Temps and Humidity In Deep Water Culture

Temperatures, Humidity The temperature is the hardest factor to take control of to me. When confined to a small space, ballasts and HID lights can push temperatures sky-high in no time flat. That is why I use CFLS, to avoid venting heat. This is especially true during hot summer months when...

Hardly anyone has a problem with too cool of water, and almost all of us have the problem of too hot water.

I do suggest you start small, for your first grow. But read, and study. Determine your budget.
When I first started, I looked at DWC, Ebb and Flow, Hempy Bucket, Deep Water Culture, Drip, and found a grower who's system I liked, and I copied his.
In my tutorial, I show a DRIP, Ebb and Flow, DWC, etc, with diagrams, look at them and decide which one you like.
If you want me to make a list, a parts list, for a very simple easy SMALL grow, on either DWC for a clone or a Bubbleponcis from seeds, I'll help you.

listen to rose he wont steer you wrong. get your room set up and operational befor you decide to grow, find out what your temps are gunna be and how your gunna run your ventilation. better to resolve these problems first befor you have the plants in there. then germ your seeds id say do 4 of them for your first grow in the 6 site bubble system. once they have a nice half inch to inch long tap root put them in some rockwool cubes or some rapid rooter plugs and put them in your bubble system with plain phed water untill you get a few nodes and the plant is ready for nutes.

You never know what problems you will have on your first grow. There will be plenty.... Believe me. Start small. Get rid of the water heater....unless you live on the North Pole!! I had to buy a water cooler and I live in an air conditioned home. This is the best place in my opinion to get the information about growing you will ever need!!!
