Hi firstly if i have posted in the wrong section i apologize.I have been reading so many different growing books full of tips and ideas.I am now looking to grow my own but have found that i have read so many different techniques i dont no where to start.I am planning to use a bubbler which i understand how it works but i am now looking for good advice.I have bought 3 different kinds of lighting all brand new from here and there and do not no what is the best as i only want to grow 2 plants to begin with and take it from there.
The lights i have bought are a 600hps one of the new led panels blue and red not sure of power and i also bought one of the 125w ENVIROLITE/ENVIROLIGHT 6400K(BLUE/VEG) GROW LIGHT.
Can anyone recommend the best one as i would think the 600hps but with only doing 2 plants i could be wasting uneeded light and electricity.

Also i understand about the ph and cf etc and have purchased some basic nutrients a and b but not sure if i need any other nutes etc so if one of you proffesionals out there can help me with what light and all the nutrients i will need or guide to me to good site to buy these items it would be very much appreciated.Cheers

it would be best to have multiple rooms
600hps for a flower room
the 125 or the led or both for the veg room
and you only need around 10-15 watts to clone with
good luck and keep on reading

Just my two cents, but if I were you I would first do a few 'crops' in soil. Then if you want to move to hydro, do it.
This allows you a huge amount of leeway to study how a plant grows, it's cycles, what it is supposed to look like, etc. in a relativity forgiving environment.
Then move to hydro where there is very little leeway for error and is more precise. From your experience with the soiled plants you will be able to tell right away if something isn't right and can make the correction before it is too late.

As for the light and two plants...
Indicas have a tendency to be shorter and so the light can reach the branches better. For two plants, I would just use a 250 to 400 watt.
I would step it up if I was growing tall plants like Sativas. For two plants I would most likely use a 300 to 400.

If you think you will step up the amount of your crop, then get the more powerful one so you don't have to buy another light and more bulbs which are very, very expensive.

Personal experience as I said. Take for what it is worth. Good luck.
