Whats going on RIU. I was introduced to this site by a buddy, and I have been reading non stop. It has gotten to the point where my gf gets cranky because of it lol.

Anyways, I have done some research, written down some notes and I have been thinking this thru a little bit. Basically I am going to write down my set up and my notes and see what you guys have to say.

ANY INPUT WOULD BE AMAZING!!


Basically I am making a micro-grow setup. I want to go with CFL because I am a little strapped for cash, and with a bubble ponics/CFL setup I should get some good bang for my buck. I will be posting pictures this weekend after I build my set up.

I will be using some basic bagseed for my first grow. I want to learn the technique first ya know :) I was thinking of using just some low level nutes from the local nursery.

Now some points of interest. I hope these notes sound right. If they do not, please feel free to throw down your input!!

-Inside temp... 78 degrees
-humidity ... 70%
-water temp... 72 degrees
-water ph lvl... 5.2-6.5ish

-first 35 days of lighting for veg grow will be 24 hrs a day.
-next 30 days of lighting for flowering will be on an 18-6 setup.

now I remember reading somewhere about using different types(wattage) of lighting for each stage, but for the life of me I cant find the link :( help please!!!


I will be keeping a close eye on my res box for any algae growth.

Now with a bubble ponics set up, do I keep the roots out of the water? Or do I let them settle over their growth cycle??

So far that is the basic notes that I have. Like I said, I will take pictures this weekend and post them for your guys' input.

Thanks in advance for any and all input
