1600Kw vertical grow tent. Hybrid Aero/RDWC build.

[drekoushranada]

I finally have the things I need to get this thing off to the races. I will post pics as I go along. I figure it will take me about 4-8 hours to build. So have a bit of patience with me. By the way my Critical +, Blue Widow, Northern Lights x Big Bud, AK-48, and some random bag seed all popped. I soaked them in some water in a cup for a few hours and then used the paper towel method. So im super stoked! Not bad for a first timer This site has helped a ton!!

Very nice looking setup. Clean and organized. Your running a 1k and 600w light?

Correct I am running a 600kw MH for veg but a 1000kw hps and the 600kw MH will be used for Flower. The 1000Kw is a dimmable digital ballast and the 600kw is a galaxy regular digital ballast. BTW ppl to make your life a boat load easier when using uniseal. GRAB SOME 2" COUPLERS!!!! That way u can force one side in at a time and wont have to fight the damn thing. It hit me late. So off to the hardware store I go.

Since you are using what I use as a res. for pots, I have to ask what you are using as a res. Looks sweet!

I am using the samething for a res. The res is on the outside of the tent. I will post a pick up of it when I get home.

Going to be interesting to see what you can grow in 27 gallon pots! I saw 1 guy that used 50 gallon pots for his containers. Claimed to get 10 pounds per.

Cheers to you!

Here are a few more pics. The items have been dry fitted. I am trying to figure out if I want to use pvc cement on the 2" pipe...??? I think I may go with silicone if I have to take it apart at some time or point I can. What do you guys and girls think about it so far?

 

[BendBrewer]

So your pump is external and draws from the plant tubs back to the res?

Its a 550 gph that with be inside of the res. It with power the misters and at the same time draw the water back. I will post a few more pics up in a hour so you will better understand it. Im sure im not giving a good explanation of the system.

 

[BendBrewer]

It's almost an Undercurrent system. I really like it and you should be able to grow trees!

Thats what I hope to do!

 

[drekoushranada]

This is how the misters will be set up.

 

[drekoushranada]

Please feel free to ask questions and give some advice!

 

[drekoushranada]

Well I did a test run and im happy to report that there is no leaks!

 

[mr.bond]

How are you keeping the misters from spraying liquid out from under the lid? My buddy used the same tubs in a similar setup but had to abandon it after massive leakage... even though the lid sits flush it doesn't seal.

Also I noticed you painted the lids. How is the light penetration after doing that?

Looking good so far! Cheers!
