So, planning a grow and this is what ther is so far. Basically looking for any "improvements" RIU can come up with. Growers helping growers and such. Anyways, most of this stuff is already bought, but, "Open to suggestions"
goal is a small personal perpetual grow.
Clone/Veg - x2 48' Utilitech T12 fixtures (160w) I put one 6500K tube and one 3000K tube in each fixture. and then add CFLs as the plants grow.
Flower - 400w HPS was previously flowering with 2700K CFLs. Can finally get an HPS, but still shopping around. Don't want to waste $200 on a dud light. Air cooled reflector, inline, scrubber, air purifier w/ ionizer, etc.
Strains - L.S.D. and Querkle are en route. Other strains I'll probably get: Pandora's, Apollo-13, and Jack's Cleaner 2
Medium - Local regional potting mix 10-5-5 in 3 gal planters (perlite, peat moss, limestone, chicken poop)
Nutes - Monterey FISH & POOP 9-6-2 (planning on doing maybe 1/8 oz per gal. using with every water, backing off it burns, bt don't think its likely. water according to a reliable ol' moisture meter.)
Training - Will use strain specific methods based on known recommendations.
Light schedule will go from 24-0, 18-6, and finally, 12/12 haven't estimated how long it will take, but primary light switching will be based on growth and not time.
