He's gonna get a 4x4. Dont get a 5x5
Even though it's 630w. It'd do a 5x5 if the canopy was kept away from the walls.

Yeah, think I'm going to stick with the 4x4 just for the lighting aspect - then get a smaller cloning tent.

nah not really. thats plenty of power for a 5x5.
in a 4x4 youll have to have them like 3ft above the plants at full power.

You talk to company reps that sell for the listing company.
Expect shipping on that fixture to be around $100 imo.
So what's the main difference in these lights?

Thanks to you guys - @Airwalker16 and @fragileassassin - I think I have my build down *subject to change haha
And I'm going to just go ahead and put in the extra coin to get good LEDs as it'll help with my temps (live in a hot / humid state) and save on my electricity bill.
2" PVC from the bottoms
3/4" PVC for the manifold
1/2" Tubing for waterfalls

You're welcome! Thats the design id go with right there!
As far as the differences in lights, one is boards the other is strips/bars. One is using only 660reds the other has 385near uva 730/660reds. And has more diodes. Also the board fixture is 480w and the geeklight is 630. The geeklight has got me drooling. I want it reaaaaalllllyy fucking bad.
Ahh okay - well I'm going to look into the geeklight after my next paycheck and we'll see what I can't make happen

On the page, click contact seller and start emailing them. Ask questions first make it look like you're not interested. Ask why there's is any better than kingbrite or meiju. You can sometimes get some cash savings

Yes, you'll need a 3/4" elbow for the bend over and into the tent at the height of the waterfalls. And a 1" bulkhead for your reservoirs bottom front where the inline pump is plumbed in. You said the pumps inlet is 1" & outlet 3/4" right? Also remember to get a mesh filter bag or "tea bags from the zon or the bay. Get a few actually. You'll need them to wrap around the filter I told you how to make for when using an Inline pump. You'll have the extra piece from the 1" pipe
Gotcha, so just curious - what's the benefits of using the waterfall over air stones?
So then a waterfall build will only need one air pump compared to the two. Got it.
I meant the control, my bad haha. Still trying to learn things

Other than having an access point, I'm still waiting for folks to chime in on WHY a control is needed...

No dude. There are NO air pumps. Period. You don't need a waterfall in the reservoir. In fact, you could put just one in the reservoir and pull from one of the buckets and it'd be enough. The only reason you do every site is because they'll be housing rootsI meant the control, my bad haha. Still trying to learn things
No I didn't mean a waterfall in the res. I have the Res connected to the 4 sites, a water pump outside of the res and tent that will be connected via the plumb for the manifold. Is that not how it's supposed to be done?
