    Bongboy00, I use a standard flourescent shop light/lights for my veg. Usually pick up 2 bulb 4' fixtures at hardware store for around $20. Stay away form the cheap fixtures at wallyworld. I use ho t5's also but just regular t8 bulbs work just fine and are cheaper. Just be sure to mix 3 cool...

    Bongboy00, 10 gal should do it. Don't forget to use an inline filter found in hardware store in the well pump section, 200 micron cleanable. OG

    As promised here is Aerokrafters nutrient regieme. Growing this way is as far away from kiss (keep it simple) as it gets. I can attest to the results they are outstanding, explosive growth and extreme frosty buds with excellent smell and flavor. Note res is only changed every 2 weeks. It is...

    SailAway, Looking good buddy. Bongboy00, with a 2" drain line I would not see a problem with clogging. Like stated earlier I use to use my system rdwc. I mounted a line inside up high near the net pots and used no spray heads, just drilled holes in the line so the spray hit the water and added...

    SailAway, you can just use ph'd water for a day no problem. As for cloning just look in the threads here theres plenty of info, but yes i use nutes (mild 500ppm). I only scrape the last 1 inch if woody otherwise just try to have a leaf junction (node) near the 45 degree cut. Bongboy00, that is...

    Sailaway, as for light distance away from plant tops - just hold your hand, plam down under the light. If it is to hot too keep you hand under it for a minute or more its to hot for the plant. Hope that helps OG

    Sailaway, as long as you have 3 good sets of nodes to get 3 main shoots going you could top at any time but don't forget some of the stem will be inside the net pot so some extra stem length is needed. You don't have totop if you don't want to though, but topping makes a nice bush, spreads out...

    Stretch, sorry about the previous spelling. Stretch is when you put the plant info flower and the resultant growth in height called stretch. The spacing between the nodes will increase sometimes dramatically, before and during the very first stage of flower development. Usually indica strains...

    To bad the misses don't want to help haha. Mrs OG has a brown thumb, is always volunteering to help, but I usually keep her away. Usually let her help during cloning and system startup and that's about it. She always volunteers to help chop and trim but alas I am picky about trimming and would...

    About mounting the misters, you could use cork or rubber stoppers drilled in center to hold in place, or even neoprene. I use grommets I picked up at hydro store, they weren't cheap.

    Sailaway, about your ventilation I think you may at some point run into problems with just the 4 inch intake, you may want to consider a larger size. I understand you will have others thermo controlled but 4" May not do. Check out ventilation on the design and setup area. Gl OG

    SailAway, ok lets see if I can help you. About when to start your plants flowering - sorry I have no experience with the strains you are growing and you have not told me how much growng height you have. You need to reseach the strains you have. You could ask on the seed and strain thread and...

    I just top my plants no fimming. So just to be clear I top to three branches then keep it to three nodes (branches) per each top. Yeah everything looks small to start but you will have a jungle at the end.

    For soil it may not have been clear ph around 6.7 ppm 550 of so. Also soil that is bagged like foxfarm ocean forest, etc. should be fine, just add about 20 percent perlite to the mix. Be sure you have drainage holes in the bottom of the pots. If large holes I just cover the inside bottom of the...
