looking for suggestions on a system

[4x4]

Hey guys, I've got a 4x4x7 tent with an advanced led dsxml350 light. Looking to ditch soil and get into dwc or derivative type system. DIY is out because fuckit I'd rather just pay someone else to build it.

I see a few systems like the rootspa are pretty cheap for a 4 site system, these any good?

This system DIY around $50.00 for parts done in about 30 minutes fully upgradeable!!!

m8 iv built just about every hydro sett up going over the last 9yrs and at a fraction of the cost.one of the 1st flood an drain set ups here in the uk was called a hydrovator i went to buy it at a cost of £600 but once i got there an seen it i thought fuck that i could build one for less and it worked out at £27 for everything i needed

If DIY is really not an option for you and you got some money to spend, I suggest going with an AeroFlo from GHE. Something I'd normally wouldn't recommend because they're overpriced, but it's a proven design and my aeroflo-clone works great for me.

Have been doing nft for four years with a tank , troughs and piping. very cheap to put together and sure does the job.

All these look great for someone with free time and is handy, that's not me :p

I've looked over many options and I've narrowed down to the most basic KISS system I can find, DTW Perlite Hempy buckets usjng Maxibloom diluted to the Lucas formula.
No problem fitting these in a 4x4, even with my carbon scrubber sitting on the floor (it's noiseless and doesn't shake the tent this way)

All I'll need for this are seeds, buckets, holes (lol) perlite, and maxibloom. I hate DIY, I never get it done. I'll probably struggle for a week to find the time to drill these 4 holes :p

Probably use 3 gallon buckets.

Tropf Blumat into one gallon Smart Pots filled with Canna coco. Maxibloom in the res, maybe MaxiGro during veg. I'd want space outside the tent to mount the reservoir.

Ok, you've got me interested in this coco. Picking up tomorrow at the shop. I'll think about the blumats once I get it started, these look cool.

Hand watering 100% coco becomes a chore.

I don't know about your LED but I think I've been burning my plants with the Lumigrow Pro 325. I bleached the tops on the last grow at 24" clearance. This grow used a screen that was 28" below the lights. The understory is fantastically healthy, the top 6" layer of the plants look like zinc deficiency (I'm certain the Zn is OK).

Next time I use screens they will be 36" below the lights.
