First let me say wow what a wonderful site!!! you guys will prove to be an invaluable tool.I am a first time grower who has purchased a cool cab from sunlight sheds after doing what limited research i could.
It is a basically fully automated system capable of cloning vegging and flowering it uses a 400w hps / 400w mh interchangable bulbs with a cooling tube. it also has a 14 hole 20 gallon tub with a drip feed system that runs 24/7 an ultrasonic fogger is also implemented for root structure developement, wich by the way OMG AT THE ROOTS when i changed the water between veg/flower i could not believe my eyes! This enormous mass the size of the whole tub came out of the water.
anyway...the system also has a cloning chamber on the top shelf with a flourescent light. it can hold 72 organic plugs and has the humidity dome. also included are two cooling fans and an exhaust fan. also has c02 boost and temp/humidity sensors. oh ya it also has an aerator stone in the tub along with the water pump that feeds the drip heads over hydroton clay pellets inside of 3'' netpots. the stone and pump run 24/7 and of course the light is on a timer. 24hrs during veg and 12/12 during flowering. i bout 20 white widow seeds from buy dutch seeds and had some bag seed as well. as they come in packs of 10 i only planted 10 and 4 of the bag seeds. and stupid me followed the damn directions that came with the system and dropped the babies in the hole and basically proceeded to drown them! so 3 ww and 3 ??? survived and started to grow. as i am interested in maximizing my yield i am constructing a flowering chamber in the room where the cab is and i have already put in a climate control system complete with heating cooling and humidity control. the cool cab can do it all but i want a faster cycle and bigger yield. i know what i want and how to build it, i just have a hang up every now and then...such as- the roots grow together like crazy under the lid of the main reservior and when i transplant them to the ebb and flow setup i am constructing i might have to cut/rip them apart and am unexperienced in this and am worried that the shock will be to great for the plants...or am i worrying needlessly.
oh ya the tub also has an auto fill float sytem with a backup reservior, so it's easy to monitor water levels.
I am sure i'll have more questions later and i will be putting all the pics on here as soon as i figure out how! thanks in advance for all of your guidance
