I have a 19x20x8 insulated garage. I'd like to run somewhere between 6-9 1000w Lights. I also have a 4ton mini split. Anybody have any ideas on what I should do? Rockwool, soil, Coco? Trying to get 1.5# or better per light. Would like to keep the plant count under 100.

Never did Coco but was thinking about drippinh in 10-12 2 gallon Coco pots on top of 4x8 trays. A buddy of mines told me 3 1000w gavitas over 2 4x8 trays.

Take a look at the auto pot systems. Nice and simple. The plants feed themselves. It's all done using gravity so no pumps needed but I'd recommend an air pump and air stones in the main rez

Build (tyvek & studs) a vegetation room and a flower room inside the garage. A simple idea is to split the garage in half (or make the flower room slightly bigger). I.E. 10x9 veg room and 10x10 flower room. Run 4 flood tables in the flower room with one light above each table.Run the minisplit to the flower room and have it draw through the veg room.

3x 6x10 rooms, 2x 4x4 groupings of plants in each room (tables, rockwool, buckets, etc), 1000W over each group, hallway to connect them and maintain clones, moms, equip, etc. I would personally run 600s rather than 1000s though.

I'd like to eventually make the switch to 600's in a 1:1 ratio with the de 630 CMH.

Living soil will give the best quality. Hydro is going be the better yield. Especially if you go with rdwc. If you build good sized beds around 2 feet deep and 2.5 wide filled with high quality soil mix with a good drainage and air/moisture ratio you can still get yields that can even impress dedicated hydro growers.
