Max Yield

I have a few grows under my belt using soil/coco and would now like to make the best use of my available space and go perpetual. I am thinking either hydro or aero but, am open to suggestions

I have:

-6x5 flower room

-4x4 tent available as a veg room.

-2 600w HPS

-1 400w MH or T5 for vegger


With the space available what kind of set-up would give the best/highest yields?

I have been looking into stink buds set-up and like what I see.


I am just finishing up a 6 plant grow right now (few more weeks left) so, I would like to get started as soon as possible.

Any input is appreciated.

I have the same exact space for flowering, 6x5...Right now I'm running a 1000w, but I'm going to add another 400w for 1400 total, or trade them out for 2x600w like you. That being said, I have 3 different flood tables, all 2'x3', so lined up they span a 6'x3' area. Each tray has a lid with 12 netpots suspended in it, and the plan is to take decent size clones, and throw them in there with minimal veg. The trays are on stands, and under each tray there is a 30 gallon reservoir for flood and drain.

Here's the deal for perpetual...you flower each tray 3 weeks apart, so you're harvesting one 2'x3' tray of 12 plants every three weeks. And since it's low veg, you can dedicate the 4x4 veg tent to a couple mothers and a cloning operation.

All this being said, I currently only have 2 of my 3 trays set up in my flower room, and I have plants that I've been growing from seed in there, but I'm running the lights 18/6 till I can clone all of them to jumpstart my operation without waiting for mothers to be ready. I also have another set of 12 plants in my veg tent waiting to go into the flower room. I'm gonna take cuttings off all the plants from seed, in the hopes that one of these 36 seeds is gonna be a keeper worthy of being a mother.

But yeah, I have each flood tray in the main room connected to it's own reservoir, and changing out like 80ish gallons of nutes a week in flower, and another 20 in veg isn't only a pain in the ass, but can get pricey unless you're using super concentrated nutes. I'm partial to DynaGro.
