hey the thing about those hydrofarms your running..the ph drifts alot you have to check them constantly..believe me. good thing I just used 1 but another grower used the 8 bucket system and he had the plants in the back getting a low ph while the front plants were higher. the water just stays instead of refreshing itself
Yeah..I could see how you might not get good circulation with the 8 pot system....Only using two pots with seperate pumps....should prevent stagnating water problems...I bought a Digital PH gauge and a Digital TDS gauge today....Havent even sprouted a seed yet and I'm $600+ in the whole....this Shiot better work:mrgreen:

I only plan on using an oscillating fan in the closet...The fluoros are 2000 lumens each...I would buy up to 4 more to hang vertically...much more light than that and I would have to vent...My closet is in an RV/mobile Trailer and the only way to vent with stealth would be to cut hole in roof or wall...not happening!!!...So HPS/MH isnt an option...I also bought 6 2700k fluoro bulbs (red light) for flowering....I'm either gonna buy a few more T5 fixtures or supplement light using CFL's....If my yield sucks I'll consider doing all the HPS/vent/pipes everywhere setup....however I'm optimistic about this setup.

I have a MIlwaukee 3 in one tester. ph, ppm, and ec. Venting might be necessary to get 4-6 ounces. I'm planning on 4-5 ounces per plant on this grow I have goin.
