Hydroponic tent set up
Permalink  
 

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I am purchasing a fully equipted hydroponics tent. I am a beginner but have tremendous motivation and hope this becomes one of my passions. 6x5 tent, includes 600 watt hps maxlume, valuline 600 w switchable ballast, can lite carbon filter, centrifugal 6" fan, luminaire 6 reflector, the table, and inside the tent is shiny reflective material. Total cost= 1400$ What do you think?

There might be a change of plans. I got on the growhouse website and found incredible deals so tomorrow i'm going to check it out. I should have lights by tomorrow. I might go with the Master!
Couple of quesions: Since me and my girlfriend will both be growing, how big should a tent be for 24 plants?
Also, I have no idea what kind of table I need to grow hydroponically and everything else that is within the table plus nutrients, etc. This is he only thing I am missing (table, water pump, stuff like that).

IF you did'nt get your lights yet, BY all means go with !,00 watt switchable ballast and the best bulbs u can afford a . Lighting is the most important part of yield, it all breaks down into wattage and buds,,,, low wattage = smaller and fewer buds more wattage = bigger buds and more of them ,, you can fit 24 plants in 5x5 but it gets tite, best to have two grow areas and staged 7 weeks apart, that way you can clone and keep growing new stuff all the time,,,,,,,,,, it takes dedication, its like having a lil baby around, u will probably really get into it though, growing becomes its own addiction

I have Two 4x4 tables and reservoirs I could sell u cheap, but hydro is really a lot more difficult than soil, Lots that can go very wrong, with soil u water every 2 or 3 days and watch out for bugs, males and hermes. hehh, heh good luck brother

good way to figure light needs is 40 watts per square foot

Hydro, I'm going to get there eventually,, I love to watch "limbo" 's grow on you tube, by far the best on there . I have equipment picked up from people who sold it, its high set up costs, I like the ebb and flow system,
