got a set-up from a friend of mine so here is what ive got
400w HPS w/ hood and ballast
3 5' cups
bag of hydroton
GH micro and bloom
ph test, up and down
4 26w cfls for veg
35w HPS
water pump
rubbermaid box pretty big one
timer
a window a/c unit

ok so heres what im thinking, i want to get 3-5 more cups and cut out holes in the lid of the rubbermaid. then i would just sit the pump in the box and have it drip circulate the plants. im starting from seed and hopefully we'll pick a mother and try my hand w/ cloning. some questions, ones the seeds crack do you just place it in with the clay balls? i was thinking maybe of using a dixie cup w/ some perilite to provide support for the seedling and then put the dixie cup into the bigger cup. is this necessary? what do you guys do? another thing, i was going to rig up some hosing to my window a/c unit and run it up to the light is the a/c filter enough to keep out bugs from the outside? i was thinking of venting out either to join up with my dryer exhaust vent or running another hose to the intake of the a/c unit. i can't imagine the a/c unit would help with smell, but maybe. i have easy access to kitty litter, so i was thinking of making a filter using that stuff, again has anyone any experience with this? if it doesnt work ill have to get a carbon one or something, but thats weeks away. so yeah, this is my first hydro attempt, im looking to go sog, or scrog. i noticed two seeds have already started to crack, so this is day one.
