Hi all, Starting my very first hydro and will be posting progress and pics. I am sure I will have plenty of questions as it goes along and I welcome all constructive posts good or bad.
The setup:
12 x 8 room with 6' 6" ceilings (storage room in the basement)
1 400w MH
1 600w HPS (both light setups $275.00 total w / bulbs)
4 output 180 gallon aquarium pump (only 2 in use atm, and a backup pump new in box(tested) just in case) $24.99 x2 (1 is a backup, not in use)
co2 setup for use during flowering (Tank, timer and tubes: $159.99)(refills $13.00 every 75-90 days when growing all indoor soil)
2 fans and 1 exhaust fan (exhaust fan is a rigged gas stove vent fan on a timer and 4inch flex pipe, actually works great !!) $50.00
Buckets, lids, tubing and stones (8 stones, I keep a backup for everything.) $45.00
Total setup cost : approx $580.00 (just medicated might have screwed up on calculator... lol)
Room runs 76f - 78f and 45-50% humidity when everything is fired up. 70f - 72f and same humidity when dark.
atm it is a 4 bucket (5 gallons ea) bubbler with 2 Bubba Kush (Indica) and 2 Lambsbread (think this is the xbreed Sativa dominant, never grew this before. Clones a gift from a friend.)
Going to add 2 buckets every 3 weeks till I have 8 total in flowering area. I grow clones in a different room and grow for myself and my wife , both MMJ patients.
I also have 2 old, old stripped mothers in soil in the area that I am going to flower out and get rid of. Durban Poison and Sour D and lastly my very favorite for any time of day my very last soil Jack H clone. So 7 plants total to start with.. the soil goes away after harvest.
I have grown outdoors for awhile with no issues but indoor soil has been eye opening, hoping a cheap hydro does better.
Looking forward to posting some pics this weekend and asking many many questions as the grow moves forward.
Thank you again for any input and good luck to all.
