Using all the grow threads on here as inspiration I've been slowly piecing together my version of a draining table with recirculating reservoir grow table, for 2 plants, each in 3 gallon grow bags with a hempy style soilless mix, coco coir, 25% perlite and some grow cubes
This is for a small grow that can be placed in a normal sized closet easily.
It's foundation is a shelf I had got off amazon a while ago, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KYJQMI/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I took out the middle two levels, leaving only the base and top behind, it is still fairly sturdy with them gone, especially when the base has weight of 2 pots and reservoir on it.
-The draining table is a Home Depot concrete mixing tub and a hair drain guard from the bathroom section. It sits directly on top of the reservoir (with a slight forward lean to completely drain it) to maximize my growing area.
-130GPH adjustable water pump is what gets the water/nutrient solution up to the 6 site 1/4" dripper station. Gravity does the rest to let unused water back into the reservoir. If dirtiness or algae becomes an issue I will switch to drain to waste.
-growing area from the top of the pots is 23" deep, 33" vertical, 33" wide.
-White/black plastic sheeting stapled the supports form the siding walls.
-I plan on having an air input fan in the bottom, with exhaust fan blowing out the top, small cir fan inside.
-Lighting will be 250 watts of CFLs for veg and a DIY COB LED (2 or 3 running at 20 watts each) for flowering. Both on retractable lines anchored to the top shelf
-For watering I think I'll go with multiple "floods" per day where I'll turn the pump on for however long it takes to get 20% runoff.
Take a look at the pic and give me some constructive criticism please, this is still very much in design mode and I am willing to change things.
