pay attention...best free advice you are gonna get. sounds like this is your first time growing? go soil. go HID. hydro is only gonna creat problems, especially with that many spaces. LED's are SUPER expensive for quality ones and i've yet to see one produce the yields that HID does.
p.s. please don't jump on my back LED mob. if you have a grow journal with high yields then please show me a link...

great advice
so many want to jump right into the deep end of pool before they learn to swim instead of going slow and getting feet wet first

couldn't agree with you more FAB. the other thing that seems like it would be a pain is all those reservoirs and seperate hydro setups for each of those spaces. that would be a fucking pain in the ass. already gonna be a bitch controlling the environment for all those spaces.
no doubt i wouldnt wont that job he would be a slave to his grow

ok i was kind of thinking of using big sterilight tubs with 2 or so in each and have 4 connected and have one drain nozzle and i am going to build the led's so it's not too expensive and also i was going to use compost tea in the tubs si i don't have to deal with harsh chemical nutes. thanks guys keep the ideas coming in there is no bad advice and no this is not my first grow just wanted to get feedback and perfect the design thanks !!
