NEEDHELP !

I'm new to growing and started out with a grow tent and 3 DWC Bubble Boy Buckets with grow cube and clay pallets. My nutrients are Advanced Nutrients Sensi-Gro A&B, Voodo Juice, and B-52. Being new to this i have some questions.

1. Seedlings are a week old need to know what light schedule would be best?

2. How many times a day should pump be set for feeding and how much time for each time it comes on? Such as 3x day for 20 min?

3. What is the best temp for a grow tent?

Any input anybody could give me would be great and appreciated.

Thanks

I know that 24hrs is the best right up untilled you start budding.
And unless your running CO2, 75*f is ideal.... remember to do the hand test, cause they like the same environment we do. Can't help with the D.W.C. as I'm a soil man.

Well I didnt know what a Bubble Boy Bucket was so I googled it and low and behold it the same as any old DWC bucket I have ever seen. So now I go back and read the question you asked about feeding (because I was really confused) and something tells me that there are some misunderstandings going on here.
Please dont take it wrong or be offended by what I say because sometimes it just doesnt come out right.
DWC = Deep Water Culture
There are no feeding times or pump to set to feed them. Water goes in bucket with nutes mixed in. air stone hooked to air line hooked to air pump goes in water (remember to always soak your airstone for an hour b4 hitting air to it) and air pump runs 24/7. When the plant is large enough, you said 1 week old seedling so they to young, "plant" the plant into bucket basket with Hydrotron (please soak Tron in PH adlusted water untill PH doesn't drift). Pour in enough water into bucket to reach bottom of basket. You will either have to hand water or set up a drip line (not included) to water plants until roots hit water. The roots will live in the water. Air pump MUST run 24/7 or plant will drown. week old should be under 24/7 light and really nothing bigger than a few 23w (= 100w) cfl's. anymore than that like an HPS light and you will smoke your plant before it even grows. Seedling should be on plain water until the 4th set of true leaves grows then add nutes but a little at a time like 1/4 or 1/2 strength for a week or so.
I really encourage you to do allot of reading that way you wont get discouraged or be wasting money. we do also have a section dedicated to just Hydroponics where answers might come a lil easier. Happy Growing :)

youre going to killem with all of your lineup. go real easy on that and build up as you go, and even then pay close attention. foliar feed for now and keep your roots moist, then ease into your program. temps in the 65-80 range, 70-75 being ideal with lots of ventilation. your air pump should run constantly, your water temps should be a certain temp( i forget what that is as hydro for me has been out for a while) honestly though you shouldnt be asking these questions at this point in time.

water temp is ideal at 68 degrees and PH between 5.5-6.5 with 5.8 being ideal. Actually should have read all this by now :(

Thanks for input. Im new to this so i just want to make sure. Once nutrients are added to bucket i wasnt sure if pump runs 24/7 i know it bubbles but wasnt sure how often. I just have one seedling that is about 3 weeks old. Lights on 24/7, Room 75degrees, PH 5.8. Also this tent is for vegatative grow only. I only plan to keep mothers or clones in here. Any help any one can give with using Sensi-Gro. I havent added any nutes yet. Seedling was from a stash and took off before i really was prepared. New seeds dont come in for a few weeks so thought i could trial and error. Thanks in advance for any info would be great.

what are you using for lights and a pic or 2 would do wonders

Attachment 282359Attachment 282360Attachment 282361Attachment 282362Attachment 282363So far i see a little discoloration, burn tips. Not sure if its a lack of nutes or to much. Any help would be great.
