DESCRIPTION:
Okay, so I have a very small independent 2-story house that I am converting to a grow house. Perhaps 750-800 square feet. It is 18ish feet wide and 22ish feet long. The downstairs is where all the living area. It has an eating nook, galley kitchen, full bathroom, and a tiny place to put a couch and TV. Lastly, there is a narrow straight run staircase going up only.
The upstairs has a tiny walk in closet and the rest is loft/open. Its walls go to 7-8 feet and then vaults at a 10:12 pitch. Its very tall (I would devote all the major growing here).
MY INITIAL THOUGHTS:
I thought I would use an ebb and flow hydroponic setup. I would use the downstairs bath to keep my reservoir for immediate water access. Id pump the nutes up to the second floor trays. Upstairs I will have (4) 4'x8" trays with (6) 1K watt lights. I would keep 1.5-2' between the trays to have access to every plant. The trays would sit 12" off the ground to allow the ebb and flow tubing and fittings to run under them.
In addition to the downstairs I would grow my clones in the eating nook using the ez cloner 120 and florescent lights. I can keep the kitchen and tv area the same for clipping and hanging out.
MY QUESTIONS:
(for max yield of course)
1. Should I grow several smaller plants or fewer bigger plants?
2. Should I let my plants grow freely or use scrog or sog or another method?
3. Since Im going ebb and flow hydro should I use cocoa matts or loose media or netted pots? I need to have convenience more than anything here.
Please help me here...the options seem limitless...and Id like some of your experienced input please! Thanks.
