Let me first say I know what Im doing, just need help with design and setup of my new grow space that is 40" wide, 8 feet long and 8 feet tall.... NOt sure if I want to do 3 plants soil or 2 plants dwc. Would rather do DWC cause of bigger yield with less plants. I have done dwc but have had to work to keep water temp under 72 degress especially when plant is small and foliage is NOT blocking hps from rez. I also don't plan on using the entire 8 feet long closet, only trying to use 5feet long by the 40 inches bc of the light coverage (Rectangular LED make sense for rectangular space???).... I have some questions/concerns below
1.) FIND Me a nice LED light for my 40"x 5 foot grow area.
- I want a about a 300 watt LED (600 watt HPS equivalent) will spend up to $800
- LED needs veg and flower capabilities
- Also since LED doesn't give off much heat will I have to put in a couple CFL's for temperature variance in grow room for lights on and lights off ?? (I would rather not, only want the led bulb, don't want to put multiply lights on multiply timer.)
2.) Need a turn keep simple DWC rez with for 2 plants. Would rather buy it online. Don't really want to build it...I would like a water rez that holds about 15 gallons of water taken into consideration that the net cups will be 3-4 inches long.
- Maybe a cooler like this ?? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-Quick-and-Cool-150-Quart-Cooler/16437963
Minis the net cups this would hold almost 15 gallons which would help ph fluctuations. Would put net cups on separate ends and put another hole towards the middle to put in water/nutes. The two rez holes would then be about 30 inches apart is this good also ??? Remember my main concern is rez temp. Don't wanna be putting frozen water bottles in rez every couple of hours cause I can't I will be working.
Experts please. Also I will be asking a few more in depth questions as this unfolds.
