What's going on everyone. So the times come where I'm building my lower maintenance dream setup. Saying goodbye to the old tent today and everything new should be at the door today in big brown boxes. So Ill be using a vivosun 60x48x80 double chambered tent (same one i've been using but mines been 48x36x72). Powering flower chamber I will be using (3) mars hydro sp150 lights and (1) spider farmer 2000. That should give me 605 real world led watts so right around 38 watts p/sqft. Ideally I would like to have (2) autotray 8 systems so I can do a 16 plant sog.
On the right side of the tent there are (2) vertically stacked 12x48x40 chambers. I'll be raising height of 1st chamber to 50"height and will use that to veg and play with autoflowers when I feel like it. the second top section 12x48x30 will be used with very low wattage leds so I can preserve a few mothers and house them there in small 6" pots. the bigger chamber on veg side will have (1) sp150 light and (2) older blurple 50w lights. The small section for mothers will have some cheapy 35w leds just to keep em alive, will probably need 3 of them.
I have a couple questions as I've never played with Coco or hydro really, just been growing soil for 15 years.
(1) with the autotray 8 can I connect both of them to a single reservoir or will I need to purchase a separate one for each?
(2) I'm venting right now with a 6" fan, since I'll have 3 chambers will I need to plumb air movement areas or increase with an additional inline fan?
(3) finally I'm changing up fert as this is a borderline hydroponic grow, I'm looking at purchasing Advanced Nutrients perfect sensi (bloom and grow) part A+B. anything else I'll need other than some calmag?
(4) also autopot growers, am I better off using the 8 site tray for a sog or getting the 3.9 gallon autopot setup? it just seems a total waste to me to do a sog with 4 gallon pots, 2.2 is more than enough i figure.
Please feel free to make any suggestions! already dropped 2k into this so whats another grand right? I might need to make room to sleep in tent if wife kicks me out
