I meant to say - thanks for this tip too. It did seem like I may be inventing a problem before there is one. The day I'm pulling close to 2 lb's per 1k is the day I take you all out for pizza. I look forward to honoring that statement.

5 gals in veg too? I considered it. I just want to have only two places to have to change nutes - the flower rez, and the dwc tote - and I don't want two RDWC systems just yet for simplicity's sake. Out of curiosity, how much do you yield per light with 4 buckets under em?

To @Alaric I used this program called SketchUp. Free for 30 days... I learned it all within the same day or two that I did my design -- my own version of geeking out. :) For the air conditioner and totes and 5 gallon buckets, you have to find "Models" in their marketplace. I found an almost...

Thanks all for the replies. It all helps more than you know. @Alaric and @GrowJahsGift yeah.. I'm actually thinking of bailing on the grow tent package now that I know what I need, and I think I can get it all for a lot less, and with enough digging, in a near-new state, from glorious sites...

Thanks for the advice @blackforest and @drgreentm ... I'm definitely rethinking my design based on your input. I have also heard/seen/read that it's not so much about plant count, it's about the wattage being dropped on 'em. I guess for me I've got the opportunity to legally grow up to 18...

Olddd post but, AMEN BRUTHAH

Thanks in part to this community's input, I'm now thinking a 4x4 600W MH with two 20-gal totes with 12 3" holes for 3" net pots with rockwool and hydroton in veg room. Each tote will be its own DWC (sharing common pump and air systems between totes) with a drip system to feed them from seedling...

Thanks for the reply, A. Read your link in sig, that's some fascinating stuff, helpful too... cool to see someone with 20+ years of experience chiming in. The 1000w's will have A/C reflectors, good question. This is the package I'm looking at (click here). (As an aside, do you think it's a fair...

Thank you, that's a really good point about the transferring from a medium to the RDWC... I've been doing even more research (it's my favorite new hobby in downtime), and I see someone say you can grow them on tables/in totes in well-rinsed hydroton medium (which will be mostly residue-free), in...

Thanks -- any clue on the question around the veg to flower tent...? Not sure what people prefer to do there typically, in regards to two RDWC systems, or another hydro system, or what in the veg tent...

Thanks for the reply, bud. I've grown outdoor in the past, but this is a big leap. The way I see it, I'd rather learn on the system I plan to use in a cycle or two than just grow soil indoors just to "feel comfortable." I've done a ton of research and have friends that grow, so I feel like I...

you seem to have done a build similar to what im doing except im trying to squeeze 18 buckets in a 4x8... is it achievable? stupid? haha, i posted on the forum too if you'd like to reply to that. just wanted your input! thanks.

Looking to get two grow tent packages - 1 4x4 for veg with a 600w MH, then 1 4x8 for flowering with 2 1000w HPS bulbs. My goal is to have 18 mature plants in the flower tent, and 18 (or more) in veg tent. So, I plan to have an 18 5-gallon bucket RDWC system for the 4x8 (with an extra as...
