I forgot the most important one.. Hey I have a question.. my friend at the hydro store said the roots will grow through the smart pot..I can still change to a round plastic pot with a grate like bottom for the roots to grow through...I have read a lot on smart pots, but haven't found anything...

Damn pics didn't load ..let me try again

I almost have it all figured out. I bought the 4'x4' trays today and just used some landscaping blocks under them and put in drains. I am going to run the drain line out of the room..now I am not sure what to do with the end of the drain..just let it run under the house or tie it into the...

I just cought up on your progress and I will be following..I am about to start my first coco grow in a few days. Those ladies are looking nice!

Hey Quitar, Thanks for the advice...makes sense to not make it harder than it has to be right? The lady at the hydro shop said her coco was organic and didn't need to be flushed, but everyone on here seems to say the same thing..so I will flush just to be safe. I am wondering if...

Ok don't everyone answer at once.. I actually want to add another question that has come up.. should I go with smaller pots given I will only have 12 plants and about a 5' high growth capacity?

Good to know..I was given the idea at the hydro store..but it does make sense that you wouldn't want to put the waste back into the plants.

I have about a max of 5' hight without getting to close to the lights. If I had more height I would lift up the trays and put a reservoir under. Maybe I am way off base here, but I thought big pots meant big plants.. I also didn't know that coco in pots was considered hydro..( sounds like I...

Thanks Air for the response, but I am not doing hydro..I am just using coco instead of soil

So I have my room almost done..10'x7'x7' framed with therma- board walls-two 1000wt switchable sun system vented ballasts( I have two MH and 2 HPS bulbs)- 6" vortex exhaust - I haven't picked up the 6000 BTU window ac yet I am waiting to see the temps first-I am haveing a seperate 220 breaker...

OK I have a question about my drainage. I am going to use coir as my medium in 10 gallon smart pots. I haven't decided if I will use individual trays under the pots or the 4'x4' trays with 6 pots in each. The advantage of the individual trays would be that I can arrange the pots with a little...

OK before you take the time to answer anymore questions... I am going to have an electrician buddy of mine come out and wire a 220 set up for me... I figure I am already almost 3 grand into this set up, I am not going to cut corners now...Thanks for the advice though..it was the shove I needed...

Ok the guy that lived here before was a retired electician and wired some circuits in the garage. I have an outlet that looks like it is split between two circuits..check these pics out and let me know what you think..I also put a picture of the extension cord specs- I have two of the extension...

Thanks for the advice. I do have a 240 outlet that is about 40 ft away I could use. Can I run an extension cord and a power strip to this to run both lights? Here is a picture of the outlet

I am running two 1000w HID's and a vortex exhaust..also a couple of regular house fans in the room. I am running a heavy duty extension cord with three femal inputs at the end. 1)I wanted to know if I can connect the two ballasts and the vortex exhaust fan to one cord or if I should run two...

Heyt thanks for the tips Zen/Corwin. It's good to hear all the postives on coco. I will be starting a journal and definatly appreicate the advice. I will check out your journal Corwin. I checked out Snow white's journals and I definatley like those Snapture connectors..It gave me an idea...

I am about to start my first grow. I have a 6.5' x 10' room 7 ' high and am using two 1000w hps for flowering. I am using the same switchable ballasts and room to veg my clones with two MH bulbs for my first veg cycle and start on a veg room for my next. Friends are trying to talk me out of...

Ya, you gotta love it. Prop 215 Thanks for the tips! I already have a pool liner on the floor, I might just use some plastic water trays under the pots..keep it simple right? I will probably start a journal if you want to see how bad I mess this up...lol jk .. I better not after all the $$...

thanks I will probably go with the 10 gallon like you said. I haven't bought the clones yet. I am going to the club this week to get them. It will depend on what they have, but I am going with some type of indica. I def am not trying hydro.. the coco was just a recommendation instead of soil...

Thank you for the advice. I should clarify that I was planning on using soil originally and a friend that owns a hydro- garden shop said that coco instead of soil is much better. She said to use it just like soil execpt I have to add the nutes. I definatly want to keep it simple and the only...
