Here's some new toys for the flower room... anybody else know what this stuff is?

I wish I'd found this thread a while ago. I just built a system really similar to yours, down to mounting the ballasts on painted concrete block wall!
My system is 8 18 gal tubs, 2" pipe to 3/4" return from pump. I put a T in the return to the rez so it would have two waterfalls. Big pump driving 4' flexible air stone each tub. rez is 35 gal. 2 1K hps but I'm only on day ten of clones so, got a while before 12/12.

EDIT: I only got to page 6 before posting but I see that you changed your system... my system is undercurrent. what's your new system? why'd you change?

Undercurrent, are you building a Symbian for your grow room?

It looks like you got a relay powered outlet and I have no idea what th other stuff is

No, I'm just automating the flower room with a digital environmental controller (it can but won't be connected it to the internet). What you see in the picture is an Ultra sonic fogger (that will be made into a humidifier) and the Iponic 600 controller with some Upm-1 powered outlets with trigger/relay cord.

because 16\8 ?

^16 hours lights on, 8 hours lights off, because they're still in veg.

I know you are vegetating, but does not differentiate between 18 \ 6?

Looking super healthy. Are you running actinic t5s? They just look so purple

Thx!
Yes, you can find the bulbs used in my sig.
The lights distort the true color, see the clone pic for what they really look like.

and here's a pic of the plants yesterday before transplant

Super clean man digging the tile floors looks like my dream pad.. nice

so UC..remind me on what lighting your using for flower?

6x400w induction lamps @ 12 hours on
4x1000w Hps @ 4 hours on

yea i knew about the hps bulbs,and now i remember when you got those induction lights.

i am unfamiliar with induction lighting..hows the penetration from those lights?

It's decent, they're no 1kw... but they run very cool which has been a benefit as the weather warms up.

Interesting grow. I actually just grabbed all my parts to make my own Undercurrent system for a new grow. I am kinda excited to see how it goes. I couldnt see paying what they want for a built one as mine cost me less then $350 to build with pumps air stone rounds and all plumbing.Mine will be a 18 site setup with 3 600 watt lights on it maybe few 8 foot t8 side lights like 4 on either long side and maybe a 6 tube 4 foot t8 setup on each end.

That is impressive! I think I would've spent half of the 350 on uniseals alone.

The Uniseals werent bad like $1.20 each if I remember exactly right from online. I had the pvc pipe laying around on hand with fittings. I went with using tidy cat litter containers as they are about 4 gallons each with snap on lids pretty much identical to the original black square buckets they use so had those from cats so those were free. I ordered 6 inch round airstones instead of ther 8 inch got the 6 inch ones for $4 each new put a 2 10 inch rounds in the main res had those on hand. I got a new commercial air pump for $80 delivered and then I used pumps I had on hand 1200gph. No inline filter just a filter bag over pump as per my usual. I bought aqaurirum air distributors cost me like $8 online for 3 6 outlets.Tubing cost me about $20. Anything else was just things I had already from my aero or flood setups I built and sold over the years. I didnt ready the entire thread was that first grow all bad seed? Did you move to good genetics now?
