I'm still contemplating using a screen.. Not sure if it will be necessary since my plants probably wont finish over 2' - 2 1/2'
Thanks for the input ak!

I feel you on that. In my other room I use (1) Magnum XXL per 4'x6' table. I decided to try (2) hoods per table in this room since the the hoods are much smaller and don't put out the same footprint as a Magnum. Plus I figure I might as well overkill it since the A/C can handle it.

Total cost for the room? I couldnt give you an exact number I lost track. I'm sure you could make a shopping list from the info i post though.
Per cycle I'm guessing about 4k not including electricity. New nutes, bulbs, blocks, coco mats, clones every run.

So I just realized this room has 9k watts, not 11.. Sorry about that, but I will be adding (3) more 1000w in the near future.
hellraizer was right, 11k would be overkill for this room. I'll post some pics of the 11k room tonight when the lights come on.

you should cut the wattage in half for that amount of tables in my opinion. Your gonna be wasting a lot of light and honestly I think your gonna be disappointed with your yield. Id also go with 1000 watts per 16 plants or per table.

yea i was going to use a screen but then i decided to just tie them down to the pots with fishing line, i just drilled holes in the top of the pots they were in and tied all the branches down with string real well, no net needed. all the net does is help spread out the canopy, you can do that by hand, good luck bro
ps im abut to harvestlike any day now starting monday so they were almost done, i will take some pics for you to help give you an idea, later dude

Here's the 11k room that my buddy runs. He likes organic stuff so he uses coco. These were flipped about a week ago.
Tahoe cuts are mostly rooted. Gonna give them another 7-10 days before I throw them under the 600.
And here's my other room I mentioned with the (4) Magnum XXL's and (1) Blockbuster. I'll try to document this one as well but I'll mainly focus on the other room.

you could grow a mother plant in another room, while you wait for harvest, then turn the entire plant into clones.

Good suggestion I've actually been thinking about doing this. I'll probably keep 2-3 mothers I just need to make some space in my veg room.
polyarcturus whats your cloning technique for rockwool cubes?

whats your preference on the hydrofarm hoods vs the magnums. I had a buddy who ran magnums and said it was a huge mistake because it spread the light too much. Not concentrated down. BUT thats him. Have you had experience with the magnums? Im using a 1000watt MH in a magnum for my veg plants. Works great from what i can tell

I think Magnums are perfect for a 4x4 area. 4x6 is pushing it but I don't mind in the 5k room. I think 2 Hydrofarm hoods per table will have better overall intensity. Plus I'm not using any glass on the hoods.
For a veg hood you couldn't get any better.

Whats the rough estimate of monthly rent/bills of a place with that sorta set up. How many rooms you got total there? What do you say you use that space for?

rinse cubes, take cutting dip in hbormex for 2 min. place in cube. shake the cub gently using inertia to allow the water to fall out, when it feels almost void of water i place cutting/cube in a HIGH WALLED but open container and spray daily with distilled with 5ml dynagrow grow per gal. weighing thre cubes with my hand an shaking out the water as needed.
(when i say "shaking out the water" i simply start rhe cube at shoulder level in my hand,allow my hand to fall and stop as fast as i can at waste level, it its a large bendy clone i support it between my fingers as i do this)
personaly i use rockwool and bubble cloner. i like the bubble cloner, 100% thus far in distilled, rockwool is in second then aero. reverse for amount of time to root.
