I am going to set-up a system soon. I will be getting a harvest every 2 weeks. I will be using the flood and drain method. I will use (4) 2' x 4' tables. I am going to put 20 plants in each table, and each plant will be in a 6" square pot. The mothers will be in a 1' x 4' table. What size resivoir should I use for each table? I am going to use the eco396 pump for each resivoir. I am going to be using Rockwool as the media. I am going to use a 400 watt HPS over the mothers. What should I use for the flowering tables? I am going to go with magnetic ballasts since digital ones are a little bit to expensive. I will use FoxFarm nutes. I am going to be growing white rhino or Ice from Nirvana. Should I add CO2 to the plants? I will have an air pump in each resivoir. I will have an oscilating fan blowing on the flowering and mother plants. How often should I flood the trays? Thats all of the questions I have so far.

List of questions:

What size resivoir should I use for each table?

What size HPS should I use for the flowering tables?

Should I add CO2 to the plants?

How often should I flood the trays?

Happy smoking!:joint:

Edit:

What should I do about smell?

What should I do about ventilation?

Alright, that helped some. I still am wondering what people would recommend to put over the flowering tables. Each table is 8 Sq feet. The rule of thumb is 50 watts per SQ, so a 400 Watt HPS over each table will suite. I still do not know what size resivoir to use. They say atleast a 100 liter, but I don't know if I need bigger. I figured out that I will not be adding CO2 to the air. Atleast not with the first cycle. Also how often should I flood?
