For you growers that use this method, do you just clean the buckets at harvest then? I was under the impression you had to clean the buckets every time you changed the water, but maybe that's not the case?

What state are you growing these beasts? Did you give them nutes and how often? Did you replace the soil where you planted them?

This is a rough example of what he's talking about...http://www.renovation-headquarters.com/images4/pocket%20door%20rough-in%20framing%20cr.jpg

Nvm, i figured out how to calculate it. For anyone interested, here's the breakdown: - i have a 4 wire feeder cable (2 hot, 1 neutral, 1 ground) powering a sub panel which is 65amps @ 240v - both of the hot wires = 65amps @ 120v - If i install a 240v circuit that draws 30amps, it draws from 30...

So, i'm running a 240V 65amp feeder cable(four copper wires: two 6 gauge hot wires, one 6 gauge neutral, and one 8 gauge ground) from my main panel out to the sub panel in my grow room. Here's what i'm planning to have on my sub-panel: 30amp breaker for 240v circuit 20amp breaker for 120v...

Thanks for the feedback. That definitely gives me a starting point for finding the proper ventilation equipment. As for the 3x600's vs 2x1000's, this is an argument that i see pretty often, but how exactly are 3x600's more efficient? I have heard that it would be a more even light spread, but...

Bump. Hopefully someone out there can provide some helpful info on this.

This is the setup i'm referring to, btw.

So, with this setup, how big of ducting should i be using? 6" or 8'? Also, how big of inline fan would i have to use to make sure it's properly vented? I know nothing about fans and venting, so i could really use some help from someone with experience. Also, what kind and how big of an air...

Scoob, after breezing through the manual for the 8DX light controller, i couldn't help but notice that what it does is extremely basic. You seem like a technical DIY kind of guy, so i thought this might interest you. http://www.hydroponics.net/learn/grow-light-controller.asp I'm considering...

I was interested in the exhaust fan controller more than anything tbh. Is there a separate one i can buy that'd do the job? Also, what about a timer for the lights? The 8DX is a dual trigger, but doesn't control the schedule for the lights. Is there a simple and cheap timer that you'd recommend...

Scoob, thank you again for the enormous amount of help. I was getting worried that i would never find a controller that i could use for my setup, but the CAP MLC-8DX would work PERFECTLY! Looks like i'll have to pair it with a $500 controller too...The 8DX manual says i'll either the CAP Xtreme...

Thanks Warlock. I was considering making a separate 15-20 amp 120v circuit for my grow room, but i just wanted to double check to see if it was possible to run those T-5's off 240v. The only reason i would want to do that is for efficiency and so that i could run all of the light load off of one...

Damn Scoob, thanks for the effort to help me visualize the layout. Much appreciated. My question tho, is how big of difference will it make if i don't want to wall off the area between the two rooms? I'm thinking i really only want to create 1 wall in the shed. Would using a wall-to-wall tent...

The shed is 20'x14', but i'm not going to use the entire thing for my grow. I was considering framing up a partition directly in the middle and using half as my shop and the other half as my grow room, but that would only leave me roughly 9'x14' (126sqft). Would that be enough room to have the...

Do you use DWC? Also, with those size plants, what's your typical yield? (i know there are a lot of other factors that come into play)

So, you're saying 1x600w MH would work to veg 8 plants? I would assume that'd have to be on a light track or something, right? It's also worth noting that i have never actually grown indoor before, so i'm relatively unsure as to what i should expect as far as plant size during each stage...How...

Ok, since no one wants to kick this off, i'll just list the design i was considering running and you guys pick it apart for its flaws or add improvements as you might see fit. 3 Tents: - 1 small tent for mothers and clones with T5 CFL's - 1 large tent for Under Current DWC veg with 2x1000w...

It's also worth noting that i have completely sealed the shed at this point, other than roof vents. I have a nice thick door, no windows, and no skylights.

Ok, so as i have read many many posts on here about different ways to design a grow room, i want to see what the experts say about possibilities for my situation. My grow room is a blank canvas at this point. I have bought zero equipment thus far and i have done no modifications to the grow...
