I am setting up a grovault with an extra module making it a 4 x 8 x 8. This thing is tall enough to grow serious trees inside.
I will be building out a custom RDWC system to fit inside the unit and add some NFT in a U shape around the inside walls. To start off, I am moving in some moms and dial in the atmospheric conditions and optimize the lighting.
I am going to light the vault with an induction light which uses 400 watts and replaces a 1000w + a 400w HPS and runs very cool around 95f. We have tested it from seed to flower and it works great. So this is test #2 for the light, this time it is inside a room not open space. I will also have a 600w MH on a Nextgen digital ballast in an old hydrofarm reflector for those that need a bit more light.
I will be using a whole line up of Heavy 16 products, 2 part nutes and foliar sprays. I also plan to use biochar as the medium with hygromite as the aggregate.
Other items to be used :
Swimming pool chiller
Icebox 6" heat exchanger
Biowave Greenhouse model subsonic wave generator
Supreme 1200 gph mag drive pump
Alita AL-100 air pump
I am quite sure there will be other additions once the actual system is built into the box.
Here are a few pics of the box being put together, it took 22 minutes to assemble and required no tools at all. The box is very heavy though, it weighs in around 170 lbs per unit so it required the help of a much taller uninjured friend to assist. The roof load is around 150lbs according to the manufacturers.
