Got the same thing a month ago. Plants are doing great. A little crowded and might do 4 instead of 6 next time. Gonna wait to see how it does after I cull the males if I have any. Hoping I get at least 3 females out of the deal. Very easy. Make sure you get the "drain"...it will make your life easier. Don't use any nutes until they get 6-8 inches. Good luck!

Thats OK Jeff. I germinated mine placed them in rockwool and put in the net pots. Just be very careful with your seedlings. They tell me you can germinate in the rockwool but it takes longer. Also Saine is right. You can build it cheaper. I'm just not mechanical and really don't like building stuff. Just me. But I really like the Hydro setup from SH.

Yea id rather get the kit because it also comes with the lights and id rather have it all together. As for the nutes does the SH site have nutes that could work? if so which ones are they?
Thanks

The nutes that come with ti are very favorable to what most recommend. The b loom is just a little lite on the Nitrogen, but everybody seems to recommend backing off N after a very short while. Just make sure you wait until your plants get to 6-8" before adding nutes and only do 75% the first time.

Also, forget the drain. Went to Home Depot today and got some 1/2" tubing and just pumped it out. Very easy...only $6.

Get the best lights Dual Spectrum II...Use distilled water...change it every 10-14 days...watch your ph 5.75-6.25...Mix your nutes in one of the gallon jugs and micro in another before adding to the tub. Let it sit overnite and make sure it is totally dissolved.

Good luck.
