Revamped NFT Method for 36 Basil Plants in a 10x10 Grow Tent

Upgrading basil farming with 11 effective lights, an 18-hour light cycle, and a maintained temperature of 72–74°F for heirloom Genovese basil. Looking for recommendations.

hey creativepainter45, i really dig ur approach with the NFT method and those 11 lights - sounds super innovative! i was wondering how u came to pick an 18-hour light cycle? in my setup i usually go for 12-14 hours and im curious if the extra light actually boosts yields or if there’s a trade off with energy costs. also, have u noticed any changes in plant flavour or growth patterns with that device? i havent tried anything too wild, so this has me thinking if a slight tweak in temperature or even a bump in nutrients might further tweak things - what do u think? would love to hear more about ur reservoir design and if u do any sensor monitoring. cheers and hope to learn more from ya!
