Welcome New Members!

Just want to say hello to everyone - especially fellow Buckeyes! Been a toker for a long time now (basically since the 70's with some time gaps here & there). Unable to partake at this time since I'm between jobs and you never know if you get tested or not after an interview. If Ohio legalizes pot for medicinal purposes, I'd love to get a few plants going. I've had pain in my ankle for years from a car accident that basically only bud helps out with. So I'm hoping to learn a few things that I will hopefully be able to put into practice at some point!

Hello to all Im new here and just thought i would declare that i have arrived.

lol

Greetings all! I've been using the site as a reference for sometime now and thought it was about time I actually introduced myself. I'm on my second grow this year.
First was a totally natural grow, in soil using Northern lights, WW and Purple strains - more of a test really to see what strains grew best in a cold and wet climate. From what I've found, the WW is a seriously tough plant which grew quite well - if a bit spindly and sparse. The Northern Lights didn't seem to respond very well to a combination of cold and wet and the Purple haze was a non- runner really.

This time around I've moved things indoor; using a Yaroots hydro system and cellmax nutes. The water around here is quite acidic (ph 7.9 so I'm having to process large quantities of water to get ph levels correct for the hydro system. The current grow is just WW and Northern Lights and 2 WW clones from the best of the last grow. Germination is complete and the roots are just begining to poke through the bottom of the rockwool. Waiting on a 2nd set of true leaves to sprout before I plant into Hydrokorrels and get the Hydro system going.

Lighting wise I'm using 2 6400K Super CFL's (250W each - that's not equivelant light) for Veg and a combination of 90W LED and CFL for Bloom. I think that should be enough for the quantity of plants. There's also a bar heater to keep the temps up.

I just have a couple of simple questions (I've tried the search but didn't come up with much):

When using a drip hydro system should the water be dripping straight onto the rockwool or should I avoid watering directly onto the Rockwool altogether? I figure since the Rockwool retains so much moisture, I could be in danger of root rot. Any pointers?? Thanks all and also thanks for all of the incredible amounts of knowledge and information imparted on this forum! Respect!

Greetings from alberta

Well Im making my first attempt at my own garden, I have helped with my father in laws garden before so I have a little first hand knowledge( and a whole lot of second hand info).
Im growing in a soilless mix just to use as a buffer untill I get things down a little better then possibly go hydro or areo .Also why im using what seeds we have and not a high end strain(what we have is called alberta asshole).
Anyways Ive started off 2 seedlings and have twelve more just germinated and planted in the media. under 3 24watt CFLs with 1 15 watter in there just because i had it lieing around. My growbox is a former kitchen cabinet with the slightly textured white plastic coating, its on its side with the lights hanging from the thin peice of backing board. I will be cloning once a get a decent mother.
I plan to have a flowing and veg room under equal lighting, my question is real world how many plants should I have going if I plan to use say 500wts in each room?
id like to keep the plants under three feet tall, but when my in law flowered the plant jumped from around 35cm tall to almost four feet using what I belive was a 250 wt HPS for a single plant.

One last question i live in northern alberta canada where the air is really thin in the winter, will I see an adverse condition with my plants because of this? my basement stays really cool in the winter so im hoping not to need any air exchange equipment to keep temps in check.

Thanks for reading my mini novel, and a special thanks for anyone that has any helpfull hints.
