12 plant recirulating dwc. how much lighting,what nutes,what strain.from seed or clone
-40w per square foot (9000w)
-Advanced Nutrient Program
-Big Bud
-from clone
12 plants in a 225 sq foot area?
I was thinking more like 75-100 Plants
Well a drip sys use less water !
And your room 15x15 do not forget you have to be able to enter you room !
But moor important is you light`s you say 9000W is that 9 x 1000W hps mh ?
If I had 9000w of light do a kbs in a drip sys !
This is for personal use, right? :stoned: I'm considering trying ultrasonic aeroponics. It supposedly gives you the fastest, largest growth. Not that many people are doing it, though.
With good reason....your goin to spend a ton of time and money maintaining that and setting it up. If anything gos wrong...power outage ect. Your plants are dead.
I think for that setup drip would be easiest....DWC would rock also but thats a ton of work for that many plants.
IS that where you use a ultrasonic humidifier in your res? I have one of those but i never thought about using it for that... Good idea... Would it really vaporize the nutrients?Quote:
