22' x 10' Grow Room (IN-PROGRESS)

[Pauly1118]

So I have the actual room built.. Drywall & Insulated and ready for equipment but I'm waiting to finish this last crop but here is the list of equipment I'm going to use, Would like you know what you guys think !!

48x 150w LED (12"x12" Panels)
96x 3 Gallon Air Pots
2x 12" A/C Infinity Inline Fans
2x 12" Carbon Filters
2x 18k BTU Mini Splits (Air-Con)
4 or 8 Burner CO2 Generator
180 PPD Dehumidifier
6x 12" Wall Mounted Fans (3 Each 22' Wall)
2x 58 Gallon Barrel (Res. Nutrient Tanks)
96x 6" Water Halo Emitters
Full PVC Irrigation System
4x 5 GPH Water Pumps
Super Soil Mix
(Peat/Perlite/Castings/Compost/Manure)

I'm probably forgetting a few things but for the most part I think I got the most important things.. Let me know what you guys think and what type of yield you think I could pull.. I'll be using clones that I'm taking from a mother plant I pheno hunted out of 30 seeds.. I'll be cloning for 14 days in my 4x 27 gallon DWC/AEROPONIC totes, each tote with 24x 3" A/C Infinity Net pots/2" Rockwool cubes/mini hydroton
Then I'll transplant the 96x clones into 96x 1 gallon fabric pots for 45 days while topping each plant 1-3 times and incorporate LST all of the branches, then I'll transplant the 96x plants into the 96x 3 gallon air pots and then into the flowering room for 8-9 weeks.. my guess or at least what I'm hoping for yield wise would be upwards of 15-20 LBS

So you just setting these pots on the ground? What’s your drainage set up for this

pictures of the room?

Exciting build. But i sure would get like 8 600 watt led. Sounds like a waste of time and money doing 48 little baby panels. I’d your going all out get some real lights there

 

[green_machine_two9er]

Also on secoind thought your soil plan is not going to work well. 3 gallon pots for month and half veg…. No Beuno unless your growing in coco or peat. But “super soil” won’t do. 3 gallon pots would be for straight to flower no veg time

No shit. Going to have a full wall of drivers and wires.

I hope you change your mind about all those 150W panels.. Check out the HLG 650s if price is a concern they also sell refurbished lights. I’m not saying HLG or nothing but any decent light over those ones.

whats the electrical situation? how big is the panel for this building you should look into running all your lights on 240v maby add a flipbox to your list make sure to get one with a trigger cord rather than a built in timer. also i wouldnt go with all those tiny panels bigger led lights for sure either pick quantom board or strip build. also your talking about a co2 burner but you didnt mention what kind, does the building have natural gas? or a large propane tank outside the building that gets filled every so often? whats the story on the fuel for that burner your not planning on driving to the store to buy a little tank every so often. lets see some pictures of this sealed room id like to see just how sealed it is.

can you get a box that converts 120 to 240 or is that not a thing?

yes, you plug all your lights into it they have a cord on them you plug your timer into

Yes you can. But you don't want that. Running a transformer to take your 120 to 240v totally defeats the point of running on 240v which is to gain efficiency. But you'll just be adding transformer losses in addition to the drivers AC to DC conversion losses.

Couldn't I use it to reduce the amperage load on my electrical system? Say I don't have the amps to run the watts I need on 120, would this conversion box give me less total amps at the wall? Or do I need to go the new breaker box route?

I'd add in a new 240v breaker in your box if you have room.

not the answer I wanted but the one I expected lol

It won't save you any amperage load on the 120V circuit. and you'll have transformer losses.

this is the correct advice. This is the best from an efficiency and reliability standpoint. Even price probably. For what you would pay for an adequate transformer it's probably cheaper to run the 240V breaker and dedicated line.

Gah why are you all always making so much more work for me! (-;

It will be worth it in the end.

yes it would reduce the amperage, for example i have a box that is 30 amps at 240v. it can run 4000 watts safely. if i wanted to run 4000 watts on 120v prolly need 4x 15 amp circuits assuming you dont exceed 70% of load per circuit so that would add up to 60 amps on 120v. i would say its worth it to run all your lights on 240v just get led lights that are setup to run on 240v

This is why I changed to 200amp service.
Lots of room

Same here.
