Looking for a suggestion on a Hydro System

[BlueBear]

I use a 1000w in an area like that, I would think about 2 400's if you are willing to take the time to work out your ventalation, and I would think about a Eb and Flow table with that hight. I would look at a 2x4 table if you could fit it in there. I think you could get about 8 to 12 in there if you veged for less than 3 weeks and get about 1.5 to 2 oz per plant once you dialed everything in and if you used the 2 400's or a 600.
Also, with lights that are 250w and higher you really need an inline fan and not a computer fan. In mine I have a 172 CFM Vortex, 2x90CFM Daytons and a 280 CFM Squirral cage, but I wouldn't need that much if I used a 600w or 2x400's..

So you think with my space it would be better to grow more plants and force budding early like a sog. What is your opinion on a scrog method wth 4 or so plants? Not sure how scrog works with hydro. I know people who have had success with soil.

1000wtts is overkill in that size room. ofcourse if u got ur shit set up correctly u dont have anything to worry about. Ive got the same set up, 1 400wtt hps in 4x2x7 area. Which gives me killer ladies. so a 400 is def enough maybe a 600 but u need to consider temps, mine are a bitch some days i need to keep my outside room 69F to keep my g.r. at 85 with lights on. I have a carbon filter on a 465 daytona blower and my temps are still reachn 90 some days, i really need a vented hood.

Hey if you have the room to grow tall girls i wouldnt bother with scrog, it works very very well with hydro but its more for limited head room. and u wont get as much if u just grew them normal, i would say do 6 plants and just let em grow

A vented hood sounds like a good Idea for me to add. I'm going to take a shot with the 600w and see how it works out. It's winter and I can keep the room my cab is in cool. I can always switch back to the 400w in the summer. WHat's a good seed to start with that works well with hydro?

a hybrid, indica/sative 50/50, most sativas are harder to grow becuase they get very tall and take longer to flower, i would stay away from haze and jack herer.

Try Nirvana AK-48. Cheap, tough, potent, looks nice, good-sized buds, doesn't get too big. It's damn near the perfect indoor first-timer strain, in my opinion. Dunno how well it works with hydro, but don't see any reason it wouldn't work, as hydro is just a different method of getting nutrients to the plants.

I was suprised to see the cost for te AK-48 to be so inexpensive. $15 versus a NL at $100 for example.

I'm going to take a shot at letting 6 plants grow using three strains. I was thinking about the AK-48 you mentioned along with Blueberry and White Widow. Any suggestions?

Also, considering my space, how would a Sativa fair. I was thinking about Durban Poison which is a tall plant.
