Ok so I am switching from soil to hydro. I have had experience with a general hydro bucket system so I am not new to hydro but haven't used it for a long time. I am looking to see what you all suggest for me. I am not going back to bucket systems so none of those please.
I am adding pics so you can see my space. I received all of my plants from a friend who moved out of state. I haven't had the time to get my room ready for them so the room will be upgraded with paint, hard surface flooring, and a good cleaning prior to switching.
I really want to know what hydro system you suggest. I will be building it myself, I don't have the money for a pre-made. My requirements are Little to no growing medium. I hated the whole growing medium thing when I used bucket system so any system that uses no medium will be given considerable weight. Also low cost is a huge factor. I cannot do sog or scrog cause its too many plants at once. Other than that I am open to suggestions.
I have a 100W MH for my clones and early veg. Then I move them to full veg which now has shop fluorescence (soon to be changed to a 400W MH). The final lamp is a 600W hps. Room dimentions are 8' x 2.5' for clone, veg area. Flower area is 11.5' x 6.5'.
Please feel free to ask questions if you need more info. I am starting to grow again after a long time off so I'm not familiar with all of the systems available. As I stated I don't like bucket drip systems. Whatever you all suggest I will take the consensus and do my research before switching. I have read all of the threads/posts relating to hydro systems here at RIU (awsome community btw). I just want to know what you all suggest for me within my parameters.
Thanks for help
