Most efficiant set up

[Hazemaster]

I have 2 1000 watt HPS HIDs and one 400 watt MH. I plan on using the 400 MH for the vegetation room and the other 2 X 1000 HPS systems in the bud room.

I have never grown with a hydro set up, I'm new to it but have been doing plenty of research. I want to put together a bud room using a hydro set-up that is most efficient yielding with 2 1000 watt bulbs.

With 2 1000 watt bulbs, what kind of hydro set up will maximize my crop? Ebb and Flow, Aeroponic, NFT or Drip Watering???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

If you want to see a really good hydro setup that is pretty much exactly what you are looking for - click cannabis FAQ at the top of this page, then go to cannabis FAQ + comprehensive FAQ. Scroll down until you see Hydroponics then look for ebb and flow. There is a thread that says - how do I grow single cola sea of green in ebb and flow? Read that thread! The method that he shows is a very efficient hydro method and produces a ton of herbs. Did you used to grow in soil? I did too - and now I do ebb n flow hydro. Its a lot faster than soil but its more work and easier to fuck up. IMHO ebb and flow is the best hydro method - it has the speed of hydro minus all the fittings and hoses of aeroponics and buckets. All that extra shit leads to a grip of cleaning and adjusting and Im just not into doing a bunch of extra stuff. aight then.

I use a drip system and think its pretty easy. Once you have your line off your pump with a few stakes for each plant you don't have to mess with it ever. But thats just imo. I think it really comes down to what you like and want.

i find that the dripp methods are abselutly great for using makeshift setups... but an ebb and flow is better when u buy the tables and stuff, but either method is extremely easy to make or set up, if you plant on using hydro and 2 1000wtters then u might want to think about something ehhh less maintenace like a circulating dwc wich is very good one space and is very easy to maintain if used with recirculation..

I have never used DWC. How is it less maintenence than ebb and flow?
