First indoor hydro grow.

Grow room is in my basement with a flower room just under 6' X 8'. This grow is 6 plants, three "speedy chile" and three "shark shock". They are in coco medium in 15 gallon smart pots with 12" rain rings which are in tubs that drain back through a central drain system. I have a 32 gallon res in the veg room and pump into the flower room with return pumped back from a sub-floor sump. The res pump is on a timer and runs for two minutes at 5am, 7am, 9am, 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. In the two minute cycle about 20 gallons are pumped into the flower room. Using "Roots Soul" product line for the nutes. My well water is 30 PPM with a PH of 7.1. Being that this is my first hydro grow I was cautious and crept up on the PPM's running 7-900 in the final weeks. On my second week of flush now. For lighting I have a Bestva 2000 watt LED fixed in the center of the room and on either side of the led are two 400 watt HPS on tracks running the length of the 8 foot direction.
The grow has been insane to say the least. It took about four weeks and I was unable to enter the room. I am always nervous when things go really well the first time, I think I learn better from mistakes. My ventilation is inadequate, a new 8" Hyper fan and filter is waiting to be installed. Fan is in the back of the room and I cannot get to it until after harvest.
Well that is enough for now hope you all like it.

Thanks hotrodharley. I had planned to do something like that, bought the netting and put hooks around the room. Now I have never done any of this before so I am reading a lot and kind of winging a lot of it too. The plants began to grow so damn fast that I was forced out of the room. No trimming could be done, nothing, I have basically been the nute man and that is pretty much it. I have been standing in the doorway and staring for a good four weeks now.
