cool, what lights are you running, left looks hps? autos look rather small what genetics?View attachment 1316104
We have a large room divided in two (one for autos & veg, seen here, and on the other side of the wall is a small space for blooms) which has always done soil based. However based on recent problems & yields I’ve finally decided to go hydro like my dad has wanted for a long time.
How much "quantity" are you wanting?View attachment 1316104

My first quandary is what sort of system will give us a similar size? Most that I have seen are small, 4-6 for a grow tent usually, but our room obviously is made for quantity. So first question is what sort of hydro system could I get that would run large numbers of plants? Would it be more feasible to just buy multiple small systems?

To basically replace the same space and fill it is what I mean.How much "quantity" are you wanting?
Ooo maybe, and it would allow for expansion or decline fairly easily I imagine.. Either they kind of system or deep water buckets is what I’ve been pondering today.
Pls define "large room "To basically replace the same space and fill it is what I mean.

Automated or semi auto, I’m not overly fussy on that detail since I am in there daily.
To give you background my hydro experience is minimal and I am in the research stage. I did one hydro grow using air pumps, sterilite bin drilled with net cups, and RAW 2 part ferts. I cloned in that and also grew an autoflower start to finish (just the one). I considered that dipping my toe in the water enough to prove it was for me. However I don’t want such a DIY system on a large scale, I’d prefer an already built one but luckily I have a good budget. Just to explain how far I’ve gone so far, which is obviously not much.
Since I’ve decided to switch over the whole room I want to plan it thoroughly because it’s going to be a big hullabaloo. So far all that entails is not starting new plants & research.
Oh wow!! That’s wild.Pls define "large room "
My room is 13 ft x 16 ft and i grow 4 plants
Ps: I grow small treesPls define "large room "
My room is 13 ft x 16 ft and i grow 4 plants
That explains it
oops
That’s not why I am moving to hydro, and I’m familiar with SOG - it doesn’t work for my set up as is. I wish it did but I have 2 walls not 4. Im mainly moving to hydro because I got the bankroll for it and I’ve had a lot of issues with soil, none of them are light related.Most people move to hydro for reasons other than more green coverage under the light. Check out some SCROG or SOG pics if you're not familiar with those grow methods. SOG=Sea Of Green (very little available area wasted). A soil grow is quite capable of covering the majority of area under a grow light(s).
I am a fish head at heart and have all the equipment from a thousand gallon plus fish room!
The fish room is on not running so I have tons of stuff like you.
I even have brand new pumps and replaceable parts.
I hope to incorporate a new fish room in the next veg room build if I could.
I would hope to recycle water but don't see a properly set up tank feeding a garden or even one huge hungry plant?
I am interested to see what you think up.
