actually i had posted about 2 days ago but that post got abducted i guess.. so ill sum what i wrote " im going hydro ".

ok now ....... i bought most of the things, still need aquarium silicone and a drill.. the silicone ill buy but the drill my friend is bringing his over this saturday.. so the contruction will halt till then. other then that i have everything.

i have a long tray, a tank for the water; the pump couldnt pump the water up so i put a small table in there and have the thing higher then the tray so now it pumps easily... but where will water go after filling the tray you say... yea thats was a problem.. but i came up with a solution.. since theres no space left in the tent and even if there were it would be uncomfortable and i would spill break drop and break lights, the tray.. and other things, i though i could drill a hole under the tray and plug one end of the tube just like a normal drain but then cut out a hole in the tent and have the tube pouring out into a disposal bucket outside the tent. this way i dont even have to touch the tent i just take the disposed water pour it back into the tank and let it back to its place

so i have those and i bought an air pump, an air stone? something like that.. it makes bubbles in the water, a liquid pump (duh), and i found out what rockwool was in martial.. so i went to the store and asked for it and they had it tucked away in a dirty corner with lice and worms.. nah i finally got rockwool!

clay balls, lava balls, vermiculite, perlite.. wasnt able to find any..
but i got styrofoam ... a big fat huge slab of styrofoam ill grind into little balls and let them sit on the tray.. theyll float and fall off u say.. but the trays gna be closed so they wont fall out

that sure wont do no.. but itll have to until i get my hands on something that will. my friend found this interesting thing at some market. its like a little bag filled with balls, you throw them in the water and they get big and you can use them as soilless medium. seems pretty cool. ill get those when i meet up with him and he tells me where to get them .

seeds are such a problem i cant get them. im trying to convince people who can to get them but there not cooperating. i found this new weed and it was pretty good and its not related to the other weed so im germinating some seeds.. i dont care about how great it is i just want it to be a proper plant, like on the first grow.

so the system is ebb and flow hydro, the lights ill be adding 3 more so a total of.. 12 lights for 4 plants. ill have .. dono 4-8 plants in veg but only keep max of 4 females. more doesnt make it better.. i prefer growing less but of better quality. the hydro system is great because you just have to check it every day to see its giving water then do nothing else.. it does everything.. oh and put water from bucket a back to bucket b.. thats it

i have automated timers on the lights and on the pumps.
the bubble pump will be running for 3 hours before the water pump goes off then rest, then again before each feeding. the water pump will run for 15 minutes ( its the lowest on the basic plastic timer ) 2-3 times a day im not sure which one yet ( could someone suggest 2 or 3? ).
there is no problems because the pump has 3 settings ( low, medium, max) and ill see which setting clears 10 litres of water in exactly 15 minutes and let that one run, because if the pump is too slow it wont get enough water through, if its too fast then the water will be gone and itll be running without water ( its a submersible fan and they heat up if this happens).

i havent even started hydro but im very exited about it. i can see why so many people prefer this, its so much easier. i hate dealing with the soil of the other grow.. each time i do something to the plants theres soil all over the room and i have to come with the vacuum and clean it.. i still like soil but maybe for outdoors when i have my own house and im not in a 6x3 room .. yes my room is very small

in the 2nd soil grow i was unfortunate because of the seeds. and because of that i just gave in all hope and didnt care and let them all die. im positive this will work wonders, but will these new seeds? .. well we will find out pretty soon!
im going to continue my hydro grow on this thread!
the room will be done and the seeds will have germinated.

i wont be posting much because im afraid they are starting to read things that people post in the internet.. there monitoring what everyone does. so ill be posting smaller comments and just posting some pics most times..

peace to all:jointsmile:
