Other guys have their designs and I see them developing in this thread. What needs to be done in mine may not need to be done in some other variation. Like I've said somewhere in this thread....if you are going to do *this* set up, forget what you have learned with other systems. I've watched people with old habits fail. Not plucking leaf, not turning, watering too little or too much, too far from the bulbs, bulbs to few, not moving out enough or bringing in enough air, growing the plants too big or too small. You can all trial and error your way but some of my advice can eliminate some of the tough lessons.

With the Hash Plant they would lean so bad otherwise that it was a frigging nightmare.
With Purple kush they don't really lean but they shade themselves so bad with the monster fan leaves that the back of the plant goes yellow. I just went through this. I was 4 days late in my weekly turn and I ended up with damaged vegetation once the light hit the almost yellow brush. Pruning leaves helps.
In the past I've had similar problems including weak fluffy sides that hurt my bag appeal for market.
Trust me, I know. Before anyone tells me that I'm putting too many plants in my room, I know all about the balance between too many and not enough. To get your weight when you go less numbers you have to grow them bigger. That adds time...which takes away profit.
A higher number of smaller plants takes away the extra veg and there you have it...more money at the end of the year.
Really, whats the problem anyways? Half hour per room once a week. Small investment for better looking herb.
This is not someone else's stadium, this is Northern Farmer's stadium.
Of course I shall benefit from some of the ideas you all are sharing with me. It goes both ways.

It is actually called 'track'. It is used on the top and bottom of metal stud interior wall building. This is the same dimension as a 2x6 and I recently learned that it can be had 8" wide as well (to fit 2gal pots)...this 6" fits a 1gal pot with enough room for runoff to pass by each pot on it's way to the end.
My Buddy has used these for over 15yrs and I even used them for quite some time.
So if a guy wanted to contain runoff from 1gal pots...you could use these in place of those 2x6 lumber shelves there in the stadium that is using a 2x6. They need a little extra support tho and you would need to build a step frame to match the design of the stadium. Not hard.
And they're metal...so no mold worries like there may be with uncoated wood.
They only come in 10ft lengths and are pretty cheap actually. Basic sheetmetal tin snips can be used to cut them down if needed.
ya, you generally would have to go to a 'real' building supply store to find them.flooid said:

WOW!! Thanks to all who have gave me + Rep on this thread. You are all too kind.
Of course. But the overlapping light would not be the same as how NF is setup.macster said:
