So you have your grow room, then you have another room that you pull air from? Just tryn to get a picture in my head. I can see how that closed loop would work if you have a 2 closed room that are being fed co2. So is the second room more just to have the air moving and cut the smell?
Correct and I'm pulling from like a little attic everything is air tight I run 900ppm for veg 1500ppm for flower

I think for sure you can get away with putting the buckets closer. With the short veg time and your only topping once you should still have room. Also alittle depends on the plant. But I still think you will be fine. I would put the buckets closer and maybe after they recover from toppping trim just a little of the lower branches that will be small buds anyways.

I know of people who are doing sog that veg for like a week if at all. They go from the cloner to flower. So if after this run they bush out more then you want just make the veg even shorter. :weed:

You should stagger your buckets

I would also paint or cover the 90 gallon reservoir to keep the light out of your water. If your putting the buckets closer trim the bottom branches, they won't be getting enough light anyway. More light and energy devoted to bigger buds.

Great setup that you have.

The past grows I have vegd anywhere from 14 to 32days. This next one I am building a new room after working the next every weekend till dec. Then Im going to start with 1 HUGE scrog KingKong. Im planning on vegn around 45days or so. Im going to try and fill a 6x6ft screen with one plant. As of now the wife will only let me grow one till I can prove the room wont stink up the house lol. Then I want to start a 10 plant perpetual grow since im only aloud 10.

I will have to agree with Jim here. I bet you could put the bucket as close as you want each other if you stagger but I think he ment for his pic to look like this.

I didnt even think about covering the res. Thats a great idea. I know even when I use hoses that light can get into they start growing shit. Also watch the tops of your buckets just incase the hydroton starts to grow anything. You have a ton of light and if the light makes it to the wet part in the bucket it will grow bad things.

So when you have a veg room and flower room do you then have a 3rd room you will vent into? If so how will you control keeping the co2 at 900 in the veg room and 1500 in the flower room? Wont the flowers co2 leak into the veg?

I won't run co2 in the veg room it shows more in flower anyways and it wil save me some money
