I just purchase two GENERAL HYDROPONICS Eco Grower Max Drip Systems and I plan on using these for my vegetation room. The room is 5x5x7.5. Each Eco grower comes with 6 planters that have 6" net pots. So there is going to be a total of 12 plants in this room. My question is what lighting should i use for this room? Should i purchase two 400 watt HPS lamps (one for each system) or should I go with something else? I plan on growing in vegetative for about 4-8 weeks and then transfer the plants to the flowering room. The system in the flowering room is completely different than the vegetation room. I'm running with a 12-Site Bubble Flow Bucket dual action hydroponic system in it with 10" net pots (5gal buckets). Which leaves me with another question - when I transfer the plants over to the flowering room am I going to have problems moving the plants from a 6" net pot to a 10" net pot? For some reason all I can imagine right now is me ripping out the roots when I tried to transfer them to the 10" net pots. Have you guys had any problems like this before? and if so, what were your solutions?
My flowering room is 5x9x8 and i'm using two dual 600w HPS SuperCool Lighting Systems; with dual Sunlight Supply Blazer 6″ AC Reflectors. That should be good enough for 12 healthy strong plants, right?

To sum it up, my questions are: 1) What kind of lighting do you recommend for my vegetation room (I'm open to all suggestions)
2) Am I going to have problems with transferring plants that have grown in 6" net pots to 10" net pots when i get readying to stick them into the flowering room?
Thanks for any feed back.s-l1600.jpg

Your squeezing your rooms tight. But to each his own I would go with 2 600 Watters for the veg room. I don't have experience in hydro but I do know your not going to be able to take the roots out of the 6inch net pot without damaging them not to mention if that picture is your new veg system the roots are going to entangle with the roots of other plants in that system with a 8 week veg for sure

Heh, I know, I thought about that AFTER I already purchased the two Eco Grower Drip Systems. I think I'm going to try and cancel that order before it goes through.... You're right though, the roots are going to entangled and get damaged if I try to transfer them to a 10" net pot... unless I cut out the bottom of the 10" net pots and drop the 6" net pots in them - but you know what? I think I'm just going to cancel this order lol. Thanks for your input.

No problem best to have real similar setups for hydro veg and flower or just plant in one tent then when you switch it to 12 12 you can plant the other tent so it's vegging while the other is flowering and just run full cycles in both tents but staggered
