I am setting up an attic grow. My biggest problem at the moment is height. From the floor to the light is only 44. I am going to air cool my lamps. I also am using a light mover in order to keep my plants as close to the light as possible. At this point I need to decide on the type of hydro system I will use (I cant pump dirt in and out of my attic). The goal is to keep the plants as close to the ground as possible. Right now I am thinking about using a 5 gallon bucket for each plant. I am thinking of cutting a square hole in the lid of the bucket. I will be able to drop my 8 pots into this hole. I would then add a pump and an air stone. This way each plant would have its own reservoir and drip system. My other option is to go DWC. With DWC I think I would be able to put more water in my bucket. This would be a huge plus as I wouldnt have to add water as often. My concern is with a power outage. I have read a power outage can kill a DWC plant in hours. Is this true? Would adding H202 help? Dose anyone use a UPS for there air stones incase of a power outage? Anyone got any other options to keep my plants close to the ground?
How much water can a 2 foot tall plant drink in a day?
Thanks for any input. Peace
