ok. let me make sure I am understanding this correctly. You have 3-60 site aero-flos and you added another 60 site to each of the 3, and you have a total of 360 sites, with three reses, etc? wow, that is a lot, and you can do all of the plumbing, air handling electric etc. yourself?
The nutrient control is dependant on the meters, if you can set this up you can learn how to read a digital meter. 90% of it is water and you still have the ro machine, I would assume the Pro bought the size necessary for this operation or money might be an object. Earl can help you with adjusting nutes etc. several others, FilthyFletch would be my choice if he has the time. There are probably several others here that run aero flos, or other nft set ups, I just haven't paid attention to that, its not the system I am using.
What size are the rooms?? VV

i just looked at my last post and it looks confusing .... maybe look at it this way if you were going to have a grow house built for volume and eficientcy .... growing white rhino and ak-47 ..... what would you do if money wasnt a problem..... what i really need is someone for me to study under for another year but i am on the east coast and dont even know anyone here that even grow 5 plants let alone a room full .

one piece of general advice. get one light, start with a relatively small number of plants - say less than 10, and get the experience you need before putting any more money into the setup.

I agree with desertrat, get a couple of small grows under your belt before expanding. It's easier to concentrate on the needs of a few plants rather than a room full. If you can manage a grow from start to finish without messing up, then up the scale of your op.

Ok, did you solve the hot water problem, must have, if not you will need chillers, around $400 each.
Instead of using a lot of different add-ins, you may have to just buy better nutes that have all of that stuff in them. And get good meters. It's hard to learn what to do if you never do it. Some folks just are not good at training others, thier thought is that they can do it faster than they can let you do it, and tell you how. It is not that difficult, you read your meters and react according to what they tell you.

anyway ... when i said money isnt a problem ,it is not a problem for me to if the set up produces but if not I cant afford to take a chance on an elaborate set up if it doesnt work.... so what ever i do i have to get it right this time ... now i do like the set up that see more buds has in vol 1 and leaning towards doing that.....i also so widow makers set up in his newb post which is really cool too...so that is why i am in the grow room link.Basically i need a fool proof esy to maintain efecient set up that will produce 20-30 lb if that is possible in 2 8x10 bedrooms ..... i do have a helper my 60 year old uncle who grew outdoors back in the day in TX....so that is what i need oh VICTOR thank you for reply brother i really apreciate it
You have everything you need except a little confidence. That will only come with experience. The 8' by 10' may be a problem. three of you units are 6' by6' and three are 6' by 5'. 120 stations would fit in each of those rooms, and could give you a Harvest of 60 plants every two weeks.
