You need to tell us or show us more about the system. A link to go look at it. Or an addy. Some one can probably make it cheaper. Light is what is most important.

They say on that page you need to get a timer for the water cycle. That setup looks very interesting. About 15 minutes every 2 to 4 hours of water. Any that don't have a plant just drips by itself.

Get a good light. The bigger the light the bigger the BUD.

and do you me intresting in a bad way or a good ways?
wouid this lighting do for the 16 pot set up i have asked about
http://www.growell.co.uk/p/5658/Diam...t-Systems.html
(1 light with the 600watt buld )

with 16 I would go with 2 of the 400 watt. Kind of spreads the light out more and those diamonds, I have never seen, the others are just as good.

Interesting in a good way. I would like to see it up close so I could maybe copy it in some way. I don't have the space so I would have to modd it.

Get the bluelab CF meter it will last and the hobby PH meter some calibration fluid for the PH meter. At least a litre of PH up and down. I would suggest General Hydroponics Flora 3 part. A litre of each to start. What I do not see is cal-mag plus. You need it or something like it if you use R/O or distilled water or poor water.

for my groing room i was going to use 4 125watts of these http://www.growell.co.uk/p/1587/Eco-...amps-CFL-.html (the blue ones)

i was going to rig them up for there to be 1 lamp to 4 plants
the lights will be suspended buy using a peice o hard bored with a mylar side on it. with 4 holes for my lamps what do you think?

Yes those lights would be good for veg growing but you may need 8 insted. You need alot of CLF.
However they are real good for seedlings and clones but once past that stage in hydro I can get twice as much veg growth with a 400 MH. Then on to flower under a 1000 HPS.

The board sounds good but not nessesary. You need good air circulating more than the light That would reflect.

i dont think i can aford 8 cfl lamps at the min i was thinking use the 4 for now and then update my system later buy adding anothe 2 lamps every time i havest.

im living in an apartment block at the min on th 8th floor so i wanted to try and keep smells and heat to a min would a 600watt or 2 400wat lamps give off a big heat signal? my plants will be in a room cover my room in black an white stuff and mylar inside.

and what could i use to get rid of smells comletly for 16 plants?
