I have done 2 succesful small operations already. The first in soil under a small 28w led, and the second with the wick system under a 400 w mh. Looking to.do a cyclical drip system yeilding between one and two pounds a month . Flowering clones that are about 8 in tall how many 600w lights would I need? And how many plants? I have an 11x13 room to do this in. Also how large of a window unit will I need? I plan on using rockwool as a medium.

I would suggest 3 600w for good measure. It is possible to get 1.5 Lb give or take off 2 600w light per month but it's not as easy as one would think and would require perfect attention to detail and no mistakes. 3 lights will give you much more of an opportunity to achieve your goals. Either way will require a couple T5 lights for veg so you can rotate plants through on a constant basis.

Are you using rockwool in a hydro system?

I was going to build a rockwool drip system, but have been reading quite a bit, and it seems aero will be just as effective without the need for a medium. I am going to get the water tested at petco to see if i am going to need an r/o filter. We are buying a house that needs work so I am getting to do my room from scratch.
