Definately have tha clientail BEFORE you start an op that big, so your not sitting on pounds and pounds of grass waitin for someone to buy it.
I could not even immagine having to check water levels and top off 100 separate buckets EVERY day. That would be insane. With this big of an OP, if you were going the DWC route (which I personally think is a great idea, 4 plants per light, you could veg them a few weeks and still have monsters) then you should look into a RDWC setup. cheap to build, and only have to check/top off 3 reservoirs each day. Or you could even give each its own seperate (50 gal or so) rez with an auto top off, so that you only need to refill your separate rez like once a week.Thats why I suggested using bubblebuckets, You can make them self contained systems if you use 5 gallon buckets and 1 net pot per bucket, its more work just like soil, but it grows a hell of a lot faster. And you build that relationship with each plant and plus it'll give you something to do everyday while making sure each plant is healthy and bug and mold free.
I believe that set-up is from someone on RIU but it is self-contained and doesnt connect with any other buckets, this is the same plan i will be using for my grow here in a couple weeks.
This guy has a little too much going on with his bucket, you really just dont need all that extra stuff to make a nice bubble bucket, just a pump, air stone, and airlines. All that extra is just for show. Ill post pics of mine when I get it all setup.

Haha, yea i figured that wouldn't be a smart idea either, but tha guy didnt want his whole crop gone if something in tha res fucked with his plant, so I jut threw that idea out there, i myself would go with tha Aquamist I systems if I had unlimited resources, very easy to use and its an Aero set-up so the yeild would be outstanding, Its a $500 a pop price tag though is the only thing and I would put no more than 1 of those under a 1000w.I could not even immagine having to check water levels and top off 100 separate buckets EVERY day.

No matter what route you go, post a journal, this should be VERY interesting.
Good luck buddy!
i think if you spend enough money/ time setting it up you could probably go for longer than a week between check ups. get auto ph checkers, nutrient dispensers hook it up to a laptop/ old crappy desktop comp use a pay as you go internet dongle and you should beable to feed your plants from comfort of your own home
