I started out with this great vision...
then I smoked. :eek:
My setup is three sections at: 3x3x9
the walls are 7 layers thick..
1.) White paint on the inside (additive: Heatshield R-20)
2.) Particle board
3.) Heatshield III 4'x250' *roll* (used for its heating/cooling properties; not for reflectiveness)
4.) Insulation
5.) Heatshield III
6.) Particle board or drywall
7.) Paint (additive: Heatshield R-20)
The Floor, ceiling, walls and doors all have the same width/protection; all around.
Keeping the temp inside stable as well as shielding heat signatures.
Their is one 6" vent fan in each section. Hoses lead to the edge of the attic and escape outside. (i intend on adding in-line ozone soon)
Section 1 - houses the clones in the bottom quarter and the Moms in the upper half.
Clones will have: New Wave T5 System - 2', 2 6500k Bulbs (cant afford this yet) :(
Moms have: Hydrofarm 125 watt Compact Fluorescent full spectrum bulb
Section 2 - 18hr room. Sun System Econogro MH 400 WATT
Section 3 - 12hr room. Sun System Econogro HPS 400 WATT
Section 4 - Is a seperate space with its own insulation and ventilation; for drying and cureing.
About 2' off the ground; for sections 2 and 3, im thinking I could add a shelf.
On the top I have four 3' x 6" pvp pipes, with five 5" net pot spaces.
(Hydrotron pebbles) for 5 plants per pvc to = 20 plants per section.
Below is for the res tank (plastic storage container)
[30' of 6" pvp tube plus 16 end caps came to around $150 from a local pluming contractor]
Where Im stuck is:
1.) will airstones in the res tanks and pvp tubes (for roots) and oscilating fan be enough O2? or will I have to install a fresh air intake to each section?
2.) How can i make transferring each pvp tube (containing 5 plants) from section 2 to section 3; easily?
Im going to have an airstone or two in each pvp section for the roots, plus the water in-line and drainage. Thats a bunch to have to unplug, replug. I wish I could put it on wheels; but the doors are just as thick as the walls; limiting movement.
Insidentally, I still havn't figured out how to make feet for the pvp tubes. I was thinking of smaller pvp with a few elbows and some glue...But am hoping others may have better ideas.
3.) How safe is it to install two new fuses in the box?
The point in this vision was to make things easier. But the more I put it together, the more complicated it became. :mad:
I have to stick with what I have now, because too much money has been invested already. I have clones waiting to go in; in a closet atm, that are too pathedic for me to even post pics of yet. They are alive but Im not sure for how long. I need to finish this project and get'r underway.
ANY advice is appricated.
*I'll try to attach a few pics of my progress so far..*
