Looks like a good sytem. I run a small 6 plant drip. I have 2 now. Drip is the way to go I think you will have fun growing hydro. Your shure it will fit ? with a 400 in a tent you can hope for 28 to 60 grams per plant. Remember keep them small so the light gets to all part of the plants. You want to start flowering 12/12 at 5 sets of leaves or about 12 inches. BB x NL should be good. Sounds like your doing the home work, that's good. Yes soil is easy but wait till you pull in a good harvest of hydro. It seems to grow right in front of you sometimes. You will also need a PH meter and an EC, tds, meter. You might get that in your budget. Have you picked nutrients yet ? General hydroponics seems to be the most used or I hear dutch masters is good too. Good luck. Let us know what happens. Anymore ? I'm shure you will get a few opions, take the best and run with it. Remember once you go hydro you never go back.LOL
LOC NAR1958 Reviewed by LOC NAR1958 on . hydro setup right, I've never grown Hydro before but want to try it out after my next grow (due to shortage of money). I've been looking for a good setup for my 400 watt MH/HPS light and my 1m squared grow tent. I was looking at this http://www.aquaculture-hydroponics.co.uk/product.aspx?categoryID=7&subCategoryID=76&productID=1279 It says that it is 1m squared so that should be perfect. I would grow the plants to about 10 inches and induce flowering. I will keep a mother plant seperately growing in soil, Rating: 5
