I just bought some lights for my new hydro drip system, some cool white and warm white cfl's (45w-120w) I have plenty but I was wondering what I need to start out with. I just got back from the FAQ but my question wasnt covered. I know i need the cool white for veg and warm for bud, but is it recommended to use some warms with the cools or just use the same with each other??? Id like to have every light beaming on it 24/7, but if i only should use the cools for veg, then please somebody let me know.

Also, i bought AN SENSI nutes for blooming. Im only going to veg for the first 20 inches or so (due to room height) then switch to flower, so i dunno what to get for that short period of vegging. I have some red bat guano and a bottle of SuperThrive. When and how can i use these ferts/additives??? Has anyone used any of these products? I have so many questions but it seems they rarely get any posts when i thread them. Please help me with ANY info about growing hydro!!! I dont even know how Im supossed to water my rock wool cube while the seed is sprouting. Is correct ph tap water okay??? PLEASE POST EVERYONE!!!

I*m just starting my new cfl grow and I used 4 cfl's with a mix of warm and cool light. Your plants aren*t going to complain about all the extra light.

Since your only growing to 20 inches you might not be able to even use a veg nute. Using a nute while the sprout is under 3 weeks is a bad idea. I figured if I put just a tiny bit in, they would be fine. Burnt the leaves up and I had to repot them. They are finally just old enough for me to give alittle bit.

And with hydro.. I don*t know. I use soil.
