um, why?

cut the top off of a 2 or 3 liter soda bottle. 8 of those would be perfect for a nice Sea of Green (SOG) under your 150w HPS.

peace and good luck, keep us updated.... make a thread yo!

Metal, exposed to fertilizer solution, corrodes and releases metal oxides into your soil. These lock out, or interfere with, your other nutes.
Use PLASTIC pots for your plants.
