iv got 4 1000 watt lights and i want to grow 4 plants per light
(curently im growing 9 plants per light)
I want to build a system similar to CAPs ebb and grow bucket system and use the Sure to grow media.
the CAP system uses 2 gal pots and im thinking that those are just not going to be big enough to give me a good thick canopy when using only 4 plants per 4'x4' or even 5'x5' area.
here is the bucket i was going to use. hXXp://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=8627
was originaly thinking of going with the 5 gal bucket but the only difference is that the 5 is a few inches taller and all the roots just hang out at the bottom of the bucket anyway.
with this system im expecting to veg my plants for 6-8 weeks and flower for 8-9 weeks.
In soil with 3 gal smart pots im veging them 3-4 weeks and flowering 7-9 weeks (9 plants per 4'x4')
please let me know if you see any potential problems with this idea or if anything i said sounds confusing.
thanks for your help.
