I currently have a spare room that I plan on growing with the room size is 12x10x8 what is the MAX amount of plants and light wattage you would recommend doing a rdwc setup. Money is not important to just looking for good recommendations. Thanks in advance!

But how many plants would you recommend for the size?

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

plant size is your variable x

x = veg time + health + light source

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

you have 120 sq ft 10×12 so you need 4800w for a decent yield 40w per sq ft

with the setup I have now id like atleast 5-6 feet tall and I have 2 feet between each bucket.

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

consider a plant with 30 days veg in great health depending on strain may take up between a 4-5 sq ft,, longer veg larger plant

a good 6-8 week veg and your gunna make a tree

Do you think 4 of these would work?

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

I prefer HPS, better to ask an LeD expert

@bk78 is getting excellent results with his board in a 4x8

Rusty Lee Shackleford · Dec 6, 2020

his profile seems to be private. Can't access.

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

I figured he would answer here

Rusty Lee Shackleford · Dec 6, 2020

well any tips and tricks are greatly appreciated. Even supplies tips like ph down and shit. Right now im using stuff from the aquarium store that doesn't maintain a 1 + - ph for even 18 hours in a single 5 gallon bucket.

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

I would start reading about res maintenance, root temps, root rot, sterlie or benny res, ph is vital in rdwc, read and read then read more , start a journal here and others can help along the way, nothing better then a success story

get a decent ppm and pH meter , for a room that size you'll be mad if you kill them all with faulty tools

use the storage solutions or keep your tools clean they are worth their weight in gold

Rusty Lee Shackleford · Dec 6, 2020

yeah right now I got a vivosun ph and ppm/edc pens. I've been doing as much youtube and forums reading i can to learn but some things just don't explain things the best thats why I was happy to find an active forum.

kovidkough · Dec 6, 2020

those are cheap and won't last long if improperly stored, been there done that. get some paper as a backup, if you lose your ability to monitor ph accuracy in dwc your begging for problems

Rusty Lee Shackleford · Dec 6, 2020

yrah I've been looking at the blue lab continuous ph ppm monitors but just can't afford 300+ for a startout grow maybe the 2nd grow. Any other pens or monitors you would recommend?
