Hey guys!
First post here, came and registered based on others' recommendations...
I am a medical patient in California that is allowed by country law to grow a max of 12 mature plats.
I've grown before, years ago, in a state that didn't have such evolved laws. That time was a small closet grow, this time I can devote a whole bedroom to the project. Since I am limited legaly only by plant number, I want EACH plant to grow as big as possible.
From all my research, I've come to the conclusion the best choice are either the E&F bucket system or the Bubbling Bucket system. Both of these I can 'design' myself based on the ample teks posted all over the interwebs...
The E&F system seems easier to maintain and probably less expensive...the one big reservoir bucket flooding and draining all 12 plant-pot-buckets is a fairly easy system compared to the BB system, in which every bucket needs a pump and a lot more individual maintenence (reservoir cleaning)...
My question is, ESPECIALLY to those who have done both or either of these systems, which one is more likely to work better production potential wise? Is the extra work, expense and hassle of the BB system going to pay off with a MUCH bigger harvest? Or just a little bigger? Or not really any bigger than the E&F system could produce?
I'd REALLY be curious to know your opinions...just for what it's worth, I plan to give these plants 2k watt HPS light and probly a few hundred more watts in high powered floros positioned to light up the sides and undersides of the plants at close range.
Thanks!
