it will take an hour or so a day
another half hour for the mothers/clones

i staggered the lights - some hanging higher some hanging lower, to make up a little for the extra shelf
i will rotate them up a shelf every watering

i am going to put plastic overfill trays (whatever they are called), under the bags, because i am not even thinking of doing this without a wand

i have done a few stadiums so i think i have it right, but nf is what gave me the motivation to do this big of one (i saw that he had a 20' one in that thread)

i have to move the plants for two reasons - one the extra shelf/plants on the floor and two because of the mix of lights (hps and mh)... i mean you could just leave them where they are and spin them, but i found that its better to move them around - obviously directly in front of the bulb gets more light than the top and bottom shelf which is true for anyones stadium really
you couldnt have it only a foot wide in the middle or the lights would burn the plants
the plans for this are my own, but i got the overall idea looking at the 20 footer in that thread
i had to do some mods to make it 6 steps, instead of 5 (steeper and a few less inches between steps)
you can see that it is built alot sturdier than the ones in that thread, but the negative is it cant be torn down in a hurry


hell ya when is it getting fired up?

clones should be out of veg and in there fri (i hope)

i havent done a stadium this big, but i have done both stadiums and 10k(+) grows, so it is simply combining the two

honestly growing in promix isnt rocket science, so the hardest part is watering/moving the plants around
it is more time consuming than hard, i mean mixing ferts and using a few sticks isnt really hard
i am sure that at the end i will be tired of this room, but i like to have alot of smoke and this will (hopefully) at least hit a gram per watt

How bout an irrigation system? I bet you total set up time for a drip system would be less than the time to do just two hand waterings.
Maybe hand water and move them around for optimal light absorption until week 3 flower, then set up the irrigation.
Just throwing in my thoughts with me in your shoes, lol!
That will be a fun project for you!
Be talkin to ya...

irrigation would be possible if i wasnt moving the plants so much and if there werent any on the floor

not really possible for a couple of reasons

watering with the wand shouldnt be so bad - walk in room, move ones on floor (probably fit them under the stadium itself), start at far end, move plants off bottom shelf where i need to reach top shelf climb up, stretch lean, water water, finally go back and start moving the floor back, water somemore...
ok it is going to suck lol
 
just finished a stadium only 2k i harvested almost 4p's, with alot of work...

i found not rotating the plants too often. once a week was better than rotatin all the time.
i had nothing under my pots so i would take down all the plants that needed waterin each and ever time.... with only 175 plants i wanted to pull my hair out..... i mean i couldnt imagine 750.... crazy ballzie man... good luck... CC
