because ive got x6 hps .... and cfls can go closer to the plants without burnin them so they make perfect side lights... i havent got any heat issues i just bought a 15 000 btu air con system

looking S W E E E T Snoopdog, whats the plan, get everything into NFT? What colour LED panels you gettin? cant wait to see them! How many plants all in/are they sexed?
Im jealous as hell, probably more of the room size you have than the actual set-up. Im so restricted, I need to move house, lol.
One thing I noticed a while back is your wiring mate. Sleeves of some cables not secured in Glands, sockets are a bit low and a lot of cabling on the ground. A few adjustments and not only is your room bitchin, its safe. The health and safety act 1974... . lol
Keep it safe brother

thanks for the advice dr jones .......ive moved all sockets and connections off the floor everything else will be fine .... im buyin x4 blue and red spectrum pannels and 1 super red led pannel so 5 in all .... since ive added the cfls my plants are looking way more healthy ... the nft setup just adds to yield im addin the other nft at the later stages ... that way i can do 60 plants and over .... the last thing im going to buy is a ozone ....then thats my setup finished the way i want ...

Bro, I just read through your entire thread and I got to say I am impressed. Yeah, the more lights you have, the bigger buds you'll get. I have a question. What type of water are you using for your plants? I don't know if I might have read over it and forgot, but I don't think I did. Any who, if you want another toy to help your plants along, might I suggest a RO (reverse osmosis) system? Again sorry if you already stated it, I've just come to far and done to much to go skimming through it now...and my bong is calling my name for another session. ^.^ I wish big buds for you in your future.
Peace

Nice Room!! I'm running 12lighter, 1000watts and have had great success but I am afraid to post pics. Are your plants still yellowing? if they are I have to agree with the RO system, it helps with the ppms also give them some cal-mag that should help with any defeciencies, GOOD LUCK!!

thanks for the advice i will buy a ro machine just not yet ive spent way to much money lol and im not willin to spend no more yet ..... after this first crop then i will buy one ... as i will be spendin alot of money on electric runnin this system
im lucky i live in a soft water area and the ph straight out of the tape is 5.7 ... so im not to worried ... i added sum ph down to the aeroponics .... and ever since then the plants have been yellow..... i never had these proberlms on the last crop

Hey Snoop!
Love your setup man! Looks really sweet! But I'm wondering about a couple of things with your lights. I see that you have bought both HPS, LED and CFLS. CFLs are great considering the PAR is almost 100%, but the photon strenght is not as good as your HPS lights. You can of course compensate for this by placing the lamps closer to the plants, also because the cfls don't produce the kind of heat that your hps does. But this of course will get tricky without shading the hps light. Moving the cfls higher will ruin their light intesity. My question is why aren't you using Metal Halide instead of Cfls and LED? Together with HPS this creates a very good/optimal balance, and is especially important/effective during the growth stage. This is atleast my experience. I've been doing both CFLs and HPS and MH, and got way bether results with the last option.
The second thing is with the kind of money you have put into this project it somewhat amazes me too see that you haven’t invested in any light mover.
With your air cooling it should be possible with small straight lined light mover. With this you could move the lights closer to the plants, as the light is moving and doesn't shine on the same spot all the time, the plants dont get overheated. This will also make your plants thicker, as all of the plant will get some kind of light at some point and at a higher intensity. Instead of having leaves or other plants shading for them.
What are your thoughts about light movers?
My dream design though would be 2 four armed circular movers à 3 x 600W HPS and 1 x 600W MH, This combined with a liquid cooling system for the lamps, means you can move the lamps almost to the touching point of your plants. The design is very difficult and expensive. But it will by preserving the intensity of the light and giving them the “sun circle” from the mover, give the plants the ultimate conditions for yield and quality.

mh produces more heat then cfls ... so why would i run x6 hps and then mh aswell ..... also light movers are good but i wana produce monster size plants so givin it a constant light always works better .... cfls have gone closer but i had postion them right so they work as side lights ..... and my hps is dual spectrum it works as good as the mh check the dual spectrum bulbs for hps ...
