Howdy all,

My buddy is new to indoor gardening and this is his first attempt at hydroponics. The Brick around town is beginning to get on our nerves and we figured growing our own would remedy that. Budget is tight, so everything is non-prefabricated except for the lighting fixture.

Frame is all 1x4 pine $30
Tubs are both rubbermaid I believe. $20
Reservoir is "plastic tub" from Lowes 30 Gal $15
PVC and nozzles from Ace $10
6 tube 4' T5 fixture $248

Pumps hydroton filter and tubing and fittings $50

Eventually the T5 lights will be supplemented during flowering with 4 more tubes of warm white, 2 tubes draped along each side of plants.

Seeds are bagseed and have been soaking for almost 36 hours, starting to crack and show some legs.


Picture 1 is complete setup... Notice nozzles within tubs, (tubs will be blacked out)
Picture 2 is Hydroton soaking in ph5.6 water trying to leach out the high PH.... Do I need to cover my res during my grow???
Picture 3 are the tubes of light...
