Meeting with an electrical engineer soon to help design this so it can pass inspection.

Things are progressing nicely. I have secured the capital I need and this is about to get nuts. Applications for recreational licenses commence in T-Minus 7 weeks.
Final designs are still being negotiated but most likely I'm going to be running the POD design from chapter 4 but with one extra row. And the lower 600W watt will be replaced with a 1000W which means (2) 1000W bulbs and 4 rows per pod. ~16 Pods is the starting plan.

Not yet and its probably beyond the scope for Year 1. But I am making room for LED R&D during year 1.

Just a minor update guys. I've been experimenting with Cool Tubes and this is basically what I've come up with. I have two different products:
The Virtual Sun VSCR6000 and the iPower 6 inch cool tube (shown here). The VSCR's are quite a bit taller (not shown here).
I've settled on roughly the same POD design from before but just adding one more row for a total of 4 rows. I plan to use (2) of the VSCR's with 1000W HPS bulbs but if and when I encounter a strain that grows too far inward, then I am prepared to replace the tubes with the (3) iPower tubes using 600W HPS bulbs.
The basic idea here is that the carbon filter will serve as a foundation/base for the tubes to sit in. They will still need to be hung but more for stability and to prevent tipping. There will be a fan off somewhere connected to the top tube via flex duct sucking air. So the other purpose of the carbon filter is that clean air will be coming thru the tubes...hopefully will reduce the cleaning frequency.

Haha, I cheated and started on chapter 4...
Great set up man. Nice to see cool tubes been used for the system they seem to serve the best.
Awesome thread. Subbed, better late than never!

This journal is pretty much finished. I don't know what's going to happen with the recreational thing. It's on hold.
But thank you!

Depending on what you like, Chapter 1 is pretty cool and fun. Chapter 2 sucked. Chapter 3 was the birth of the octagon/nft idea and chapter 4 was a polished version of it. So 2 and 3 can prolly be skipped.

This thread has ended. My latest grow is in my signature. I will be starting a brand new journal in a few months - probably called something like "The Diggity Lab" or something cheezy like that. I've got all kinds of fun stuff in the works and I don't want to have journals spread out all over the place.

I've been following Chapter #4 and am amazed at your results! Can't wait for The Diggity Lab.
