Hey! i have read numerous threads and just need some help ( actually a lot...)

I am setting up a room for 30 plants... can someone help me with a basic list of things i will need???

I cant decide between Aeroflo 60 ( should be fine for 30 plants?) or Aerojet 8 tray?? pros cons of each system???

what grow mediums are the best???

will 2X500w bulbs be enough for 30 plants??? is it better to have 2 stationary or 1X1000w moving light????

should i go with HPS? i understand LEDs too expensive? should i get different bulbs for veg and for flowering?
what kind of ballast will i need?

what nutes are the best??? so far i have read that connoisseur are the best ones - but they are only added at flowering stage? what should i use for the rest of time?

i also understand i will need a ppm/ph/ec meter... i picked hanna hi based on some threads...

now should the walls be covered certain way in the room? or white walls will do?

did i miss anything????
oh and if someone can just throw a link at me with some useful info on how to aeroponics??? i guess there are a lot of new threads like this on this forum every now and then so i'll appreciate any help i can get!!!!

thank you!!!!!

hey man hows it going...lemme start off by saying im not very experienced with hydro/aero so i cant answer the first question but i can answer the other ones.
as for your lights im not too sure 1000w will grow 30 plants pretty big...its prolly gonna hurt your yield a bit but i would say 2x500w because you can spread it out a little more than 1 light.
HPS is your best bet but its mostly a flowering light so you will prolly want a metal-halide...but you dont HAVE to.
i would say fox farm nutes but thats just me...im pretty sure you can get a set of 3 different nutes that u will need.
...meter needed of course and a thermometer.
white walls will do as long as its glossy...if not i would say mylar.
cant wait to see your grow man im not even lookin at it and i know ima subscribe!!
peace
