I just took a big hammer to my digital camera a couple weeks ago (it had been acting flaky for a while.. kept losing VERY important pictures).. I have another one packed up somewhere that would be good enough for this in my storage unit.. will try and get it in a week or two.

I am aiming at the GH line next time I go into the city near me with an indoor garden center. My ebay quota is getting a little suspicious.. I do have TDS meter and ph kit (saving up for that ph meter that can be used to auto-dose ph.. cuz checking ph BLOWS)..

As far as calmag and B52 I picked Superthrive and Epsom salts.. pretty sure its pretty close to the same effects. I use only 5ppm R.O. water that I get from a good machine outside of the grocery store a couple blocks from my house around 3am in the morning when the store is closed and nobody is there to notice that I am showing up every few days with a dozen milk jugs to refill

The indoor garden shop in my nearest big city for some dumb reason sold me chemicals for a ebb and flow system but all I have are bubblers and drip.. initially the chems fried everything cuz they were way too strong, then I got the dynagro in with the drip system.. I am at 175ppm dyna grow with some two week old babies in the drip system (doing decent) and I upped the bubbler system (homemade 3 & 5 gal bucket style) to 1100ppm with 3/4 ebb and flow chems and 1/4 dyna bloom yesterday.. I have non-MJ plants in that one.. my original "get to know hydroponics" project.. but they really took off in the last 24 hrs.. I had started one seedling in the dynagro drip and it isnt looking too good.. less than half the size of the two smaller ones that I just fed water for the first two weeks.. it was much better just feeding ph balanced water for the first couple of weeks.. and now I know!

Light = 1500 lumens of mostly 6500k cfl's
Vents = 1 intake fan plus 1 50 cfm exaust fan.. for a small cabinet

was toying with CO2 (see thread in "basic growing" about catalitic heaters) but the CO2 meter I ordered was DOA.

Generally, when I find a new hobby, I tend to screw things up worse than anyone in the beginning.. I mean, I invent new ways to screw things up.. but, in not too long, I get the hang of it and start kickin ass.. If the bubbler system plants keep up the grow rate they have had in the last 24hrs I will finally win my first battle with hydroponics!
