LIGHTING
For lighting we are using a Sunlight Supply 400W MH mini plant grow light from Buy 400W Econogro Mini Plant Grow Light System Here!
We also purchased a 400W conversion bulb to emulate the blue light spectrum required for vegetative growth. There is a 4" outlet hookup for active extraction of heat using a squirrel cage style fan. This enables us (and the plants) to literally touch the glass underneath if we were so inclined. The fan was $100 and is rated at 256cfm - more than enough for adequate light venting.

Total: $293 shipped.

GRAND TOTAL FOR ALL PARTS AND SUPPLIES: $604.57 - Sounds pricey, but split right down the middle between two people and construction spread out over the span of three months made it possible.

How to build and maintain your own custom bubbler DWC grow INTRODUCTION Hi all, I've been a member of the forums for a while now and I'm ready to contribute something hopefully many new growers can benefit from. This is technically my 3rd grow. The first was soil and failed miserably and the next was an ebb and flow hydro system. After much research, myself and my grow partner have decided to abandon the ebb and flow and go for higher yields while staying with hydroponics. The ebb and flow managed to yield 6 oz from three plants (strain ICE 2000) Rating: 5
