Just a question if you could build both fixtures again would you consider less 288 or 96’s? Also what meter are you using for light readings?

I was reading a thread a little bit ago and someone posted a pic of their own setup. It used a 4x4 flood table. But instead of Rockwool or any medium he had a table top with holes drilled in it. He used neoprene collars and aero cloned into the tops. He ran the ebb and flow sort of like a...

Keep going gentlemen. I love the HPS vs LED debate. I lean more towards or_gro but do see why alot people lean towards HPS

I mean you don’t need the fixture to fully spin. You want to hang 9 light bars correct. Therefore 360 degrees /9 = 40 degrees of rotation. So theoretically you could have the fixture go left and right 40 degrees and not fully around. Means you won’t need a slip ring connector. Just have a...

I’m a master electrician in Canada. I can tell you for a straight fact. Homedepot won’t even know where to start on this. They barely know how to hang a light let alone design one. I have ideas on how to build the proper fixture but it’s way to complex to even attempt to describe from my head

I found this as well. But it’s also $560 plus shipping. Add that to the cost of everything else he’s talking about doing. Just the cost of a true High pressure aeroponic and the LEDs. Interested to see him actually attempt to build this

And I’m saying you should find a way to rotate the entire middle around stationary lights.

I agree with teknik here. Rotating lights means rotating electrical connections have having them “dangling” is just asking for a fire hazard and something to fuck up. Much easier to put all your res stuff on a lazy Susan and use a motor to spin it. This is a really complex setup I really...

You may be trying something different I’m sure everyone will give you that. However I suspect you haven’t grown cannabis before based on reading through some of your threads. Your attempting a highly percise aeroponic setup that depends on immaculate canopy training. Good luck I’ll tune in...

No offence but your system is going to be extremely over priced with 9 led lights hanging and add in motors and controls to spin everything. Better start googling slip ring connectors

I appreciate the obvious statement. That’s why I said the Ferris wheel garden will be more efficient. But whatever. What do I know. Good luck I’ll keep following along and see how this turns out

Your a dreamer I’ll give you that. And a big dreamer to boot. Interested to see if you actually build this and get a model working. and then do a full grow out of it

yes the wheel sucks for canopy access. However for efficiency it compares directly to a straight vertical with plants surrounding the light. I agree yours will maximize space compared to a standard grow but your cost will be higher then the volksgarden on the shear fact your buying more...

I think you will be more expensive this way. More or less your making a verttical system with a light mover. I’ll like to seethe retail of this vs the volksgarden

I’m just trying to figure out why your reinventing the wheel. The most efficient way is having the light in the middle with the Planta surround the light

One last thing. You say commercial grow system. Just want to point out 2 points. 1) if you want to sell to black market growers they most tend to love their HPS 2) if you want to sell A true commercial piece of equipment everything you use for materials will have to be of proper grade (food...

Also I keep seeing you mentioning exact numbers for plant height after after stretch and very exact plant measurements. Which strain to you plan to run? As every strain has different height and spacing needs as well as a training method best suited to the strain

Here’s something to consider. You mentioned having the lights “spinning” keep in mind that is an intricate hanger to allow adjustment and spinning. Also keep in mind each light has a power cord so up will need to find a way to allow the power connections to spin with the lights. Also make...

Small UPS system may give a few hours at max otherwise your looking at generator but that’s a massive cost

Do you know that’s the first time I can think of that someone has mentioned this? I mean seems obvious but I can see how people would overlook this when comparing the 2 for purchase. Great honest feedback to add for anyone looking at these 2 options
