That would be 5 flower setups and 5 res. Under the 4ft post stinkbud uses. to keep the same setup for the 8ft long post I would need to double the amount of sprayers and pump size. Or use one res. per 8ft post. any other ideas so I dont have to buy so many pumps and res. Im going with l.e.d. lights and HO flouresents and 200w compact ones also. so heat wont be a huge issue. any suggestions
I actually put alot of thought into this because I planned on running more posts myself and there are a TON of options...you can change the res size, the pump size, etc. etc. It really depends on how you plan to harvest but for this example lets say you harvest every 3w. The thing is with this if you want to be able to slowly up the nute solution (say every 3w when you add new plants) you need 3 reservoirs. There is a 40 gallon rubbermaid that has the same height (if not smaller than) the 20 gallon, it's just way wider. You could run one of these res to accomodate 21-28 plants and just have 3 pumps and 3 res's.
My room won't accomodate this due to the layout I built so I'm going to just run one extra post into a 20 gallon res. I know the 3 post is going to be outside of the typical gravity drain right into the res so I'm going to add a funnel at the end of the post where it normally drains and then just run tubing from the bottom of the funnel into the res. Presto! Problem solved. You just really need to think about what you want to do and what all the possible solutions are.
Good luck with it.
