firstly cheers for the reply weed hound i've read alot of your posts and replies and ya seem to have ur nut screwed on.
was thinkin about clay pellets as a grow medium, think i like the idea of larger cavaties in the medium allowing for better aeration drainage and less chance of root rot.

your totally right about the plant count best to avoid disappointment, i was also thinking of a smaller second unit to house clones and experiments etc.

any taughts on a co2 system and if its not too much of a pain in the ass should i put an air stone in the bato bucket

cheers dog
