DWC Bucket Hydroponic System

I have a office size room avaible to grow in so I order a deep water culture system that comes with a air pump,air stone,net pots and Hydroton. But what Lights will I be needing and what Nutrients . I was thinking Metal Halides light but what watt? and for nutes I was going to go with Humboldts as a brand but what all do I need and I wanna go all Origanic. I talked to this guy that has God's gift clones for sale & i asked if it was in soil or woolrock and he said that they were in some sort of tube and you pick weather you want to put them in soil or rockwool. Please Help

Dude... welcome. But that seems to be a mighty open ended question you pose. Search these forums, there are years worth of posts on lighting, the virtues of different types, wattages etc. It doesn't seem to work as well to just show up and say "Hi everybody, i want to grow... now, please tell me how." Good luck with your grow op setup. Welcome.

If just one HID light buy a high pressure sodium instead of halide. Therefore I suggest using cheap-to-buy CFLs to veg early then HPS to finish. I have done complete grows under HPS alone, MH alone and a combo. HPS wins over MH any day if just one light. Now I use CFLs on seedlings and young clones to early veg, MH to complete veg and HPS to flower.
