Indoor Hydroponic Help Needed!

[DRMedical420]

Hello,

I am starting an indoor hydroponics grow with cannabis for 8 to 10 plants in an area measuring 4meters (L) X 2meters (W) X 3meters (H).

I would like the system as fully automated as possible including climate control, nutrition, lighting, etc. (As little maintenance as possible)

This grow is to support my medical patients with the highest quality product possible, so money is no issue.

Please provide me with a solution for a completely remotely controlled system that is the best of the best!

Any information supplied will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Warm regards,

DR 420

Then yer set

Which would you rather have:

- PHYTOMAX-2 1000 LED GROW LIGHTS

or

- SolarSystem® 1100 UVB?

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

Are u new to growing... Or you an old, well young, pro

 

[DRMedical420]

Not new to growing, but id like someone else's version of what they would do to bounce ideas off as some systems can integrate through different brands.

My version starts off with Two of : PHYTOMAX-2 1000 LED GROW LIGHTS or SolarSystem® 1100 UVB lights. Haven't decided yet, thoughts?

 

[DRMedical420]

or the 602GH Spectrum King?

I don't have any suggestions, but I'll lurk to learn.

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

Have u looked into Quantum Boards

Here they are pretty good

 

[DRMedical420]

I don't have any suggestions, but I'll lurk to learn.

We all here to learn at the end of the day that's why these forum communities are so important to the growth of our culture.

 

[DRMedical420]

Thanks for the suggestion, I've taken a look at them.

I have some questions:

- What are the Par levels, spectrum and light distribution in a comparison between the above-mentioned lighting rigs?
In Particular, the SolarSystem® 1100 UVB light as that's my front runner due to the UBV included.

- Something like multiple 600w led quantum board v3 with additional red and UV?

Looking forward to your response @Bobthe420Builder

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

No clue. No idea about the lights your talking about

But I bet there is lots of info on the Interwebs about both that u could compare

 

[DRMedical420]

If you had to pick your ultimate light setup for 10 plants what would you do?
@Bobthe420Builder

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

I'd personally go with quantum boards.

Veg spectrum at 4000m with blue added

For flower 2700k or 3000k with red spectrum added

Will take a lot of lights for that big space

 

[DRMedical420]

Understandably so, Thank you for sharing your opinion. It has been very helpful.

Which brand has the best setup that you would use and how many for 10 plants?

 

[DRMedical420]

Curious why you wouldn't go the route of the spectrum king which looks like the best out there as far as normal LED, as per your suggestion.

I'm guessing it has something to do with climate control?

I'm trying to find the best-automated system for water, nutrient, aeration and climate control that can notify me when there is an issue to attend to. Oh doing Deep Water Culture as it has a minimal maintenance routine in comparison.

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

I'd start with the sponsors here , see what they have

 

[DRMedical420]

What do you think of this setup?

I could and would scale up to this?

 

[DRMedical420]

I'd start with the sponsors here , see what they have

Namely, which sponsor would you suggest?

As I'm in South Africa and it takes ages to import something I've started my seedlings. I'm 2 weeks in already.

 

[Bobthe420Builder]

Oh

That's a different story. I'd find out who ships to you and go from there

 

[DRMedical420]

I have found a supplier who has stock of the California Lightworks SolarSystem 1100.

How many would you suggest for 130 square foot or 12m square?
