The Mathias Fields Setup
Their operation starts in the mother room, with rolling racks stacked at two levels. This room uses the MDV 600 lights at a unique spectrum just for mothers to get the best production of cuttings and clones.
It is all purpose-built, so the racking suits the plants and provides easy access with good airflow. The lights have a heavier red than a normal veg light, so you get faster growth, especially a quicker generation of clones. That’s a great benefit of the spectrum control of these lights. These lights can have a separate routine for mothers, veg, flower, pre-flower, and final finishing. It’s very flexible and all digitally controlled. Once you get the program dialed in for a particular strain, you can save it and run it repeatedly.
In their veg room, the Mathias Fields team uses the MegaDrive Vertical 400 series, which is a little lower power and a higher level of blue. This is especially good for veg to get a nice bushy, compact plant before going into flower. Everything is on rolling racks and a custom spectrum for these specific strains. This design offers easy access, great airflow, and makes it easy to transfer plants into another room. The facility currently contains two flower rooms and will be adding two more.
The space itself is incredibly well-designed. Mathias Fields includes linear fans at every level with custom electrical, lighting, and irrigation installation.
