ok so ive been growing in soil for a couple grows but im feeling a little nervous goin on to the hydroponic grow. ive decided to use "the bubbler" to grow my plants and it seems easy enough but ive decided to try a new kind of set up. for those of you who have been to stealthhydroponics.com have seen their dual spectrum 65watt flourescent lights. there is a grow and flower bulb, each of them produce 3400 lumens.

the grow room is going to have 2 mothers, 1 of them is white widow(my fav bud by far) and the other is a new one for me ( i acctually have never heard of it) its called Le Fruit Defendu "the forbidden fruit". its gonna have 2 grow lights and 1 flower light, an intake and exhaust fan.

the flower room is gonna have 4 or 5 clones (2 from each of the mothers, and maby an extra WW) there are going to be 2 grow lights and 3 flower lights and an intake and exhaust fan.

i also wanted to change nutrients. ive always used foxfarm... and yes i agree with everyone else they are awesome but i was just wondering if you guys had any advice on a better brand for hydroponic growing.

ok so just a couple questions answered would be greatly appreciated but any advice at all is happily accepted

1) do you think i have a good light supply? (im a college student and cant really afford much, 2 pair of these lights costs the same as the cheapest HPS lamp ive found online)

2) has anyone ever heard of Le Fruit Defendu? i just want to know if its worth my time to try to grow it.

3) also each of the buckets are going to have a 4inch bubble disk for oxygen... do you think this would be enough?

Thanks everyone

I only ever used hps and have been happy with em. The air stone should work fine provided that your air pump produces enough.
