he's still gonna be running 3600W of t-5. why? to save on cooling? like all have been saying the t-5 doesn't compare to the 1ks.

hell, i've seen somone with a 600W HPS and a 4' x 4' tent pull 3 pounds in 55 days using gallon containers, hempy bucket style. he averaged 14 grams per plant (if i'm not mistaken). 12" buds and no filler.

beds appear to be the way to go with a SOG though.

and why hydroton? it's nothing but a pH mess waiting to happen. why not run a perlite/vermiculite blend? the perlite can be re-used. this would probably suit your purposes better. ditch the ebb and flow and water by hand. just a thought. it might be more work daily, but it might save your ass and possibly give you a better yield.

are you trying to pull 5 lbs from a single tray, or from the whole harvest?
