Hey guys, I am new to rollitup and this is my first grow.. I have the SH Bubbleponics 6 plant system with 2 dual spectrum CFL's.. It comes with everything you need basically with pre-measured nutes and all.. I was thinking I am going to grow 4 plants instead of 6, being that I have read that 6 can be too much for this system to handle.. I am still setting everything up, but I was wondering if anyone had any pre-op suggestions that could help to ensure that things get off to a smooth start..
So far I have gathered that I should ensure that no light can get to the roots/seedlings by using black electric tape to cover the lid... Do I put the tape on top of the lid closer to the lights or under the lid by the water (if any at all? I am not a scientist, but my guess is that it would not stick for long under the lid due to humidity)
Also I am growing in a normal sized sliding door closet with a decent sized space to work in.. The closet is painted white, should this suffice for reflection and good lighting or do I need something else.. Also should these 2 dual spectrum lights be enough to fuel these 4 plants in both stages?
I want to start the seeds in the rockwool by putting everything together and placing the seeds in the rockwool, then pouring the nutes and water over the rockwool just enough to wet them like it says in Roseman's grow instructions... Does this work well, or does anyone have a better suggestion to get the seeds started??
Also I could really use tips on how to use the preset SH bubbleponics nute kit at first so that I dont initially over or under supply the nutrients...
Another thing, what is the best type of water to use for this? Does the ph need to be a certain number before I start?
Please if anyone has any suggestions or tips it would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
