4 Gallons in reservoir (thinking of making it 5)
Timer
Digital thermometer/hydrometer
Rockwool cubes
General Hydroponics Ebb N Flow
switchable ballast
pH tester + pH UP and DOWN

Micro 5-0-2

Cardboard box w/ heating pad inside for germing
4 inch fan I had laying around (I'll upgrade that later on)

Popping my green thumb cherry here. I think I may have already went wrong with trying to grow three different strains at once. Any input on that? I'm going to have the light on a timer. Should the water pump and fan be on a timer too or just running 24/0? If so does it have to be on the same time schedule as the light? I'm germing 1 DNA Lemon Skunk fem seed, 1 Barney's Farm Vanilla Kush fem seed and 2 Big Bud reg seeds that came free with my order. I keep thinking the Big Buds will turn up male and I won't get them out in time and end up ruining the whole crop (and wasting what I paid for those fem seeds). However this is my first and I want the hands-on experience/knowledge of sexing plants. My options for picture quality are my 2mp camera on my phone or my 4mp very old (like one of the first and it's from walgreens) digital camera so please bare with me on that end. ALL INPUT IS APPRECIATED. THANKS.

p.s. well looks like I need to go back and read on how to upload photos so pics coming soon.
