So here's the deal-
I have a 28"x54"x30" HxWxD space that I am planning on using. My plan is to have the 2 separate sides and keep this grow continuous. Due to the size restrictions I was thinking about using SCROG to limit my height while maximizing yield in the space.
With these restrictions in mind:
- CFL vs. HPS - My initial thought is CFL as they are easier to keep away from my plants due to the small height. also an HPS would be hard to keep cool with the space provided.
- Soil vs. DWC - I wanted to try out a DIY DWC container to see if I could reduce the height and have the plants at a final 6" height leaving 22" for the plant + lights. This would allow me to place the screen about 1' above the plants and have a good 10" to play with for positioning the lights. My thought is that DWC would beat out soil as the roots would be stuck in such a small container due to the height.
Any insights onto these decisions would be great!
