let me hear it from the hydro community.. from growers big and small. east coast or west. what hydro systems are in your grow room? what are you plants yeilds and sizes? what method is your preferance, and why? please feel free to post pictures.
So what is the definition of "professional"?
Webster says----"following an occupation as means of livelihood or for gain"
Ok, you quit your day job and decided to grow weed as your primary means of support and live at least a comfortable life-----and for many it's something they love doing. For me, coming from an R&D background, I prefer playing with high tech toys in a medium less aero system. I don't think any serious grower would ever say------there's nothing that could be better in my show----that's what makes it so much fun for me, otherwise it would become boring.
Everybody is different----so it's what system is "best" for them based on their skill, space, circumstances, capital, etc.
As for as yield----1 gram per watt every 60 days CONTINUOUSLY is par (which is extremely good). Or, 2 lbs per 1K flowering every 60 days and the only way I will believe 3 lbs from a 1K is if I manicure, dry, and weigh it.
I suggest the mission statement of every commercial grower goes something like this:
The most of the best product the fastest---with the least amount of risk, effort, cost, and space. (mostest of the besets the fastest with leastest risk, effort, cost and space).
As for pics----I've already posted on riu many from my archives.
