Thanks for the reply. I love it when people get involved. I am really trying to get as much info as I can. I have wasted alot of money trying to get this going. Like for instance I bought 5 - 40 watt flourescents ( around $45.00) and then said screw it and bought a 400 watt HPS/ML (Converter bulbs). I wonder if I could use the Flor's for keeping a mother alive or maybe I could use them for supplemental/extra light with the Metal Halide Run them vertically down the side of the wall and keep the plants 1-2 inches close to the wall. Would that confuse the plant?

I bought 5 gallon buckets (Only a $1.00 apiece at Sprawl-Mart), now I am thinking for Northern Lights Maybe at 18-24 inches, I really needed only 3 gallon. I dont want to waste 2 gallon of growing material. I guess I could only fill them up to only 3 gallon (What do you think?), that would leave a slight space. Or better yet I can add 2-3 inches of draining material at the bottom and still only use 3 gallons of soil. I dont want to water/nute for 5 gallon when I only need 3.

Thanks for the reply, 6 months from now I will be able to help someone else out



I dinked around with Aluminum foil. BIG MISTAKE. The shit got all crinkly and was ripping and was just a hassle trying to hang up on the wall (
