2nd time round, lil help needed with my setup!!

Hi Blizma, I'm not sure of your situation exactly, but if you go too Wickes, look around for welded chains, you can buy them in metres and in larger sizes, basically you can improvise which most people do, what I would do is have a strong chain across the top of the space, make sure its sturdy, look around for some s-hooks, buy some Ezi-Roll light hangers, http://www.growell.co.uk/p/1520/Ezi_...t_Hangers.html, they work like a charm, hang the hangers from the chain using S hooks. Growell are pretty much the best UK based store for hydrophonics and anything plant related, they also sell all the advanced nutes from the US, and their prices are lower than all the other UK shops. They also sell soil. If your not keen on buying soil from them or ordering it over the net, try going too Homebase, B@Q and look around for some top soil, it has practically no nutrients in it but also needs too be mixed with perlite or vermiculite for drainage. Personally I would buy a soil with nutrients, forget MG, John Innes do a No.1,2,3, 1 contaning the least amount of nutrients for seedlings and 3 containing the most, for mature plants. There are many ways to go.

Thanks very much MegaOctane12.
About the soil, i have read, you can fill up a pot with 2 different soils. the top layer, thin, no nutrients. ad the rest, at the bottom, a soil with nutrients..
From this i understnd, germination is good, and when it is in good veg and hits the nutrients.

I think i shall use this method for the soil.

MegaOctane12 , the chain is a good idea, but not a good idea for me because im using cfl's.
For the lights, i bought light clips, where the bulbs go into the clip, then to the mains, and i can clip them anway. These where £1 each..
I bought these only to test.
But i need something better, like a stand, or, a platform where all the bulbs go into which i can then drill onto the wall... Any ideas for this would help.

As far as soil concerned, is it a good idea to buy oxygenated small stones to mix into the soil?


thanks again!!

So...
