Ok, so i figured out what I'm gonna do and have everything pretty much shopped out.
Lighting
4 1000w hids- wing reflectors (dimmable ballasts this time, that alone will cut electric costs in veg the ones I have now don't dim) bulbs facing each other, 4ft spacing lights closest to wall 2ft from wall.
1 600w hid- wing reflector dimmable ballast centerd between the other 4 lights.
(All ballasts will be located outside of grow room.)
Cost of light upgrade- $373 for the 1000w ipower ballasts, already have the 600 $30 for the wing reflector, already have 4.
Environment- already have 15kbtu windows ac adding 8k btu portable, placement closet in far corner of room ducted through the wall into the bedroom window next door, likely need small booster fan.
“Whole house” Humidifier
Co2 20lb tank controller, whole kit really. Lines run above canopy not sure about exact placement
Costs of upgrades
Portable ac $225
Co2 kit $495
Humidifier $109
Rdwc
2 8plant stirponic systems. Just need to get the 1" bulkheads, tubes and sump pumps, got everything else, going with the 6" netpot lids too. $165
Bringing it to $1367.
Hoo hoo hoo I’m looking forward to this. Probably got enough for it just drying right now and more than enough on my gorrilla glues(they need to hurry up and finish ripening). I feel like a kid before Christmas might need to tweak light spacing a bit but that's why I'm here.
