Hey all.....After several years (about three years) of not being able to grow, I'm now in a position to start up again. Last time out I was doing organic in soil under a 250w HPS. I also ran a few plants in my greenhouse.
So now I'm settled with a new place to grow, I'll be going down the hydroponic route, last time I did hydro was NFT about fifteen years ago.
The plan is:-
1m x 1m x 2m tent, 600w HPS. I toyed with the idea of LED but after a mooch about HPS is the way to go for me. I've ordered four 20 litre buckets with lids, 80mm mesh pots, clay balls and some peat pellets for a DWC setup. The setup is in a spare bedroom.
I need some input from you guys regarding:-
Tent - which make. I'm leaning towards a Bud Box.
Light - 600w HPS. Which make and reflector would you recommend.
Extraction - I'm thinking a 5" scrubber on a 6" extractor. This needs to be as quiet as possible. Advice on what to get here?
I've ordered a DR60 for a veg/clone and mother tent. I'd really like a 150w metal halide in here but can't seem to find anything suitable, any suggestions?
Any other input people might have on which nutes to go with, air pumps to use etc would be most welcome. I also need to get a ph and EF meter.
Hopefully my seeds are still viable, they've been in the fridge, chilling.
Looking forward to getting going again....
