High Tech
I've posted this on other sites, am not getting any feedback.
I'll be changing to something a little different. I hope I can rattle some cages and get some input. I'll be posting some chicken scratch drawings, and making alot of reference links to information and products.

Please, keep in mind, this is still in the thinking stage. And, quite dependant on technology and prices, which is dropping fast, im happy to say. We want more power, less space, less price.
I'll be prototyping only one of three different sized compartments first. The 96 cubic foot Pod should provide room for four and possibly 6 plants. Maylar lined with spray adhesive, if possible. (any thoughts)

Lighting will be LED, for too many reasons to list here. I'll give you a reference, cause nobody says it easier than somebody else.

They know all the numbers, but we want powerful numbers. So, I'm going to build my own. And, hopefully save from their pricetag. Examples, of what im looking at.

Ratios would run roughly 70% red(625-630, 25% blue(465-470), 5% green(525). Changed for optimum performance and at various intravals through out the grow cycle. There are many applications LED's can be used for. I might break out some more ideas on those later on.
Plants will be grown Rockwool and 4" net pots, in three, to possibly four, liter open air root chambers. Which will be secured to 2.5 gallon reservoir. Nutrients will be sprayed into the chamber with mister nozzles mounted to each side using a submersible mini pump (See: chicken scratch #1). I know that ultrasonic foggers will be used in the smaller plant and clone chambers, but still debating use for large scale plants. An air pump, placed outside the building, and stones will provide fresh air for the roots. Left long enough, the air tube can be coiled over a heater and provide some warmth to the reservoir. Some example products.

I'll leave this thread open for a few hours for any Q&A, then I'll continue the setup.
