[Question] Will I need anything else if I get this system?

System in question: http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=2&xSec=2

I've never grown marijuana in my life, but I've been interested for quite awhile. From what I've read, the set up I've linked to is pretty good. (If a bit pricey)

Will I need to buy anything else in order to use this system? Or does it include everything I'll need? (Minus the seeds of course)

If I do need something additional, what is it? Where can I get it, and how much will it cost?


Now, I'm not trying to be the worlds greatest marijuana farmer, so please don't recommend top grade lighting equipment and such. I've heard the lights included in the package suffice to grow some alright stuff, which is all I'm looking to accomplish.

If you can offer any additional advice or tips as well for this system, that would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance.

go to the dept. store of your choice. buy a couple of 5 gallon buckets, a dual output air pump for aquairuims, some tubing and an air stones. while you are there you can pick up a few cfl's, y splitters and light sockets. now would be the time to pick up enough flat white paint to paint your grow closet. maybe 35, 40 bucks spent here. now go to the local hydroponic shop and get ready to spend about a hundred bucks. buy yourself net lids for the 5 gallon buckets, some hydroton clay pebbles and rapid rooters, or some growers perfer rockwool. some plant nutrients (i recomend the general hydroponics line up) and ph up and down. i would shop online for a digital ph/tds meter, i would stick with a name brand such as hanna or oakton. these meters are worth their weight in gold to a grower. what did i miss?

not to start an argument butt...
hydroton clay balls dirty and expensive
sure to grow slab $4.50 (3'Lx3"Hx6"W) i make blocks out of it that fit in my 3 1/2 net pots ..cheap and very clean
but each to his own

i never paid that much attention to the price but i really don't see how you could say a harden clay pebble is dirty? but yeah, to each his own.

I agree with the others. I'd avoid the tote and submersible pump (especially if you plan on using HID lighting)

I'd buy the black 5 gallon buckets with lids. They cost like 5 bucks each at the hydro store (If you wanna see the buckets i have them in my grow thread in my sig). Get a air pump along with some air stones and a ppm and ph meter (which i found for around 15-20 bucks online) and your golden. Cheaper and better. Best of luck.

i've never used rockwool, if he went that way you could put the seeds straight into the rockwool to germanate and not need the rapid rooters?

that's how i did it the first time i wasted money on that machine . now i have learned that areo system works 10 times better.. hinds sites 20\20
