Hey, So I'm planning to start indoor growing for about 6 plants. I'm looking for some seeds around my area now.

Here's my setup, please correct my or add-in if i'm wrong.
- I will purchase a RED/BLUE Spectrum 225 LED PANEL (I saw someone had this)
- I found a meter on eBay that has PH+MOISTURE+PPM all in one
- Rockwool for growing after germinating - A timer for my LED panel 18/6
- I read a great CO2 idea that blew my mind cause I could only think techology, that YEAST+SUGAR = CO2, so I was thinking putting that in a 1L Bottle and having tubes feed into my box.

- For growing, I'm getting 6 - 1 Gallon pots, with SCOTTS SOIL, I read they have a neutral PH soil.
- I'm thinking about running Automatic water dripping, I have a water pump from a fish tank, I want that to run water (I'll turn on to fill a jug above my plants) into a bigger jug that holds the water, and then the jug will have tubes running down dripping water the whole day into my plants (Small drops?)

Question: Is RED/BLUE panel correct? Are those the waves that the plants absorb?

And a custom mod question, for ventilation, how long do I want them blowing once my seedlings sprout? How strong?

That's all I can think of for now. I will post a pic of my closet tomorrow, no light is there really, ventilation into another room through ceiling is available.
