Ive been on a debate... and Im going to wait for the tech to evolve a bit more, at least another 3 months. lol.
Been charting out the specs for my Dream Space recently, and was looking for Alex's old thread for the Colloidal Silver link (no luck..) and ran across this old thread. So i figured id throw up my questions here, if you dont mind Tags.
It is a matter of time till things are legalized around these parts, and I plan to be ahead of that game.
-Just Flower and Mum rooms-
Think Symmetrical, even throughout.
8x8' Flower Room
-6x3' SCROG (These dimensions are up for play- 6x2', 6x4'...)
-8 site RDWC, not neccessarily undercurrent , building myself- no problem
^^ 1.5x1.5' of screen per plant (no veg time)
6x8' or 8x8' Mum Chamber
-thinking of keeping a max cap. to 4-6, makes DWC easier upkeep for different strains
-Clone rack inside (40 for every 8 keepers)
Now... This is what I wrote down on my notebook last night when I was dreaming on some 3 month cured SLH. O my lanta.. remember, symmetry.
Well, I went to my space and took some measurements, the 8' depth is no question. But I have a dividing wall that stops at 13', keeping my from having my 8x8 rooms.
My thinking:
(Flower) I want to have the space around the SCROG to comfortably maneuver and train the kids. hence the ~2' spacing. Hell, I may even extend the depth out to 10' and put some spare shelves for nutes and a table...
(Mums) I just want them to grow all natural, I will prune accordingly, just want to make sure they are comfortable, and so am I.
No ventilation, CO2 with a CHH4.
Im between x3 AT200's, x2660's. I just wanted to hear what T and P... hah... TP... had to say about coverage of the AT's.
Could a 200 cover a 3' deep scrog well? Im confident in 3 of them spreading 6', basically I need each of them to cover a 2x3' EVENLY.
Luckily the overlap with boost each panels coverage, but I am holding out to see what EH has to offer....... even waiting for the XPG2's may be in mind, but AT really has my eye. This is a long term goal, and this tech is a quick evolving little m'fer.
But in turn for 3 at200s....say ~2300 for 3 of them with your code? and ~3600 for 2 660's? I kept looking back to your umol averages, and the 660's number made me feel MUCH more secure....
I've always been a huge fan of multiple panels, but this macro level shit may call for the big guns... and I have quite a bit of room to play with. So if any of you can make a BALANCED scenario out of things, please chime in.
Hope you don't mind the jack Tags, more irony than anything and thought id cut on the spam threads
