ideal 7'X 12' room ideas wanted

[mrduke]

I'm going to be builing a friend a 12 x12 shed to store some shit in and grow in half of it. the grow area will be 7'x12'and 8' tall. I was thinking 2 1000's on light movers. over two ebb flo tables.

what would your ideal setup be?

I use the ebb&gro bucket system and think it pretty cool, use tables in the past,maybe areo??

let me have it

Ideally, you would split it in half and use a light on each side, one for vegging, one for flowering. Ideally.

How's the security, that's like the worst spot to do this ..

What is his long term goals? one shot deal? any other equipment?

 

[mrduke]

security is not a question,
this will be set up for quit a while,
yes that would be best but he wants massive harvest every three months or so a little less work, u know.

EBB&Flow table are good as well as aero setup... 2x 1000w is fine but 1x more 400 or 600 watters right in the center of the 2x 1K... would be ideal since you will be using 12' long... but in that small area with those such a lights you will need to consider investing few hundreds in cooling equipement...

Can i ask how many bb's are going to grow in there?

Cheers.

there will be some where around 40 plants and all lights will have vented hoods

hood vented good, but top growers, getting close to 1g a wtt is going to less then 1000watts per a 5x5 area, think of 12x5' with 3 1000 watters, you should pull close to 3 to 5 lb a grow, you do need temp control, and Co2 to get these njumbers, tho.

Look into a stadium aeroponics system. Checkout northern farmers grow and offgridpowers grows.

well you have 84 sq feet, you really want to get as close to 50 w per foot for tight buds, so thats around 4k watts, if i were you i would shoot for 3 lights if you want to use all the space or your most productive bet would be 2 rooms, the table in one with 2 1000's over it and a small veg room with a 600, with that setup you could pull harvests every 3 months easily, without a seperate veg room the whole 3 month turn around is tough to pull off, on paper its easy but it rarely happens, as for the light movers they really wont increase the amount of space you can cover by more than 20% without stretching however they will do wonders if you dont try and have it run around the whole room ya know

I have a similar setup I'm doing. I have 2x1000w puting in a 8x8 space. 2 nft I built myself. Each system have 3 4ft rails with 8 grow holes each, so 2x3x8=48plants. My goal is to harvest 1.5 lbs month.I also will have a veg room with 600wer. Thoughts

i would go 4 600 watters on light movers and as close to the plants as you can, in an aeroponic/nft system for best results... check out stinkbuds design... its very basic without any growing medium. i dont use his nutrient assault on the plants, i let the plants tell me how much they want. my second choice would be a bucket ebb/grow system.
