Hah, yeah, it's pretty crazy, 24 3' plants compressed into a 46"'x20" space. That's 3.75 plants per square foot. Lol, didn't realize how insane it really was until I did the math.

The Sketch I did... Well as I recall in the first room the air intake was at the bottom. Just filtered. It had a big exhaust outlet at the top of the room the went outside then when you cross into the flowering section, he ported in cool air from the low air intake, ran it through a fan, through his HPS and then up and outside. Another air vent downlow is the fresh air for the plants. So three seperate air intakes down low and three exhaust ports above. I am pretty sure that is the way he had it.

Kronos,
Search out Justaseed and check out his ScroG grow logs. The guy is awesome. You can learn all you need to know and then some from him. Not seen him post lately, but his posts are still here.


best of luck,

Thank you i have been reading his posts. I also picked up a 600 digi with hps bulb, reflector, light socket, heavy duty timer for $289.00 from htgsupply came with 2 yr warranty. looked at lumatek and future bright brands only difference i noticed was warranty was longer. never heard of this brand but as long as it does what its suppose to do its all that matters. the name on the 600 digi i just picked up is " Digital Greenhouse" brand.

600 watt H.I.D. draws ~5 amps. You figure to only use 80% of the amperage of the breaker. I do not know what kind of flouros you are going to use. But to figure the amps you multiply bulb wattage times number of bulbs and divide that by 110, that will give you the amps.

If you do not know 100% absolutely positively sure what you are doing stay the fuck out of the breaker box. There is many a dead "I am an electrician" laying in the ground. I doubt you want your house to burn down either.

I'd order a Lumatek digital from bghydro.com. They are excellent, offer great customer service, and stand behind their products in the event you have a problem.

They have timers for your light as well.

I have yet to do s.o.g or ScroG, but you are on the right track with the rooted clones. You'll still want to veg them some though. There is a member here (cant remember name) who is a s.o.g god. His yields were massive. I think he vegged to 10-12" then put in screen. If I can think of name I'll post you a link later. He had it down to a science.

running the new line and adding the breaker to the breaker box was fairly simple....didnt take that long... shut off main breaker...this shut down rest of box but doesnt shut down the main lines coming in box, these lines are still hot and getting hit with 240 volts 110 per line would definetly kill your ass....as long as your carefull to not make contact with the two main lines into your service box your ok... hooked ground up first.....then neutral...then hot line into new breaker and snapped in place....put cover back on.... ran line to room to a junction box .... two lines out of junction for seperate gfci outlets.... turned power back on and checked gfci outlets and all work properly.... i read a few books about what i was getting into and followed step by step procedure and all is working well...im still here and not a charred piece of bacon....and everything is working propely and a ok
