Hey everyone! im new to the site been reading through a few forums on here for the past couple weeks before I decided to finally post something. I have been slowly but surely collect parts to my grow set up.

last week i purchased two old shop lights that came out of an old catholic school. the guy sold them to me for only $20 a piece. they are holophane hids that use mercury vapor bulbs. after doing some research I have found that my ballast will support hps and metal halide. i plan to veg and clone under t5 or t8 fluro's. I currently work at a job that requires me to be gone from home a week at a time. However I cannot afford to pay for medicine from a dispensary all the time so i would like to know of some good idea's for water the plants while im away from home. i am going to frame in a room inside my garage to house the grow op. as far as nutrients im pretty sure I would like to run advanced nutrients because of some private studies done on the net by growers. another question i have is how easy would it be to make a hydroponic set up instead of buying a pre-fab one? Also what type of grow medium should I use. the dispensaries around here have stated that they will only buy from a source who uses organics, so it would be my desire to grow as close to organic as possible. I told the dispensary owner i would be using clay pellets for my grow medium and he frowned, said they would only by if its been grown in a organic medium. I am a new grower and this is my first time so any shop talk, ideas, advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Branba
