Alright, I'm getting very serious about growing now.

I just purchased a hydrofarm 600w hps with a huge air cooled hood, along with a hydrofarm ebb and flow hydroponics setup. As far as i can tell it's only missing the top piece where the net pots fit into. I plan on making a few tote lids fit on top so i can place net pots in them. I still don't completely understand the setup, it has a submersible water pump but i don't know if I need a timer for it or not.

The cool thing is, I placed a 6in inline HD fan in a 6-4in reducer and stuck it on the air cooled hood. It's enough flow to keep temps down to 77.9deg during the middle of the day and thats venting into the grow room, I plan on purchasing a ph/ec tester and a centrifugal blower along with ph up and down to complete my system. I already have the nutrients, hydroton, and ebb+flow kit, net pots should just about complete the system. It also has a air pump and air stones.

I'm itching to put the lights on 12/12 and I know i could still take clones 3wks into flower. I plan on ordering some good strains so any recommendations would be great! Do you think a 250w MH can veg 4-6 plants? Will the 600 be too much for 3-4 ladies? I might just buy a 600w conversion mh bulb if the 250 won't cut it.

PIC'S will be up later today! the runt has outgrown the bushy plant
4x4Turbo Reviewed by 4x4Turbo on . Second attempt-First grow log So I'm just now getting serious about growing. Here's my two plants, their both 3wks old. Mistake #1. Used 10k aquarium MH 250watt for week1. Mistake #2. feeding them only micro nutrients for two 1/2weeks. Mistake #3. 24/7 light Forgot to mention that the temps went over 100deg for a prolonged period of time while i was running the 250wat MH with no ventilation. I believe thats what stunted the smaller plant so badly. Rating: 5
