Okay, so this is the first time I have had a spot of my own to grow in. I'm not quite sure what the final dimensions will be but it seems to be about 4'x8'x8' for now. The water piping for the basement is right next to this little closet so we were thinking we may as well try out hydro. We have a decent budget to work with so we are trying to do this right. Looking for opinions on what method of hydro you think we should use and the rest of the equipment. Should we go with 2 600s? What quality fans and controllers should we be looking at? Is that a sufficient amount of lighting to warrant the use of CO2?

Any and all advice is much appreciated!

Thanks

1000hps per 4x4. some A/C. CO2 is good but you need everything else dialed in to reap benefits.

you want to grow alot of small plants or a few huge ones? any plant count restrictions?

rdwc or ebb/flow would be my suggestion.

If it's possible in the budget go for high quality led lighting. Between light being way more efficient but almost no heat or bulb changes. I have no heat problems at all. 4" fan is dialed down to maintain 20-23 deg. But $1500 for the solar storm 440 which is 600 equivalent
