help starting grow room in basement

Thanks I will see what I can do but 1 more question for a hydroponic bucket what size pump should I use. Thanks for your help

I don't know much about hydro as I'm a soil gardener. So I'm afraid I can't really help there. ;)

definitely CFL's or LED's for light, they are cheap and low heat and work decent enough for growing..

:wtf:

Ok,... I see the CFL's being cheap,... but good LED's aren't. I've got one that can do about 1/2 the foot print of the 400w, cost me 2x as much as the 400.

There's no heat with LED and quality is improved over HPS for budding, but yield is reduced slightly as well.

a long with the lights.soil and pots you need good ventilation very important
