rdwc setup help

Hello everyone, I was hoping for some input and advice, im a newby and am curently growing in soil but im going to be building a 12 x 5 gallon bucket rdwc system plus reservoir, im also doing all the resurch and reading everthing I can to lern and trolling all the grow pages, im growing In a 3'x10, 8' tall, ill be using gh line nutes, maby the lucas formula, 3x 600w hps or hid, cool tubes and a chiller to keep res temps down, and a 200lpm air pump, I have been debating adding a drip system or 1 or 2 misters to each bucket to help the roots get down to the solution ? Im not sure what would be better ? Ao any input on that would be great also, I dont wont to vegg verry long, maby 2 to 3 weeks. I figure more plants = less vegg. Thank you agen any input would be greatly appreciated. also, should I just use 2 50 gal totes instead of 12 5 gallon buckets,

I also have several new 800 gph pumps lying around

Any pointers would be great

Okay, I originally read this and gave up on giving advice. But your persistent, I like that =D

Your hydro system is too large for your room IMO. Thats really the only obvious problem I can see.

What size system would you recommend for my space and the 3 600w lights ? Lol and thank you haha

2-3 Square Ft per bucket will give you enough space to grow, flower, and manage a little on each side. So it looks like your best bet for a design might be to run 3-4 buckets down a line plus the res at the end. You could also run flexible hose to connect your buckets and at that point you could shift them off center for more room to move/navigate to the back.

That seems like a great idea, but do u think it would be beter to use totes vs buckets in this space, I also have gread access around 1long side of the room,

thank you for helping out

Check out my thread that I had going. (link below)

I would use the same totes as I did just re-configure how the water pump will circulate the water. I even stole a screen design off of @firsttimeARE and went scrog with 2.
