I have only grow one time in soil before.
This time I will try to grow in hydro - "Ebb & Flow system"
I have following equipment:
6 x 600 w lamps ( not digital))
6 x 600 w digital lamps (look at picture)
12 x 600 w bulbs (MASTER SON-T PIA Green Power 600W)
1 x 200mm fan with filter (1000m3)
1 x 100mm fan
Co2 controlled system
RPM regulated system - fans
A lot of feminised DP White Widow seeds, and a lot of ordinary Northern lights sedds (sensi seeds)
I dont want to use all my lamps, but only 6 x 600w.
Anyone give me some advices on what Ebb & flood system I should use,
How big system I need, how big and how many plants I could plant on this system(want max. yeild), and more equipment I have to add the system.
And what kind of Maximum yeild I could ecpect on mentioned products.

I have finaly decided to grow my plants on Ebb & flow system, and I
will build this this system by myself. ( w:1.5 x L:3,0 x H:0.2 meters)
Can I build the gro tank and resevoir with wood plates, and cover the
inside of the tank / resevoir with reinforced epoxy.
Appreciate any comments on that.
Anyone tell me how fast I have to fill and drain the gro-tank, and how
many times in 24 houer. ( every 6 houers ?.)
How many pumps, and what kind of pumps would you advice me to use
on mentioned sizes of gro-tank ?.

You're obviously not growing for personal use unless you're growing for 100 friends. We don't encourage growing weed to market it. That's not what this group is about.
Please tell me more about what you're doing.
Please understand that this group is mostly people who no longer want to buy weed on the street because of the hassles, lack of quality, and inherent risks of cops. We teach these people how to grow enough weed in their own private homes to provide them with all the weed they could want for personal use and to give to friends to enjoy.
If we were to start telling people how to grow commercial grows for sale on the street, it would be kinda working against the very thing we're here for.
I don't want to teach anyone how to grow weed for sale.
Neither will I allow this group to be used for that purpose as long as I'm a Moderator here.
I hope you understand.
Stoney.

I dont grow for commercial use, belive it or not.
We are 6 persons on this setup, and we dont want to
grow many times a year.
I have my own company with employers, and I dont have to sell
this stuff to earn money. I have more enough.
The facts is that we look at this as a great hobby, nothing more.
We have also partys several times a year, then people who want to
smoke marihuane, get it for free.

Cool man. I can help you get setup.
One problem off the git go. Your electric usage will skyrocket. The cops watch that.
3,600 watts of 24/7 usage is real obvious...
Are you set to deflect the interest the electric company will have?

Thanks for Your replay.
The electricy are not a problem.
I use a lot of electricy on my company (manufacturing buisness),
so 3600w is not a problem.
Second, the cop can not check the electricy in my country.
We have another system in Norway - electric company, than other
countrys.
Appreciate if you could help me with my setup.
Ps. Sorry, I know my engelish are bad, hope you understand me.

Man, you have the setup I've wished for, all my life! I can help you make a really good hydroponic setup.
What will be the exact size of the entire grow area?
Do you want a continuous harvest, with a vegetative room and a flowering room?
You can completely automate the entire system, or someone will have to mix and top off the reservoir every night or at the most, two nights.
If you want a longer period of "no maintenance" time, you'll have to sacrifice a lot of nutrients down the drain.
Or, if you have enough money, there is an auto-mixing nutrient attachment you can put on the reservoir and never have to touch it. This system adjusts the timers for the lights, the change to a flowering mix all by itself. The last I checked, it costs about $2,500 USD.
Using this, you can just check it about once a week to make sure an asteroid hasn't hit it or anything. It never needs anything. You fill the concentrate containers about once or twice a year.
We will work on your system, but I have to ask you a LOT of questions and work with you. It will take time.
Oh, your English is great. The only thing I can do in other languages is cuss.

Stoney is the one to talk to.
TALK TO?
I want to move in.
I might consider a vacation to Norway...
Hahahaahaha
The only thing that keeps me from having a bunch of grow rooms, is I don't know what I would do with all that weed and I'm scared of the cops taking a doughnut break by my meter.
