I got my entire set up today from the local Hydroponics store. They've been super friendly in helping me get everything I need. Going to build my Ebb and Flow system ASAP in the AM.

I'm working with the following:
1 - Ebb and Flow Kit
1 - 2x4 Plastic Grow Tray
2 - 27 galloon rez's, one for storage.
1 - 125w 6500k Cool Spectrum CFL for Veg Obvs.
1 - Sunsystem Bright Wing Reflector
1 - Eco Air 2 Air Pump Double Nozzle
1 - 185 GPH Water Pump

Grodan Rock Wool both 2" for seeds and clones
General Hydroponics Nutrients

I bought everything for about... 300 bucks.

I've got regular seedbag right now in the Germbox I made but I've got the following seeds on the way.

10 - Jedi Landrace Swazi
10 - Tiki Shanti Devi
10 - Tiki Bella Ciao

Also including an Alaskan Kush bud I'm sitting on.

Can't wait to get everything rolling.

Well I'm going to use the 150w CFL for Veg then use a 400 or 600 hps for flowering. Trying to debate right now which I want to buy....

I found a 400w HPS System Enclosed Ballast for 150.

check that out and let me know what you recommend. I'm planning on doing 6-8 plants if everything goes correctly.

Found this 600w system on Ebay too for 200 bucks. Comes with a Digital Ballast so I could switch from MH and HPS. Then I could use my 150w CFL for clones and seeds. Not a bad thought...........

you can veg with cfl and hps dont need to be metal halide.... and btw they make combo bulbs MH and HPS in one bulb and one ballast

I like it but I think that only works in 1000w systems. I like the idea of having both hps and mh in one bulb though. Thanks for the link.

no problem... with a light mover in the room you can seriously almost triple your space. One 1000 watt HPS is alot more than your gonna need unless your doing like 30 or more plants... Whatever you choose to do good luck with it
