I recommend a soil that has drainage and practically no nutrients in it. If you can find regular topsoil with some perlite or vermiculite added, you're good to go for starting your seedlings. Seedlings should get about 20 hours of light - some prefer leaving the lights on 24/0.

Don't give your seedlings any nutrients for the first couple of weeks of life. Wait until they have about 4-6 nodes, then give a very gentle nutrient application, and watch and see how they react.

Glad to see everyone. Need all the info we can get. Never get to much

working on a new custom grow box!!! Any suggestions on different features it should have for the best results. Thinking of running small pvc lines for water supply, maybe even water misters...

What lighting are you going to run in the box?

Not sure yet im still in the drawing up stages. What would you recomend. I watched a few of your videos on the bubble bucket, so i know you know what your doing.

Well, I have an idea for a vertical T5HO grow, if you want to try it out and give it a shot you're more than welcome to.



Each square ideally would be 1.5x1.5' or so, and you'd have to have the bulbs ideally about 12-15" from the bottom of the box to compensate for pot height. You could use T8 or T12 in this configuration as well.
