Construction of a "Hydro" growing room in a professional way.
This tank system is currently not sold anymore because this photo report was made and put online with our first website in 1999!
However, the rest of the material is still used today. That's why I put it back online today.
The system we have chosen can be adapted with more or less lamps
according to your needs or the power of your electric meters?
This system is only suitable for hydroculture.
Choosing a correct and professional system will help you save time and money in the future.
The system we are going to show you is used with with medium size Rockwool slabs. (5 plants per tray)
The picture shows you the assembly of the slabs on the base (6 slabs per unit). One unit measures approximately 105cm X 90cm
and fits perfectly for a lamp, in this demonstration we will join 5 units together
and hang 7 lamps of 600 watt above them.
The room we have chosen measures 3m X 4m. The height of this room is 2.6m
The picture on the left shows you the location to place the drainage pipe.
The drain pipes will be attached directly to the pipe, the rockwool containers will be placed on the unit.
