Best way to Veg for Ebb and Gro?

Im gonna be using 2 ebb and gro 18 spot systems, i will be vegging 18 at a time and them on 4 week rotations so each 4 weeks 18 will be ready, i will veg for 4-5 weeks and flower 8-9 based on my strains.

My question is

Whats the best way to veg them for them to be ready to go to ebb and gro for flowering?

I was thinking a 3*6 flood table and veg them inside the ebb and gro buckets then take them right from veg to the ebb and gro system.

anyone have this for there setup with some pics or a better way to do it? each 6 plants will be under 1000W i am vegging under 2 600 W

If i really need to i can get a 3rd ebb and gro instead of a flood table its gonna be around the same price. and veg them right in the ebb and gro system

anyone? any help would be appreciated

looking up your system is work for a lot of people. Tell us the rotation cycle you plan on using? you state 2 systems at 18 clarify this please. IE most SoGs i've seen have mother are clone area, and then 4 trays and run on a 2 week rotation. Depending on the number of plants you tend to use per cycle will help determine the number of mothers you need thus the size of your mother room. A 21 plant per tray will take about 6-8 mothers for that setup.

Ok so i re read that I see now. so 18 plants on a 4 week cycle. I would say 4 mothers would g et you by. You can raise them on floures but will see more vigorous growth with an HID of course. Of course youre going to top it to make it branch out and provide lots of clones. If you have the space of course might be best to keep the mother and cloning /vegging area separate. I don't see any reason why you couldn't veg em in the same are a couple of weeks. They are going to be really tall I imagine once you flower them. What's your height like in the space?

I don't think people are reading your post correctly. Yes veg in a tray with square pots, transplant into your E&G for Flower.

Pertfect thanks, I thoiught i made the post as clear as can be

18 Will be in the cloner, 18 will be in veg 18 will be 4 weeks old in flower when the next 18 come into flower, everything will be vegged for 4 weeks and then put into flower, the flower room will be on 4 week rotations of 18 plants at a time.

Can i veg in the Ebb and Gro pots with the holes on the bottom? would that work just as good

Keep in mind that each 4 week group will need different nutrients.

I'm gonna have 2 18 stations, each one will be on its own Res

If you feel like buying the extra 18 buckets that will be your best bet. But yo can always veg in like gallon pots on a diy flood table and save your self a handful of cash. i veg mine about 18 days in 4x4x4 disposable pots i can pack 48 into a 3x3 tray.

But when you do that how do you transplant them? cuz i am using the 2 gallon white cotton medium what are you using for your medium?

I dont think you can transplant into stg's. I use straight hydroton, so i just pop themout of the 4x4's and place in the 2g. ebb buckets then fill with more hydroton. I can get them to about 14" in the 4x4 pots
