50mm net pot as substrate holder no need to waste substrate top pic 1.35 kilos wet northern lights
bottom pic 6 foot and 6/6 inches finished these were autos and did what they wanted prefer 4 footers as a finished size

These all grew in 1 sq foot of space 40 plants on a 8 x 4 area with 2 x 600 hps. total 3.25 kilos dry
Dont feel have met optimum performance yet so dropped the HPS now using 480 watts of LED for this next grow.
call me a Troll if you wish but you will find everything I put up is true
may even treat you to some updates on this grow

because this pic you posted is just top fed rockwool. did they have rockwool 3500 years ago? or pvc pipe?
Modern days means modern ways to gain the effect of a 3500 year old system
any fluid/gas forced through a pipe will create static, that is one of the modern means used to create the effect, the next trick is to utilise and increase not dampen the effect.
All your systems kill the static

3.25kg my arse!
They are skinny airy looking things, hardly the work of the only real hydro system, barely the width the width of a tape measure lol.
This is a few from one of they crappie systems that create static.

Surley you have a pic of the 40 plants in the 4x8 right?

That dude holding the plant must be 10' tall, huh? Even the tape measure pic shows just over 3 foot, including the roots/netpot/stalk.

1.35 kilos wet
So just under 3lbs wet. Figure 75-80% loss from drying, that'd be a little over a half pound of dried bud per plant. That'd be decent, but far from the best hydro can do.

40 plants on a 8 x 4 area with 2 x 600 hps. total 3.25 kilos dry
So 3.25 kg is just over 47.5 oz, divided by 40 plants... That's just over an oz from each plant, sounds like a waste of plant count to me, or is my math wrong here?

Just for comparison, I run 8 plants in a 12x7, top feed recirculating in 10 gallon Bucket Company medical planters. I produce anywhere from 1-3 lbs of dried flower from each plant under 1200w of LEDs, depending on the strain. And my system is 100% open and documented, people can view my garden 24/7, watch me harvest, weigh, and process everything. No magic here, just 25 years of iterations and proven techniques.

Where’s this being documented?

Wrong.!
N.F.T uses spreader mat too make a film across a flat bed. The roots spread across the bed. the inherent defect with N.F.T is nutrient pooling this cause E.C and P.H fluctuations.
Got rid of those problems with N.T.T
Nineveh maybe so when I was taught at school 50 years ago it was Babylon, a lot of history was wrong back then
Read up on how H.G.B worked then you may understand its not N.F.T and could be qualified to comment
So basically I'm growing using NFT if I get an ebb & flow table and cover it with panda film with cubes inside it so roots can grow out into the tray? lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
