So after killing our first clone we received, I decided to try out herbies. I got 5 seeds of white widow auto-flower.

I'm pretty happy so far! This is my first grow attempt, the seeds have exploded into growth. I just germinated it in the pot it will flower in, I already have a couple inch high seedling that is starting to bloom its first set of leaves.

I've decided to do

So here's my setup:
Fox farms trio - CALiMAGic
Subculture M
Botanicare coco coir, sodium pre-flushed
2 three gallon smart pots
4 clamp on light fixtures
two 13w 6500k CFL's (just for seedlings right now)
four 23w 5000k CFL's (to get them started in early veg)
Also pH pen, pH up & down

Obviously I'm missing some things, namely a fan and a thermometer/hygrometer plus a TDS/EC meter, and extra lighting.

The plan is to get a 130w Generic UFO LED grow light:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/UFO-130W-30...ae0021e&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=351500260120

It's generic from China, so it's cheap only $50. It says it runs an actual 130w and claims full spectrum, it has a couple UV, IR, and white diodes in it.

Spectrum: 430~440nm, 450~460nm, 610-615nm, 620~630nm, 650~660nm, and UV 380 - 400 nm,IR730nm




Oh, and I was also thinking about ordering some DripClean from House & Garden to deal with salt buildup, I've read that it's amazing for flushing out fertilizer salts which can happen with coco I guess.
