cant decide what system is right for my hopes.

the plan for my 6x2x8 flowering room is to have 2 rows for 4 plants giving them 1sq foot ea for my sog and another 8 plants in the 2x2 area added halfway through flowering so i can have a harvest every 4-5 weeks. then after the 4 weeks in the small area they move to the larger area to stretch and finish. they lighting is gunna be two 400watt hps with cool tubes and a good fan to cool them. my goal is 6oz every 4weeks. with a 2 week veg from clone. my question is what system should i use to water the babys? they will need to be able to be moved after 4 weeks of flowering. i was thinking netpots. but cant decide between nft, aero, or drip. i was thinking a 2 6i. big pcv pipe would be the easyest to set up with my small area. 4ft long with holes cut every foot. any step in the right direction would help.

Personally, I'd suggest going with pvc/vinyl gutters and NFT... Use two or three of them and alternate the position of the net pots.

you have three options to dissolve oxygen. circulate the solution, circulate oxygen within the solution, or circulate the solution within oxygen.

A really really really good NFT system has a film thin layer of solution with most of the roots suspended in air. Combined with the high humidity in the gutter/pipe, it could honestly compete with aero when dialed in flawlessly.
 
kinda leaning to aero but iv never actually done it before. i have experience with drip and ebbn. was looking for something a little more efficient. it mists the roots every how long? and how easily do they transport after a month of veg? what do you recommend i veg in? because i always used rockwool.
