Hi farmers i'm new here and i've been researching on your great grows. I would need some help doing this, So far i have 6 1000k lights for 12 sites 8 gallons each , 1/2 chiller, R/O, 2.5 ton ac, but I need the pvc piping for it, what would be the best setup with the lights, the room will be 12/10 but ill check that on saturday. I'll have some pics next week of the room setup.

Thanks
Hogwash :)

Or should I cut the system in half and do 6 lights 6 plants?

Thanks

roughly you have a 4x4 footprint from the one light..2 buckets per light should treat you nicely..im not a hydro guy tho :(...whats the size of your room??

12 plants 6 lights would be best more room for error

10' x 12' will give ya enough room for a 8 site on 28"-30" centers and even then it is a little tight, the epicenter ends up being right on the wall..you could almost do 3 rows of 4 buckets and make a three row manifold for each end..
