So as some may know I've been running space buckets for awhile now with some success. I love the buckets and intend to return to them with upgrades after this is completed. However I need to increase my output and finally have room so.... Here we go.
The space:
42"*70"*93" tall walk in closet that I've walled off and created a back entrance from my mechanical room into.
I've gone back and forth and decided to split the room in half giving me two 42"*~30" spaces. I may separate them but for now it's all on the same light schedule using the lights from my bucket builds.
Ventilation:
small 52w axial fan with 3 speed control exhaust. Passive intake through light trapped filter assembly built into access door. Currently holding ~80°f 50%rh. Clip fan for circulation.
Will be adding an inline carbon filter and tying into the return trunk with 8 in round to cut down on noise.
Lights:
blurples and a single cob for now. Custom Cree cxb2530 Assemblies will replace them. High chip count low drive current with reflectors most likely. Aiming for 250-450 wall Watts per side. 3 dimmable channels(3000k 90cri and 80 cri and 4000k 70cri). Passive heat sinks. Meanwell hlg constant current drivers.
Medium:
All in pro mix hp with a lil extra perlite now. Fabric pots.
With the RADDWC I will be using clay pellets and Coco coir in 6in baskets somewhere between 50/50 and 70/30 majority pellets.
Nutes:
Been pretty happy with Botanicare lineup plus Great White Shark not sure I'll change other than switching to orca and adding Z7.
RADDWC:
7/5/3 GALLON bucket stack. 3gal Dewey chamber with perimeter holes for water and roots. 5gal dwc with 1.5" undercurrent knock off recirc in the 7 gal . Fine mesh in bottom of five gal bucket to prevent roots in the recirc. 3 per side.
Rough approximation
Texas controller style reservoir for each side. Incoming water and Drain to waste at rez for each side.
One water pump and air pump per side. Air stones in rez, possibly in the dwc s but I don't want to.
Ok that's enough for now I have other things I gotta get done. Like transplant some of those girls up above
. This is a big brainstorm so please feel free to share your thoughts and opinions I'm still new to this so more knowledge is always better. Thanks for looking.
