Whats goin on everybody..
This will be my first shot here at goin hydro setup in a cab.. i tried in soil with a very ghetto-rigged setup which led to a few dead kush plants.
whatever though..
Anyways, here's my setup so far still waiting on some stuff. i got a 4x4x7 grow cab.. i'm going to be using a 1000w hps+mh dual arc bulb with a umbrella-type hood. Has anyone used these? High Tech Garden Supply
getting 2 170cfm inline fans.. 1 will go into a hepa filter for intake air the second fan will go into a carbon filter for exhaust.
my real questions are in the actual timing part of everything. I obviously know i will need a timer for the lights for doing a 18/6 or 12/12, etc. but i've been reading the fans are on timing too. (turning on to clear the air out, etc.) how is this done am i right? the next thing i need to know regarding timing is with the water and air pumps that will be running the hydro system. how do i get them to cycle on? i've heard its best to run them 2 minutes on and then off for 10 minutes? i dont know if thats true or not... if not what and how should i set it?
i think those are the questions i've been struggling with... as far as nutes go, i have some superthrive that i will be adding to the water because i've read you can use it from start to finish with success. Is this stuff good?
i'm planning on growing some diesel ryder auto seeds as well as some cali orange and this one female Blue Nose strain.
any help, suggestions, tips would be awesome... i've read a lot from some badass growers, thanks in advance! Blaze On.
