Some of you may have seen my last grow log. It didn't go too well. Main problems were 90+ degree temperatures(even at night sometimes), and lack of a pH tester for the first couple of weeks.

Some plants survived and are doing great now. Have a 40" bush and a slightly smaller plant flowering atm. Things are looking great. Few of my newer plants are around 12-14"s now. These will hopefully become my mothers. They will be kept in dirt but I'm converting to hydro. Purchased two 4' by 4' ebb and flow systems, one for my veg and one for my flowering room.

Plan to grow in 6" rockwool cubes in my veg room. I've considered switching to containerized with hydroton, but I'm worried they'll become potbound before they finish. Have an EZ clone I'll be using for cloning, and then am going to cut the rockwool cube open and "transplant" the rooted clone into it. Advantage of containerized would be less root stress as I could just float the hydroton and insert the clones. Any advice on which of these would be best is welcome. Lighting will be some 4 bulb 4' t5s.

When they are ready to flower(around 8-10" or so or when the roots start to grow out of the rockwool cubes too much) I'll be moving them to my flowering table, which will be a bed of hydroton. 4' by 4' table in a 5' by 5' tent. 2 600w hps with ac hoods over the table each with there own 360ish cfm fan. Have some goblin carbon filters ready also for smell control.

Using the advanced nutrient line of nutes. Going to follow the lucas formula for now. R0 water will be used(with calmag of course).

For heat control I've added a 6000btu air conditioner. Keeps the room nice and cool even with the hoods vented back into the room. Don't have a temperature controller yet, but plan to pick one up asap.

Was thinking about using CO2. Its a totally closed system. What would be the best co2 setup to use in a room like this? Dont know much about co2 at all. Probably wont worry about this till I get everything dialed in, but something to look into later down the line.

Any advice/questions/comments welcome. Plan to run into some problems as this is my first hydro grow, but would of course like to minimize this as much as possible.

Thanks to everyone who have helped me in other posts/my other log already. Really appreciate it.
