get the camera.
we plan on just finishing 30 more days on my friends 6 budding plants before we move the 12 vegging bitches into the 2k watt room when they're finished.
would it be werth it with the space we have to run both 1k watt lights if we can keep the temps in the high 60's? for just the 6 plants to finish.
Also I would really appreciate some help from someone who has run reservoir systems with organic FF possibly to give me some pointers.
I plan on pretty much sticking to the bottle but since i'm timing the watering to water 3 times a day while the lights are on at intervals I'm not sure how much I want to release, and a few small points i'd like to clear up. Thinking 8 gallon containers is the way to go with the space I have in my grow room.
I'll be posting pics in the next few days,

the ceilings of our garage are 10 foot so that gives our plants a maximum height of 7' including the lights

.I think there is a place for this exact kind of topic sneaky g.
sounds like you're gonna have a nice system goin for ya once you get it worked out. I can't wait to see some pics of the setup. If you can veg those girls out a little longer so you can get them to take up an 8x4 space or something close to it total then id say go for using both lights. However, if power usage is of any concern to ya id say 1000 is fine for 6 plants. good luck with the grow and keep us updated!
