hey new to the site here big fan though, I see a lot of great work on here congratulations! So far what i have set up is a 10 x 10 room. i will be adding additional framing and visqueen to partition the area into a roughly 70/30 split. 70% flower 30% veg. and propagation. Now for lighting im leaning towards fluorescent for propagation section only for energy reasons and to slow growth already have a total of six mothers currently don't want them to overgrow there space, i should note only have large quantity of mothers now because of the season and i intent to do clones for outdoor as well currently mothers are under 6oow mh and will be for the following 2 months.
as for the flowering section roughly 7'x11' i am going to be using 2 600 w open air hps w/ gull wing reflectors using ratcheting hangers to raise and lower. For ventilation i have 2 6" 4oo cfm active air blowers from hydrofarm and carbon scrubber witch i intend to mount on ceiling of flower room between fixtures. Now all this from what I have read seems like a decent setup. Where im at is setting up a diy hydroponic system for flower. Im thinking ebb and flow w/ a gravity drain setup using 25 gallon reservoir for every set of 4 5 gallon buckets, i have 3/4 pvc and hose for irrigation w/ a 4oo gph pump for each reservoir will also be ordering high capacity air pump and stones for reservoirs. pretty much just looking for some feedback and advice maybe a little constructive criticism on design ideas say pump rating lighting also looking for some input on pump timing for ebb for specific growing medium net pot size suggestions, would LST be beneficial in this, also in the future i would like to expand onto my propagation section to include a hydroponic set up to veg clones for additional time before entering them into flowering so def looking for suggestions there, first batch of clones is under way now so looking to finish flowering section is first priority. Anyone want to help a noob. Thanks
