I have a 9x5 room. i use a ebb&flow/dwc system with 2 gallon pots. I only have 6 hooked up right now but the system is expandable to 48 pots on 1 55 gallon drum and a 3.5 gallon controller. I would run a system like this and that size room. like has been said. make use of your space.

to get the hightimes quality shit u need to do everything perfect. you will need at least 100 watts per plant. perfect temps(75F), perfect ventilation. perfect nutrients with hardly any mistakes, never letting the ph drift. and so many other factors. i wouldnt aim for hightimes shit your first try. a 1000 hps would suffice for a 10x10 but i would use 2 1000's and vent them. also get good seeds. you can grow it perfect but if the genetics suck you will get the same plants.

clones are easy cause u know the phenotype, genetics, and they skip the seedling phase. but seeded plants will become usually 25% bigger than clones. if you can get some badass clones go with those. if not get some really bomb seeds.

Sure man, let me see if i can think it all up.

  • Ebb & Grow Hydroponic system filled with Hydroton Expanded Clay pellets. Air pump w/ airstone in the res.
  • 2 600 watt hps's with a 270 cfm can fan venting them.(ducting). also an activated carbon filter hooked up to it to keep the odor down.
  • Botanicare's line of Pure Blend Pro organic nutes, Liquid Karma, and sweet. (bloom and soil bloom)
  • Insulated A/c Vent ducted into the room keeping it cool, since my lights puts off nearly zero heat. (my temps stay at 75 and 35%RH)
  • 10x100 foot roll of white/black visquine plastic to line my room and create a wall.
  • 9x5x8 foot room.
  • 2 16 inch wall mounted oscillating fans blowing air around an on the canopy
Thats my flowering room.

My veg box has this.
  • 2 foot x 3 feet x 3 1/2 foot cabinet.
  • Plastic box fans(2) one on the bottom of one side and the other on the top of the other side(intake,exhaust)
  • 250 watt metal halide
  • home made drip irrigation hydroponics with lines going to each rockwool pieces.
  • 18 gallon rubbermaid tub for my res.
  • small pump hooked up to my spider head for my hydroponics.
  • mylar lineing the walls.
  • pure blend pro Grow in there.
I think that it. i know im missing shit but thats the bulk of it.

sure bro. im hittin the bed. i'll check back to see if u got anything i can answer. hope my info got you to get some brainstorming. basically all im saying is you go cheap, you grow cheap. you ahve a big area. might as well make use of all of it, spend some extra money now and get a fucking ballin ass harvest that will pay for all your expenses. or skimp out now and get a skimpier crop. its all personal preference. i like to spend the extra money, get really nice shit, not worry about it breaking or fucking up and coming out with a bomb ass crop.

thats right. ive invested probly 2500 or more on just everything and misc. bullshit. but now i have everything for like 2-3 crops without buying anything else. only nutes if i need anything else. im doin it right and hope to get 3-4 oz off a plant. i get rid of 2-3 plants ive already made all my money back. thats all i want. is to pay for my expenses, have free smoke, and enjoy watching the most beautiful plant on this earth grow.
