Alright Building a new room in the basement, working with
12.5x26.5 Area
Debating splitting the room into two and using a flip box.
I run aeroponic tables(check out my sig) Ive been using 4x4 with 1kwatters but if i run 4x4 tables I can only get 4 each in each room.
So Im going to switch to 3x3 and 600w's, I figure at Max I could get 9X 3x3 tables in each room. (thats right 9x 600w on each side)

Ive debated leaving it as one massive room and using light movers.

Right now im sealing the basement walls to prevent any water seepage.

Inputs welcome if anyone has any bright idea's how to be more efficient please share, I may put pics up later but right now theres not much to look at

in a room that size i dont know that ii would run aero. just doesn't seem efficient to me and really it seems like you will be doing a LOT of running around trying to keep up with things.

I was going to have 3 rows of 3 in each room and run 3 tables off one res.
So id be managing 6 reservoirs total

But yeah if i ditch the aero id save a ton of $ considering all in all id be buying 18 tables and lids.
Not doin soil, a drip system maybe.
Im open to Ideas!

flood and drain, or hell a modified flood and drain, to have DWC cycles would be more efficient, you could probably get away with 3-4 res, and on top of that a lot cheaper, and more efficient use of your space with larger and less plants. time vs yeild peaks at a certain point remember that so if you can grow enough large plants in a given time you will receive the same amount of yeild as the "yeilds" from aero in the same space, but you will have done it with less plants.


aero and LED are awesome and i support them, but when it come to larger setups they become inefficient, without enough hands to run them.
