Whats best in a 4x4 1kw grow, Hydro VS aero VS coco???

[phattybudz]

Right now I've been doing coco in a 4x4 perpetually. Now I've built a 30 site aero cloner and I'm wanting to do about 30 plants under a 1kw (that's the most lighting I can do because of my electrical situation atm.)

I'm moving out in about 6 months, and I'm debating whether or not to setup a dwc bucket, ebb n flow, or aero system in a 4x4 tent (or maybe buy a new 5x5 tent in my bedroom.) Under ideal conditions, what's going to pull the most, a 4x4 ebb n flow table, aero system, or 16 dwc buckets? I'm leaning towards buckets since I've done some before, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort to do it before I move out in 6 months... any thoughts?

I'm pulling some beautiful trees from 4x4 E&Fs. It's going better than my soil grow. E&F is toilet flush simple, I SOG in hydroton beds.

That being said. If you have past experience with DWC buckets that sounds like the thing to go with. Redesign your grow after you move. You may not have time to get a new system down before you have to move it.
Go with what you know until you get resituated.

Pandemic, how tall are your trees when harvested? How many can you fit in a 4x4? I'm thinking a 4x4 E&F will yield better than my pro mix and gro bags. May be time to switch.

This time I did 7 rows of 7 or 49 plants under each 1K.
True SOG would be 64 plants in a 4x4.
One side is 32" - 36", the other is closer to 45".
I am growing a sativa dominate stretchy Wonder Diesel.
My first time growing I got nearly 0.985gpw. I love the ebb and flow.

Nice yield on the Wonder Deez. How'd ya' like the finished product? Nice set-up. Really want to give it a try!

The "BEST" is the one that works for you.

You can find sucess stories and failures using all different methods - Y?
Because different strokes work differently for differnt folks - and conditions.

Choosing a method because of someone's elses success may not be a good method - finding what works and working with that method to perfect it.

I did both hydro and coco in a 4x4 1kw if you check the grow link in my sig. I got a slightly better yield in the DWC, and it was lower maintenance.

Cool thanks for the input guys. I will stick with coco til the move then decide between e&f and dwc I think.
