Hello farmers,
Long time lurker here, been around for few years, been growing for just a few years but here recently decided to take things to the next level. I run this entire place all by my lonesome and its a lot of work. I have a crew of trimmers when its time to get sticky.

This place is currently a work in progress and I only have about 50,000W burning right now and I plan on adding more as time permits.

I run Coco Beds cut 60% with perlite and abunch of organic amendments, Aptus Additives and PBP as a base, and weekly OGBioWar Teas. Feed every watering with an EC of 1.1-1.4. Currently Hand watering till the irrigation system is built.
All Rooms are supplemented with bottled CO2 and Controlled by an Iponic 624.

Here is whats rocking currently:
24x34 Flower Room
20 Nanolux DE's with the NCCS
2x 5 Ton AC's

Sounds Nice! Any advice on how well your dehumidifiers are working? I have had a bit of an issue in one room with high Humidity. Also, do you run LEC/LEP in pre flower to harden the plants before flower? Over been flirting with that idea for a while. Thanks.

Light penetration has more to do with hood shape and size Gavita has a small reflecter that focuses the light down sacrificing a large footprint for deep penetration ( thats what she said lol) this is why they are ideal in a commercial s.o.g. the larger reflector in other fixtures spreads the light farther bus looses the super de penetration and are more suited to scrog type gardens
