The Ebb and Grow Flower Vault

[joshdub]

So this past weekend we were pretty busy constructing the most bad ass flower room...

The room demensions are 8x10x8.
3 1000 watt HPS lights in mangnum XXXL 6" hood running on Galaxy Select-A-Watt ballast
And were using the ebb and grow system using 20 sites.

Today was the icing on the cake... the lights got put in and hung, ducting piped, and the lovely ladies transplanted to their new homes

and if you notice we didnt use the light yo yos... we put em up and couldnt take our hands off the light cause we couldnt trust the lil piece of plastic and cheap string holding em... so we got the ones in the pic... very nice and sturdy

Hope you guys like and hope you follow along

yoyo balls are garbage IMO. I don't know what they are called but I made the switch to the ones you are using 1 week after purchasing the yoyo balls and the difference was night and day. I can raise and lower my lights in about 3 seconds as opposed to lets say 1 minute with the yoyo's. GoodLuck with the set up it looks awesome! Question though maybe you haven't had it running long enough to know yet but how many cfm fan are you using to cool those big boys and are the temps to each light going to vary? I'm sure you considered it while making your room but I didn't:jointsmile:A couple on one side burned while ones under other light were fine.

Looks like a nice setup. I'm running same system in the basement atm, only running 10 sites for it's virgin run so I can get it dialed in some.

im not sure what the cfms are on the fan but its a 6inch fan and it seems to be working... the temp down by the plant stalk is 72 with humidity playing around the 40s... but ya these light clips are so SO SO SO much better dont waste your time with the yoyos just get these no matter what!!! youll be happy spending a lil more to make sure your lights dont go crashing down killing your ladies...
were using general hydroponiics in the 3 part system and diamond nector... is there other stuff we should add to get the best yeild/taste...
we got some sample pacs of SUPERNATURAL BRAND 3-PACK AQUA hydro plant food... just not sure if its ok to mix that in with the GH.. it came with Grow Aqua, Bloom Aqua and Super Boost...
but more pics will be posted in a week or so with the light change to get the befores and afters... im already starting to drool... its just so exciting

and Floranectar!!!! WELL WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!

I use GH 3-part and very happy with it. I also use Latewoods legacy as a baseline for mixture. The only thing I have run to date is the 3-part, Superthrive and Koolbloom. Will be adding the others as soon as I can afford but have read and seen great results from their use.

Marty I didnt mention Floranectar as I saw was using Diamond Nectar.

how many times are you watering your 10 site? and for how long? we found it take 10 to 15 to fill and drian and we have been having it go for 30 mins and im not sure if its long enough...

[tinytoon]

Mine takes about 3 mins to fill the 10 buckets. total time set on timer is 15 mins. In veg flood 5 times a day only during "daylight" hours and during flower 4 times a day during "daylight" hours.
