hmm so thats what a 4x4 mini hut basically. id use a 3x3 or if it will squeeze in a 4x4 flood table. Very simple and you can do 12-18 plants easy in there under 1 400 or 600 watt light.I have a 3x3 going in a siilar sized grow hut posted on here

Hello -- you are free to choose whichever you prefer but i would urge you to pay attention to FilthyFletch's advice. He knows hydro very well having built many himself and is helpful provided you do your research.

His successful gardens speak for themselves.

my two cents...

if you are doing soil, why are you asking about hydro?

 

[thc4me420]

if your doing soil water ever 3 days or so

a drip system (or just about any hydro system) would indeed clog with soil. Good thing you don't put soil in hydro systems!

lol yh i know i was thinking about getting a whole hydro system and then i thought to just get a trainer but that wont work so ill just put a tray under the plants

 

[LoudBlunts]

trainer? trays? what?

trainer? trays? what?

good question, LB. Judging from the other posts, I would hazard a guess that the OP is looking for an automatic watering system for soil - rather than a hydro set-up. But i'm often wrong.
