Hey guys and gals,

I'm new here even though I have been perusing some excellent information here from experts for a short bit. I had a simple grow that turned out horrible per my standards so I invested in a bit more new equipment in order to learn how to do it myself.

150W HPS Sun Systems
6 2700k 900 lumens cfl /optional
6 6500k 1600 lumens cfl /optional
24x32x64 GenevaBarns Tent
6" 250 cfm inline exhaust fan
6" duct
6"x24" Carbon Filter
I'm using a Honeywell AirFilter in the tent for additional air. It pushes more air than most small fans and traps errant cat hairs. :)

I will be using 7 gallon pots with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil
I have General Hydroponics full suite of nutes and their PH test kit.

I'm hitting the dispensaries downtown to look for some good strains of clones tomorrow. I live in Denver so choice is pretty vast. I am partial to an easy grow sativa.

I've ran the lights today to try to gauge any heating issues and it is sitting at 86 F so I figure I am good there as long as it doesn't climb higher.

Photos coming.

I had a couple gallons of tap water aerating for the last two days and the ph is now 6.2 to 6.5.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to add the cfls without jury rigging it too bad. I grew in the early 80's outdoors but that was a different world than this and it is all really new to me. I'm digging getting into it, but still so apprehensive due to being an indoor noob.

I'm heading out to grab some clones, soil, and pots at the hydro store and dispensary in a couple hours. I'll post pics after I have everything adjusted and the plants in the tent.
