Folks,

Went to the hardware shop today and picked up everything I think that I need to get a hydro system rollin and would like some advice.

I am planning on starting off with just a couple of plants to get my feet wet.

I picked up the following items

10 gal res
water pump 1" adapter 200 gph
air stone
nutrients
1" tubing 10'

I got some wood slats and made a lattuce to where the pots will fit in and just hang suspended above the res. what I would like to do is run the 1" tubing over each pot and cut a small hole using a hole punch into the tube and insert these irrigation parts I bought that drip 2 gal per hour and run the system 24/7. My medium will be 50/50 ver/per. The pots I am using are about 5.5" wide and about 7" deep with 6 holes drilled in the bottom. I took some knee highs and slipped them over the pot to prevent any of the medium from getting into the res.


I am not sure how much water I need to use to start. Any ideas? I will also be using a 400 MH/HPS conversion light set up.

Thanks in advance for any replies. Please add comments that I could better this system.
