Thats really not all that big eh? Do the pipes go completely around the room i.e. 360 degrees around the bulb? mental stuff mate!

HI DnC, many apologies I've copied and pasted from other places, so I'll try and outline what goes on in this room....
In this room we have 2 x 600 watt bullbs, and 1 x 1000 watt ballast, a flip flop relay controls the bulbs... so each bulb was on for 3hrs at a time...
the plant/bulb layout is:
x=plant
o=bulb
ox
xo
and around the backside of each bulb i put plants that grow up a net, the sole purpose of this is to consume the light from the bulbs.
I ran this room perpetual so I get staggered harvests....
the tube runs almost 360 but there is a door to the room...
peace

nice one billy, would you mind explaining abit more about your systems please? what they are? how they work? did you make it? it looks good would be good to have abit more info as im gonnna be starting hydro soon and looking at all possibilitys cheers!

Wow what a setup, loving the vertical scrog mate, just amazing!
I dont understand how its a 1000w ballest runnning a 600w,i understand the flip flop bit to swap power to each bulb but not 1000w on a 600w bulb??
But that idea in general is uber quality, swapping the power to each bulb every 3 hours Really impressed mate
Looking forward so much to your diary mate

W89, hi, they are rdwc, based on heaths recirculating waterfarms... I call em my tree machines, with all credit going to heath for his ingenuity and sharing... they work in every way the same as heaths designs, the tubes are the same as heaths flooded tube vertical grows... but grownup a net instead of in tiers... any specifics just ask....
BudMan, I got a free ballast some where along the line so I used it here and only had 600w bulbs so thats what I used... lol
Mrmarley, simplicity is key, its important to make a system that will perform the same her as anywhere else... thanks
up2nogood, NO, hahaha.....
peace

That's 1 sweeeeet setup mate! With ur vscrog are the pipes flooded all the time or do you pump nutes into 1 end and it flows out the other end? I was going to do a bubbler grow next but I'm having 2nd thoughts now!
Billy Liar (05-10-10)
yes mate, I have a tube that sets the depth of the water to the bottom of the net cups in the 6inch tube and acts as the return also, the tube goes around the room in a "C" shape, with an opening for the door, I have a feed at each side of the doorway and the return is in the middle of the "C" if that make sence....
peace
