Ok so I'm moving into a new spot next month and I cant wait to get the grow going. Ive allready purchased a 10x10 grow tent (which is a little big but I am hoping to get up to a 6 light set up on the next go around.) , I'm going to be in the garage and im going to attempt to make a CGE (closed grow environment) as much as I can. I really want to start pumping CO2 which is why im making the transition into a tent. aside from that I'd like to get my ladies done a little quicker, the whole vegging for 6 weeks to 2 months- over it. Also my last two grows have been in soil. I liked the results I got but the watering can be a pain when your doing a large number of plants. Im looking for a pretty simple, proven, functional, and user friendly system. Ive been looking at the general aero 60 plant setup but i have a few concerns. One, the plants are placed extremely close from what im seeing. also ive heard of people having issues with the resivor. sometimes i may not be able to check on the plants for a day or two so i need something stable that wont dry up overnight. and the only drawbacks ive seen to the dwc system is i havent seen any systems that accomidate a 6 light setup. Basically my budget for this portion of the grow is about a grand, so im looking for something easy and capable. any ideas or comments? any help is appreciated :leaf: :hump:

Dude you are in luck, Go with Aeroponics all the way!!

This is the best DIY aeroponic system, you convert floodtables.
This will cost some money they you can build one to fit your needs.

Use 600w for a 3x3 table or 1000w with 4x4.. Use ABS plastic for the tops and 2" net pots. Drill as many holes as you want!

Insanely crazy growth rate and very easy to use.. I tried soil and this is so much easier. Inbox me if you have ?'s

DWC all the way in my opinion: simple, effective, cost-efficient. And its always nice to see the explosive growth once the roots hit the water's surface. It's almost like you can see them growing before your eyes. Very cool.
