I've never logged a grow on any of the forums, I'm self employed and busy with my grows, wish I had more time in the day, but I will post some pics of the system I've been using for while and if you are interested I'll give you all the help I can.
Where I'm growing we are pron to power outages, so an nft or aeroponics was to risky.
I started these hexagon towers in soil at first, a few years ago I changed up to hempy's and have been very successful with it.
My grow rooms have 10' ceilings so I have the benefit of a little more air exchange to keep the temps in check, it also allows me to build a 12" raised floor to hide the ventilation and waste plumbing, but 8' ceilings will work fine.

Each one of the 6 towers are mobile, it lets the hexagon expand as the plants grow closer to the light, this lets me retain a larger grow footprint (sq footage).
One of the towers has caster wheels on its base, it allows entery in side the hexagon to take care of things. The water and nutrients are fed from the 50 gallon reservoirs overhead through the ceiling via triple drip to each plant site, then they cascade to a drain to waste hidden under the floor. The black square at the bottom is grate, I coll the lights from the 8'' inline fan that's ducted under the floor from another room it gives me freedom to move around without tripping over a fan.
I really love the versatility of the hempy's, it's damn near worry free and the plant just love it. This is by far the most efficient system I've used and I been through quite a few.
It baffles me why more people aren't going vertical, things have been quite awesome for me and my girls since I found out the world is not flat! lol
