Hey Everyone
I started a grow diary/thread a while back and showed you all of my research, setup, etc. Well I did amazing amounts of research on many stages of growth but the most important thing I overlooked: Germination..
I was also having many ventilation and heat issues due to the heat given off by my big 1000W MH. This has all been fixed (so far) and my setup is running quite smoothly without the plants in it right now.

Grow Setup
gOur setup is in a bedroom around 12 X 12 with a large closet. We are growing in a DR 150 Secret Jardin tent which gives us around a 4.5 X 4.5 floor plan. This tent is 7 feet tall and perfectly sealed.
We are using a Super sun 2 air cooled reflector. It is cooled using a 750 CFM Valueline fan with 6" ducting.
The tent is cooled/vented using a can fan/can filter combo.
These two 6" ducts connect at a Y and then duct into the attic.
The entire house is cooled using a large A/C so this is our primary cooling although temps do reach mid 80's every once in a while because the thermostat is outside of the room.

Nutes
I'll be using the standard Fox Farm line. Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow big. I am just planning on following the directions and doing around 1/4 solution in the beginning and seeing how the plants react. This and my potting soil are my only nutes for the time. I am thinking about getting an EC meter but am not sure if I want to shell out the $130 for the one that I want.
Lamp Choice
Agrosun Gold 1000W MH Universal

I chose this because it's a big enough wattage for my 5 X 5 tent. It's also a great value bulb competing with the Hortilux Blue which is MUCH more expensive.
Expenses + Income?
I'm going top of the line because I know I can get the best value out of the best equipment. I feel that this is a good motto for growing marijuana.
Awesome Book Recomendation!

On Amazon (cheapest and most reliable place for me) I picked it up and have learned a great deal in only a couple days. Although ICmag and other sites will provide you with all the needed necesities and knowledge having a simple, one piece, book is a great way to start. Its good for quick reference or learning the basics. Better than any online post in my opinion.

Please throw me ANY and ALL critiques as they are very helpful to me.
