    I have a 6 pot recycling dwc I just added the h2o2 at 3ml/gallon to the reservoir and let it circulate it will eat up anything bad don't worry about it spreading it worked good for me when I had root rot now I just use it 24 hours before every res change so I don't have to worry about it anymore

    Check this out it has a decent par output and is fairly cheap for a led in think 1 on each side of the light you have would be good http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015FLSOCE/ref=mp_s_a_1_10?qid=1459708212&sr=8-10&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=led+grow+light

    Best of luck to ya I was looking at 250 watt ufo leds I wish I saw them before I got this kind xl100 the ufos are under 100$ a piece and 250 watts is good for each plant. I just bought a par light meter I'm gonna get a ufo led down the road and see if there a good option for when I expand my grow

    Yea just add your water with nutrients in it unlike soil hydro plants get fed with nutrient water 100% of the time and I don't use a chiller because my water reorvoir is not in my tent and outside tent temp is like 68-70 so that's fine for the water I haven't had any problems with it yet I'd run...

    I have a 6 inch inline fan and a phresh carbon filter but you should probably run an 8 inch for the 8x8 I run it constantly when lights are off because when my lights are on my co2 is being pumped into the tent and I don't want to waste it by exhausting it out. You should keep temp comfortable...
