Ebb & Flow or Flood and Drain?

[BlazedMind]

If you were growing out of a hydrohut 3x3x6.5 would you rather use ebb and flow flood table 3x3 or go with a couple 5 gallon buckets in the flood and drain method(uses reservoir, control bucket)? I plan on going with a 1k air cooled light and im looking for maximum yeild in bud.

Yes I know 1k hps is going to be alot of light in that tent but its going to be air cooled and vented outside.

Forgot to mention I plan on vegetating for 4 weeks and flower for 8 weeks.

the hydo hut mimi i just got it i am using the 3x3 tray. im also finding it seems to be alot harder to control my enviorment in the hydohut compared to the smaller closet i was using to veg them ill put a couple pictures up after the light comes back on so you can see how much space the 3x3 tray will take oh also i am only ussing a 400 hps i think with the 1000 hps you going to have serious hieght issues im already starting to see that im going to have issues and i only have a 400

Cotton nice to see someone in the same boat. What makes it so hard to control the environment?

Is your light air cooled? and do you have good ventillation?

well they mini comes with the slot at the bottom for air to come in it also has an axtra slot for the intake. yea i have a air cooled like i have 1 exauste sucking aitr off the bulb and another that im using the power cord spot next to the exauste to try and suck out more air...i tired just and exauste and exauste and intake 2 exauste and 2 exauste and a intake and nothing has worked. basicaly my mini hut stays the same temp as the room its in which stay the same temp as outside.its really fraustrating. im trying to get master grower over to give some advise but he said he woudl come but hes been lagging for 4 days now but if i get some answer ill deffently share them with you and i hope you can do the same

What size fan is that on your exhaust?

Does your light have glass on the bottom? I was told that helps to get the heat out better?

Also does anyone know how many plants I could grow on a 3x3 tray? I plan on going with a cover that keeps the lights out of the tray and off the rocks, roots, and water.

i have a $12 exaust fan thats blowing out that cord slot up top you can buy them at home debot or lowes my main exaust is squerl cage. no it doesnt have glass. i never had heat problesm until this heatwave where having in southern california if anything it will get to cold but again i think this is due to that fact that my house has little to no insalation and is basically wahtever the outside temp is i just took a couple pictures so you can get a feel for the hight and plants i have let me think 12 master kush 1 cherry ak47 1 superkush and i think i have to somehow fit a blueberry in there obviously i have a few to many plants
