Im trying to figure out which ebb N Grow I should go for.
Should I choose the basic system or the Ebb N Grow Monster system?

These are my worries and what Im trying to accomplish.
I will be setting this system up in a room (somewhere around 10'X10'). This room will house 6x 1,000W HPS lights in 8"blockbuster hoods. Also will have a Propane burner in this room.

Which system would you recommend for this?
I would like to do maybe 4 plants per light. With the basic system being able to accomodate up to 24 sites that would be a perfect fit. With the monster I would need 2 complete systems. I would like the monster because of the bigger buckets, bigger roots= bigger plants.

Would you buy 2 monster systems(plus 2 upgrades per system) to get your 24 plant sites. or would you do 1 basic system(with a few upgrades) for 24 sites. The basic system would be cheaper all around.

One perk of the monster system is that I would need 2 systems. That would allow me to have a perpetual flowering room as one system could be 1 month behind the other.

Also, does anyone know if either of these systems have issues that are not corrected? I hear alot of overflowing issues and what not but they all seem to be with the basic ebb and grow system(which is another reason to go with the monster).

I know Im all over the place with these questions but Id like to think I covered all basis.....

In other words... Which system would you use in this room and why?






Equipment:
CO2(propane burner)
6KW of HPS lighting
General Hydroponics Flora series
Advanced nutrients (Overdrive & Big Bud)
Strain will probably be God Bud(or some other heavy yield, potent earlier finishing strain)

2.5 is close to a 3gal bucket which is a basic template for rooting. 3-5 is good and with hydro systems (or any system really) is the more roots the better your plants will be, therefore I suggest the 5 gal system.

Monster plants need monster pots. The only way around that is Smart Pots, which air prune, otherwise you have too many roots and not enough space for them.
