NFT Setup - HELP ME!!!

[mcstonedraider]

Hi,

Just a few questions, i am a complete novice.

Gonna start a grow using NFT.

1. Am gonna buy budget kit from Growell.co.uk, includes 250 w hobby bulb, is this bulb good enough for 2-4 plants?JK
What sort of yield would each plant produce?

2. Gonna grow in a Growell Grow Tent 1m x 1m x 2m, Do you recommend any ventilation products to help with heat distribution?

3. What are the best seeds to start off using NFT?
Where do you recommend i buy genuine female seeds?

4. Anyone got any small NFT setup pictures i could have a look at to get ideas?


Anyway's off to the market now to get some blunt wraps.

i personally don't think nft is the way to go, but I can give you a ballpark to shoot for flowering under a 250hps...I just grew in a 5 gallon bucket/bubbler and yielded 1/4lb dry. goodluck

I don't know about the rest but DRChronics is in the UK. I have ordered from him a couple times. He sells for alot of breeders. Dutch passion has fem seed and a few other on there too.

Cool,

Thanks for your help.

Could do with some more advice into bulb strength.

Am only planning on 2-4 plants at a time, Is a 250 w Bulb Enough Power for this?

get at least 400w...eye hortilux hps
yes you will need an intake and exhaust fan in order to alleviate high temps.

Im having a pretty good grow with NFT. 250w seems a little low mind.

Check my link bellow too see some of my photos.

I've got the smaller NFT tank from growell (Gti205 20L rather than 40L). I sucessfully grew 4 plants under a 400w HPS no problem - those NFT tanks are great, growth rate in incredible.

With the grotank you have you'll easily be able to fit 4 plants in as it's twice the size of mine, maybe even 6-8 in my honest opinion.

But yes, exhaust fan is a must

Hey Bluefunk,

What type oflight do u recommend for germination?

I here some use flourescent and some use hps, What wattage and type do u reccommend?

sorry for slow reply!
i use a 250w mh for seedlings and veg but a fluorescent light will be better than an hps. obviously you dont start the seeds in the nft tank...

Gonna start a grow using NFT
I'm jealous. NFT is one of the best yielders. If the power goes out, your plants die though. NFT is tricky to do properly. Be careful and good luck.

What sort of yield would each plant produce?
This answer is still the same and will never change: Six.

Do you recommend any ventilation products to help with heat distribution?
Only if you would like your plants to live.

What are the best seeds to start off using NFT?
The same seeds you would use for DWC, dirt, floating slabs, and all other kinds of grows: the kind that sprout.

Where do you recommend i buy genuine female seeds?
Kind Seeds. Descreet, fast, credit cards, friendly, good selection, gauranteed delivery. Only ordered once from anywhere, but spent a lot of time researching a good place. Very satisfied.
