hi guys, here is a very easy method to getting awesome, easy yields, inexpensively.

2 x 5x10 beds (could have easily been 5x12 beds for more yield)
100 plants (1p/sqft)
6 bails of sunshine or pro-mix
6-12 bags of gold label coco
100 ft 1/2 mainline
100 2gal per hour drippers
1 - 2 fan swamp chiller
1 matador co2 controller
1 8 burner blue ox co2 generator
1 65 pint dehu

- just build a 5 x 10 ft x 12 inch bed x 2
- attach a frame so to add 3 lights per bed and handle the weight of an a/c
-line the beds with double 6 mil vapor barrier
- run a 1/2 mainline from a 1200gph pump to the closest width of the bed(make sure to split it into 2 - 1 for each bed)
- put a T for every row of plants, in this case, 10 in total, 5 per side
- attach more feedlines to the T's, run them the length of the beds and firmly attach at the opposing ends
- fill beds with 40% coco, 40% promix and 10% hydroton. make sure its is mixed up thoroughly
- build small rows with the medium so that drippers are elevated a bit. just like in outdoor row gardenss or farms

-make sure to put 1 - 2gph dripper every linar foot (starting at 6 inches away from the bed frame. this applies to the feed lines too)
- plant 1 plant per dripper in your rows - 50 sq/ft = 50 plants per bed, all evenly spaced 1p/sq/ft

- make sure everything gets plants
- give the beds 50%-100% of a full res mixed at 1.2 ec
- veg for 2 weeks, 2 weeks tops
make sure to send water through the feed lines every3rd feeding
- make sure to only feed when beds dry out- overwatering/feeding is this methods nemesis
- flip once your plants are 12-18 inches tall, tops

I second that...Med-Man has shared lots of advice for people. I remember when Med-Man first showed up on the forums......a lot of people flaming him and all. But, everything said he has made a positive contribution to this community for sure.
