best Aero system for 4000w hps light
planning to get one for 4000w light setup aerogarden for the first time i been ebb flow guy for awhile and soil under my belt.
i'm trying to do it in a 10x 10x space but i been looking at aeroflo 96 since i thought thats the biggest unit they make.
if anyone used it or know something let me know thx. or if there is better aero system that i'm missing out let me know...

one more question i always thought water cooled AC was way to go since it uses water to cool the temps down in the grow room. instead of using pwr. i done some reserch and it seems water cooled ac is not too reliable and it costs like 2000. So now i'm kinda thinking about split ac unit since thats the next pwr thing that i know. anyone know any good Ac unit ??? water cooled or pwr?
 
Like he said two aeroflo 60 sites just make sure to have a dehumidifer and a water chiller before you start and you shouldn't have any problems also nothing organic. It will clog the lines, yield wise I've seen and got 2lb per light with these machines just don't veg for too long basically sog sorta grow that's using 4 1000w lamps in oversized hoods like raptors from hydrofarm
 
you can buy a pre-made system like aeroflo, had 2, lost em 15 years ago in a dispute with a grow partner, then relocated and built 6, 3x5, 15 sites, 10" spacing between netpots and rails, 5 on each post, from 4" pvc fence posts and better fit to my needs and always expandable for less money, and was hitting 1.5-2 elbows per system with 3-4 weeks veg on a perpetual basis in a 10x12 room with 4k, 2 rows of 3 systems side by side and 2k each row system overlapping all of the systems all JACK HERER, LOVE DIY !!

Try to build them ala STINKBUD or SUPERSTONER they are the shit with that kind of systems

thx for the tips canna and federal i thought on one was gonna reply me for awhile ...
basically i already know how to do ebb flow and i've gotten about 2 pounds off of it on 4x4 tray i had about 150 clones but has potential to hit 3.5 p. so thats where i come from and to hear 2p's per light sounds not too great for me ferderal since i can alrady pull that or more from ebb flow.
as for making my own i thought it would be good idea to buy the aeroflo and take a look at how it works first before i try anything like that but i'm not a crazy handy guy. i would wrather hire a trustworthy handy guy to make the shit for me. thats my handly level for ya lol but far as mixing nuts and all the other shit i'm good.
my method with ebb flow was about 2 weeks in veg before switching to flower.
but i thought it would be over grow with aeroflo so i thought mabe one week would be ideal in veg before flower if i was gonna use all of the holes60 per light i guess.
i also heard about clogging issues with roots too i hope it wont clog the shit out of it if i fill the whole site.
i hoped to get more than 2.5p p's per light since i can already get that from 1000w from ebb flow.
 
I had 6 systems for a total of 12#, in a 12 weeks period with 90 plants total, harvesting 15 per system every 2 weeks, if you take in consideration that 2k were overlapping 3 systems each row, it comes to 3-4 lbs per light from 30 plants. not too shabby but again it was 15 years ago and I was a newbie by then experimenting in aero and did good for the knowledge I had by then.

Regarding the build off, that's what I did. took notes of thoughts I had on my aeroflos and built them with better stuff better pumps, sprayers, manifold and spacing also a bigger reservoir so my ph and ppm stayed in range

I raised the spray bars and put them to the side, next to the netpots avoiding root clogs and it worked.

Search on riu for stinkbud the harvest a pound every 3 weeks thread it has a lot info about the systems and how to build them also superstoners my 3 stages of flowering, he modified stinkbuds to a high custom level with stellar results also his nute recipe is proven by every one following him, pulling great numbers

I hope this help you and have fun and great time getting together a system for your needs
