Have everything set to plant( first time bubbleponic). But am leaving town for a wk, should I start seeds in cubes in my hydro sys, and just leave or should I wait till I return to start ? Guess I'm just antsy to get started.. Grow room is small closet w/ 400watt hps, 2 12" bubble stones, a small ocil. fan, water pump, my next question is is it safe for all the above to be running on one circut?Thanks guys ,,

You should be fine on one circuit. I would plant before you go. As long as you have timers on your pumps and light, you should be good.

Plant before you leave. If everything is on timers and circuits are good, you'll come home to some nice little babies waiting for you.

Have you run this system before? If not I would wait till you get back. You might have to mess with stuff to get it to work right. not something you can do when your away.

Ya i'd be careful, if you're using MH or HPS you may come home to find your house burned to the ground just cause one of your timers/circuits were off/fucked. That's just me though, i'm always over analytical and cautious.

I would wait, and plant when you get home. Better a few more days' wait than risk something going wrong while you're not there.

Thanks people, I think I'll just run it for a day or two to work out any bugs then drain it and wait till I get back better safe than sorry. Thanks again for the input..
