I found a used one at a local shop the other day and got it for $50. I am gonna use it to run my lights when I get my other 2 1000w going.

Something like this for the pumps? I'd only be running 4 pumps
Think I'd need any for lighting? I'm just gonna run a 125w for clone, 325w for veg, and ~800 w for flower plus the fans

Thats the exact same one I picked up used for $50. Thats a great price for one of those. Buy it! You will be stoked! You can run up to 1 1000w or 2 600s on one digital timer so you'll be fine. Anything over that you'll want multiple timers or a hub.

That's the timer I use for the NFT pumps.It's rated for 15A, and draws a single amp.
I own three. One for each area.

The floor plan shows the 2nd floor divided into two rooms. The flower room will be divided by 2"×6" stud wall filled with 6" insulation, then probably a 4'×8' r6 insulation board. I'll then tape the joints and attach panda film. It will be completely sealed. The 2 white lines going vertical down that image is the panda film that will be from top of light fixture to floor. Just keeping the light at the top of screens.

The hub has a trigger cable, and a power source cable. Trigger cable probably already installed (at least mine had one). Mine did not have the power source cable installed but that is super easy just follow the schematic on the lid.
Pumps go into the 4 outlets, trigger cord goes into the timer, timer goes into an outlet, power source cord plugs into a different outlet.

Honest opinions needed. So I'm thinking for my first floor fruits/veggies. I'll actually go with a few flood tables, keeping the rail systems to a minimum. Updated floor plan, but still not done.

Dude thats gonna be great! I wish I had that kind of space! I think your on the right track for sure. I have very little experience with growing veggies, but have heard great things about flood to drain. The only thing I ever worry about when entering plants of any kind into my grow is other pests. I even made my wife toss all the house plants, lol. Thats why I have never messed with veggies. I know its doable, but I am always paranoid about bugs.

Did you cut holes in the relfective insulation at the same time as the tote?

I do it afterward because the holes in the insulation have to be slightly larger than the 2" holes that are cut in the lid. I use a razor blade. To be honest its a total bitch so I will probably just paint the top with a dark primer and then spray it whit like I did with the cloner. Since I am running HOt5s for my veg they dont put off that much heat so all I have to worry about is keeping the light out of the root chamber.
How is the build going @ThaMagnificent ? post some pics!

So, I fibbed a little when I said I owned three.
The third one came today, and it has a busted off relay. It would only stay off for five seconds. So I called GH, who called Sentinel for the RMA. Sentinel's QC engineer called me to gather data in order to troubleshoot. And true to form, he was an awkward dude to talk to. Super focused on figuring out what was wrong. I can totally relate.
I'm super bummed about this, because it delays my flowering startup. I'm considering getting a timer with 15 minute intervals and doing 15 on, 45 off until the low range recycle is fixed. I have flower jones.

working on it. I ended up buying the hdx 27 gal totes from HD and I just drilled the holes in the top. I'm going to have to take off 2in from the rails in the aero to make room. I guess the dimensions are a little different from rubbermaid?

Question about the totes? I've done a few for cloning.. Do you ever have issues with leaking from the edges? I was but found some waterproof window sealer material with adhesive on one side that I applied to the lip of the bottom section and close the lid on top. Seems to work great for me.
What do you guys do?

Silicone or butyl rubber weather stripping. Go back about 5 to 10 pages and there are pictures of it.
