ok... well install the smaller of the two lights for now... and in about a month we will get you to turn the other one on too. You need some strong light in there now though or your new seedlings are going to get very leggy looking for the light. Get the lights up about 18" or so above the plants and put your hand in there at plant level. If it feels too hot to you, it will also feel too hot to the plants... and then back your light off a bit.

I am about to move to hydro myself, so no time like the present for me to learn too. I will look into your setup and see what advice I can give, but keep in mind that I am just as new as you when it comes to running the hydro. Maybe we can get an expert in here to comment.

Normally I don't involve myself in newbie grows around here... I am much to busy on the other forum that I run. I hear your words clearly however and understand your need and situation. I will help as much as I can. Hopefully others hear your call also... this is a good community, it is just that many of the best have lost hope in c.com after its reincarnation about a year ago. Hang in there... I am searching for someone to help and have the perfect person in mind.
