Ok I am growing in a 4' wide x 2' deep and 8' feet tall. I researched other methods but this seems like it is the easiest. I found a growing tray that is 2' x 4' but it is only 6 inches high, would this be sufficient for growing like 4 plants it doesn't seem deep enough.
No, that size container isn't large enough to use for ebb and flow.
I suggest that you use a Rubbermaid type container like a dish pan. For a plant that is going to grow over 3 feet tall with LST, one plant per container is enough. Sex the plant before putting it into the system. That way you won't have any problems trying to remove a male. A proper ebb and flow container needs to be at least a foot deep, wide and long. That's a cubic foot of space. Anything less and it won't have enough room to grow freely. Here is a link to a very basic Ebb and Flow system.

I don't agree with their usage of 1/4 and 1/2 water lines and their use of pots within the growing area, but you'll get the idea.
If you would like advice on a system for your needs, let me know. I've built many, many hydro units.
Good luck.
PS, I use 1 inch ID, Black plastic flex lines for mine. That way, I'm assured to NOT develop any pressure that might blow a fitting or clamp. I've had both happen years ago. It makes a God Awful mess.
Because of the inherent risk of electrocution from the combination of water and electrical devices, don't fool around with Hydroponics until you know what you're doing. You can kill yourself. No joke.
