I’m mocking up my small NFT system and can’t decide which hole spacing to go with. My channels are 40 inches long, with 8 inch holes on center. If I do linear spaced channels I will comfortably have 4 inches on each end, if I use alternating hole spacing I’ll have 2 inches on some feed and drain ends. Will ~2 inches be enough space for feed lines and drain holes? The alternating spaced channels shave off about ~5 inches of width on the whole table.
I have 2 Viparspectra p1000’s I’ll be using which each cover a ~2×2 ft. area so trying to keep everything as condensed as I can. I will only be growing quick growing leafy greens like lettuce.

Alternating is almost certainly better.
As a Canadian, I’m beside myself how hard it is to find nft channels in the hydroponics stores (the few that remain)
Everybody just sells stuff for 4 plants now- leafy greens need not apply
