kuji..if you are talkin to al no his 400 is not tubed.
bug... i think u are on the right track. 1 1000 would be perfect over a 4x4 area which has 1 2x4 flood table and 2 2x2 flood tables to make a 4x4 square right? thats gives your area 62.5 watts per sf which is plenty all you have to do is use separate pots to move them about to get good equal growth.

that'll do.
You might be able to combine trays 1 & 2 (wks 1-2 and 3-4) but giving separate trays & tanks to plants in wks 4-6 and 6-8 allows you to dose the wk 5 plants with PK for a week without dosing others.
However, I find having 4 identical tanks simplifies matters- I know all 4x 125L tanks will get 400ml each Canna Flores A&B every time. Also, having 4 separate tanks, trays and pumps means that a pump failure affects fewer plants.
Nope. I would have a hard time fitting in the ducting because of the narrowness of the space and the tube's axis being perpendicular to the long dimension of the floor. If I turned the lamp around 90 degrees, it would be easy, but then the light would mainly be on the walls and not the plants. It's also not as critical an issue in this space as vegging plants are not as persnickety about temp. They are pretty much OK from 18C-28C. Lower temps slow growth and higher temps tend to cause some elongation, but you can pick how much stem you want to use when you're doing the cuttings, so it's not something I've put a lot of work into.

Hey Al (or any other commercial growers),
Is growing marijuana your only income? What do you do with all that cash?
People always say to just buy the little things with cash and the important things like car payments and rent with your legitimate money. However, when the vast majority of your money is "dirty" cash, that becomes a little more difficult.
Since I am about to build the growroom I've been discussing with you guys, I've been trying to figure out what to do with all the money. Not everything can be settled with just cash without the IRS getting all over your ass, so do you have any advice?
Would it be unwise to open accounts at 5 different banks and deposit 200 bucks cash into each account every two weeks?
Tax evasion isn't my cup of tea.

I doubt this is the place you'd want to write about money laundering.
There are ways to do it.. like with loans.. but you didn't hear that from me.

Giving me advice is not an admission of guilt!
Plus, I would NEVER consider breaking any law.. caugh ah hem

I'm not prepared to detail my income sources, but I can give some general suggestions.
Cover your tracks by making very few.
Pay cash for everything you possibly can, up to limits on cash transactions which are reportable to tax authorities.
If you need to buy a car worth more than a couple thou, take out a loan and pay it off- quickly, but regularly. Never anything flash. Find a local car park with about 100 cars. Buy a copy of whatever you find at least 20 of!
Recent model and expensive cars are not recommended, unless you live in Beverly Hills. Looking a little poor (but never trashy) is good security. A 10-20 yr old ordinary car is great urban camouflage, but you will be able to afford to keep it in faaaabulous mechanical condition- important if moving buds anyway. Not so much as dodgy windscreen blades, much less a taillamp out. Nothing to attract attention. Mags, fat tyres, lowered, wings, body kits, tinted, silly neon lights, etc all say "Officer, won't you PLEASE pull me over and have a look under my seats & in the glovebox?"
A clever old friend once bodged up a credible 'pizza delivery' sign for his car windows and used to have an insulated pizza bag he'd carry buds in. No one questions a 5 minute late night visitor from Luigi's Pizza. 
Your driving style should be courteous and on pace with other traffic at or below the speed limit. Stereo off (unless listening to traffic reports), pull over if you have to use your phone, even if it's still legal to use one while driving in your area.
If you can pay util bills in cash at grocery stores, post ofcs etc. that helps. No 'grey $' through bank accts. Pay 'white $' bills with 'white $' where possible. Leaves tracks, but no one leaves zero. Looks normal.
Don't buy hydro gear on credit cards unless your shop will agree not to use the word 'HYDRO' or 'HYDROPONICS' in the notes that appear on your statements. Some will accommodate you if you ask nicely. Mine gives no obvious clue of the nature of the biz. Anyone looking over my records won't be immediately tipped- security by obscurity isn't the best way, but can help you. Card payments can often be done in cash at post offices, etc. It's best not to use cards if you can avoid it.
And lastly... never order beans to an address where they will be grown! EVER!

Well, then think of it as a hobby.

Patently unwise. Banks demand rather comprehensive ID & tax numbers to open an acct these days. If you fake it and get busted, you're up for ID fraud & money laundering.

Good- up to using the wife's name. If the worst happens, she's implicated. Better to give her plausible deniability- the ability to say she didn't know nuthin'. SDBs are good because no one knows wot goes in or out but you. Not so sure about buying gold- sounds like a way to leave tracks.

Damn, the large adjustawing which will take 2 bulbs is £125 here in England, but I suppose a small price to pay for good illumination
medium one is £65 in fact that seems rather a lot to pay seeing as it isn't double the size
Al have you seen this new shade from adjustawing
Powerplant Adjustawing Mantis Pro Reflector

But gold bought in Australia and worn back to the US leaves no tracks, my wife has a few. Vacations can cost a few hundred or a few thousand, so can home improvements. Its easier to hide than you think. VV

hm, I can get them for about 98 squid but the shipping from Aus would make it worse than £125, sorry.Damn, the large adjustawing which will take 2 bulbs is £125 here in England, but I suppose a small price to pay for good illumination
