Hello my friends,
So I have begun construction on my new indoor growing area and im building from scratch from the floor up. I was looking for a few ideas or hints in my set up to get the most efficient use out of the room.
So the room is about 12ft long, 9ft wide, and 12ft high. So far its been framed up, i am now waiting for the electrician who is going to install two 110v outlets on each wall (6 total) and another two 220v outlets for the lights. As of right now, I have two 400w lamps that I will be using, but I plan on upgrading to two 600w lamps, hence the 220v outlets.
Now my biggest question is what system to use. So far Ive been using an average deep culture hydro system with canna nutrients, which works well, but with the larger space ill be moving the project into, i want something more efficient and energy friendly. What Im thinking is an Ebb and Flow system. Maybe two 4x4 trays under each 400w lamp? (until I upgrade to 600w that is). Does anyone have any better ideas or methods? I want to stick with the hydro method, since i have loads of hydroton balls and nutrients in stock already. I just need a better method than the mess of 5gal buckets that I have been using. They take up too much power for just one plant. (pump, airstone, etc.)
Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully someone reads all the way thru haha. Thanks for any help guys!
