The room is bacically 3x3x5 with a 600 watt hps vetical grow with co2 at 1200 ppm threw a regulator and tank. On this grow im thinking of 2 options. Tell me what yall think is better as fall as yealds. Either way, i run fox farm nutes at 1500 ppm and ph at 6.o and never had a prob.

Option A. 8 soil plants in 1 gallon pots with a scrog, co2, and fox farm nutes.

Option B. 3- 4 gallon DWC hydro with 1- 3 inch net cup, 20gallon air pump, co2, 600watt hps, 2 8inch air stones, scrog ...

so basically, 3 bigger hydro plants or 8 smaller soil..????? Im looking at yield vs time ext... I also am working off of clones :weed:

What I would do:

8 2 gallon pots(not 1gal) of soil, SCROG. C02 is nice, but not necessary. That money could be put to good use elsewhere.

If you want to give hydro a try, don't rule out ebb & flow. I use this thing. It's pricey and I'm not suggesting you buy it, but I point it out to illustrate that a similar setup could be put together for much less money(with some ingenuity), though you'll have to use multiple timers and work out a well-coordinated schedule. I guess I like the flexibility of using individual pots, versus a large storage bin DWC setup. Not really putting down DWC, though.
