24'' + complete guess I would imagine a well rooted plant will take rite off. Given the strain but in general im guessing.

36 - 40". I have some 36" kandy kush going at 29 days flower from clones no veg and wait.... drum roll.... no CO2 because I don't run CO2 in my personal grow when it's cool weather.

How tall do you think a sog from well rooted clones with no veg should finish? Average 60 day strain. lets say a kush strain for example.
I set the 1kw HID horizontally in a reflective bonnet. From the bottom of the glass to the surface of the gravel is about 44"'s. Most snips make it up to the bonnet so I LST them by tipping them by the roots while the table is flooded.

You lost me when you said you LST (light scissor train, trim?) I am a coco/ perlite grower.

7000 sqft needs to be set it and forget it for 60 days. Low Stress Training is too labor intensive to be considered unless plant count or ceiling height is an issue.

You could use 4x8 trays on rollers if you want.. might be duplo blocks on that scale (hint). I don't give up my large scale tricks on here lol.

In rock when the table is flooded the plant can be shifted by the roots. I do this because it exposes the entire plant to light and outta the bonnet. Much similar the way some people tie them down using string but done differently. I also don't have to adjust the bonnet using this method. I put in as many as 25 freshly rooted clones in a 4' x 4' x 6" table using a 1kw superace w/internal ignitor over each table. Each table is spaced 6-8"'s apart in rows of two leaving a walkway of two feet between each row.

U want low costs I'm sure I can help you without costing u a fortune. Yes all u growers are awesome. But room design on large scale that's my thing

Each 4x4 will take between 8-12 gallons of water depending on where you decide the flood level for best performance. The tables should be plumbed w/4" plastic pipe and the tables should all be fitted with standard drain spits w/1 1/2" plastic pipe. Each table requires an overflow(set at flood level) and the appropriate plumbing to accomodate the overflow(s).

240kw's of hps equals about 6000 square feet leaving 1000 square feet for res's and moms, cloning etc at an estimated $200,000Can even if you do the work assembling it yourself. If you are successful with your first grow this will give you about a $600,000 profit. The lights will need replacing periodically but the tables can go for years with very little mantainance.

One 1000 watter over a 4x4 tray area. 4x4 = 16 sqft of canopy.

400 x 16 = 6400 sqft

I can more than feed those rooms with 600 sqft canopy of moms and clones.
