Hi all,
I've been following post on this site for about three years when I started growing. Judging by my progressively better grows, you folks know your horticulture. Many thanks.
So here is the jist of my setup. I'm a closet/cabinet grow (Closet is 30in wide, 7ft high, and 24in deep with matte white walls) and grow a single plant at a time. I had some issues with heat using MH and HPS, so for light I use a 200 watt CFL 5600k for veg and 2700k for flower (I actually own 2 of each type of bulb). I have always done soil grows in the past using distilled water (I own a water distiller) and miracle grow fertilizers. I can see the horror in your eyes, but I have gotten really good results with miracle grow, I swear. Also I grow from seed (bag seeds), no clones (right now at least). I have a magnifier to monitor trichomes, small fan, timers and surge protectors.
I would like to switch to a hydro setup. I'm looking a WaterFarm DWC It seems simple to operate plus it's expandable. Probably going to double up the bulbs to help get more light to the lower branches.
Does any of this sound like a bad idea? Any recommendations about nutes? Ph tester recommendations? Have I missed or forgotten anything. Any and all information will be much appreciated.
