this is my first time so if i'm screwing something up or you notice someting can be improved let me know. thanks

my grow space is about 5'x3.5'x7' and gets morning sun but is shaded in afternoon/evening heat.

lighting:
1000w HPS w/ air-cooled reflector
4x 23w cfl 6500K for veg
will be using uvb for flowering
i'm running my lights 20hrs on 4 off so i can use my dryer in the afternoons

cooling:
440cfm 6" inline fan, 6" ducts
12,000btu window-mount air conditioner
the temp is easy to control when the light is off but with the hps going the temp fluctuates - thigs get hot, the a/c kics on, things cool off. it stays between 72-80 with the light on, 66-68 with the light off

DWC setup:
60gal rated aquarium pump w/ 2 48" bubblers
10gal res feeding float valves in 2 10gal totes
5" net pots of hydroton, 6 in each tote

flood & drain setup:
igloo ice chest w/ lid removed
hydroton medium & 5gal bucket for solution

i also have two 2liter CO2 bubblers of yeast and sugar solution. when one's output drops off i'll have the other ready to go.

i put a humidifier in the room because my humidity stays at 20% when the lights on and the a/c is going, 50% in the dark. i need to find a better solution though because its not doing the job.

i've got 12 grape clones in the dwc setup. the ice chest has four bubblegum clones, one purple erkle and one hindu skunk.

today is day four and i figured i might get more comments and/or advice starting a journal

sorry for the novel, its a habit...
