White Castle hydroponics on 250w each dual HPS/MH

I have a Dual HID ballast with a 250w MH/HPS in a grow closet.

10 White Castle seeds from nirvana have been ordered, and I can't wait for them to come in. It is a cross between White Widow and Ice. Been preparing for months, trying to get everything just right.



I was originally going to go with soil, but the more and more I look at it, the more I like hydroponics.

So, since I am a DIY kind of person, I decided to build my own system.

I will also be posting the links as to how you can make your setup like mine.

3" Net Pots - http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/botanicare-inch-heavy-duty-net-pot-10count-p-582.html

The pump and pots are on order, and will be here soon.

Here is a picture of the tank when it has it's top on.



Also, sorry for the not super great quality, it was taken with a phone. Future photos with be taken with my DSLR.

The pots will sit in the holes and the roots sprayed with water by 2 sprinkler heads gotten locally. Will post entire plumbing setup when the pump gets in.

Left to get:
Exhaust fan (already have DIY carbon filter)
CO2 regulator
O3 generator
Rockwool
Plant nutrients

I will be starting the seeds with a 2-2" fluorescent bulbs. Hopefully they won't be too cold :/

I'd like to get a small amount of clones before I really get into it, as I don't want to have to purchase seeds again. Once they mature enough to tell the difference, I will do another batch of clones that are female only.

Once I get a few more things setup I will post again. Tune in next time lol.

coolwhip.

seeds are in! Let the growing begin!
