Can i use the fox farm trio for my DWC?

feminized seeds can still go hermie especially under stress...u still wanna keep a close eye on them because females can stil throw a male flower or to since it feels like its life is coming to an end and want to try to create offspring to save itself. Mine were bagseed so i cant say for sure ull have this issue with feminized seeds.

Also here are some pics of my grow room. The floor is cold as fuck since i live in the basement. Its a 5x7x7 ft room mylar lined with two 1000w apallo HPS ballasts. I was gonna go with soil for my first grow but i decided DWC is faster and easier once you ge the hang of it. When you tod me about the draining i went and took some pictures of this drain in my basement. Its amazing dont you think? i have never put any water down it at all but i wonder if it is connected to the main drain and i can just open the drain and let it pour! Also how big were your pumps? My pump is rated for 150 gallons which i feel is way more than enough since i only have around 30.

my pumps were just the little shitty one from the pet/fish tank section of walmart... ultimatley as long as all the area where roots are is getting Air bubbles to them ur good... luck u for the drain i didnt have any in there... how are u gonna be cooling down those 1000s? u getting ac hoods or what ? whats ur exhaust and intake plans? i started with dwc and switched to soil and i love it 4 weeks into flower on friday on my oldest and have been pretty much stress free ... went with a soil brand that is ph buffering so i never have to fuck with ph again i hated it that bad lmao ....

I turned on my lights at 70% (600w) and left them on for an hour to see the kind of heat that im dealing with and when i came back it was 102 degrees inside. I ordered this fan http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005XNNYMU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 with a speed controller. It will be able to suck more than enough air out i think. I am also going to be adding two more fans once i get some more $$ to improve circulation and improve stem strength. Also since i live in the basement, the whole grow room floor is very cold. If It is still too hot in there then i dont know what ill do. I realized today that i needed fans more than anything. I have to beat the heat. I also got a bunch of PH up and Down today from amazon.

mine is in the basement as well however that is also where my furnace is .... for intake make a square hole i dont know what size is best but here is my setup specs.... 4x4x6 diy room created of 2x4 boards and drywall (FLAT WHITE PAINT), 1-1000w apollo hps like yours , 240w of cfl lighting to kill shadows and hit the top of the plants in back of my room. 1-8inch 500cfm duct fan for exhaust 1 -6inch 90 cfm duct fan also for exhuast next to that (both at the top of my sidewall , 1-6inch 90 cfm duct fan for intake at the bottom of my back wall ,on the other side of that back wall i cut a 12inx12in sqaure hole and put a window screen over it (to keep out pests )that is my passive intake .... i also have a 12inch desk fan that blows between my plants and hps towards the exhaust fans... now ur problem unless ur room is in a seperate qaurters from ur living area is gonna be light proofing as the cannot have any light leaks during flowering ... so start prepping for that

Yea there are no light leaks at all. I think the room used to be a pantry but now its my grow room haha. If this grow goes good im gonna be making two more totes for even more production. I want to get around 2 pounds every 75 days.

also this is the pump i bought.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JLJC0W?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s02
I think it should be enough for around 30 gallons in my opinion. (Probably more than enough) I also bought 2 4" cylindrical stones for each tote. I will buy more if i think there is not enough movement.
