It's been a couple years since my last grow and I am fairly new to rollitup. I havent researched this stuff since overgrow was around. Anyways this is what I'm working with.

400 watt Agrostar ballast
6" Cooltube (which I'm not even sure I'm going to utilize)
4' wide, 6' tall, by 2' deep ClosetMaid wardrobe cabinet from Home Depot
Fox Farm Nutrients (Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom)
Soiless Medium (2/3 Peat Moss, 1/3 Perlite)
Dank ass Bagseed

I constructed the cab seperating top and bottom chambers one for flower one for veg.

Flowering grow space is approxiately 56" tall while the veg space is about 16" tall. I will be using an array of CFL and tubes for vegging and then put my ladies under the 400 watter. I have 2 120 cfm fans pulling exhaust from the top of the flower cab and 1 120 cfm and 2 60 cfm fans giving me fresh air from the bottom. I also have a 12" oscilating fan inside the chamber to keep the air moving as well. I'd like to get some pics up I had trouble lt time.

I would love to hear some advice or any comments or suggestions from everyone. PEacE!

I plan on using their schedule sent with their package, hopefully that will work out well as I have never used anything "real" when speaking of nutes, always some miracle gro stuff my mom might have had laying around her house. Now I have my own spot and a good deal of money invested hopefully it will work out. Also I have those fans mounted directly to the back of my cab, has anyone seen that done before. My temps are staying right around 80 should that be good?

You need to add dolomite to the mix at a rate of 1 tablespoon per gallon of mix or buy some cal/mag. Lime is cheaper and works just as well. 80 degrees is ok just not much warmer. Is that a cool tube reflector for the 400 watter, if so hook that sucker up! Your setup looks clean man, good luck!

Good thing you didn't use miracle grow, be sure not to overwater. check the ph before watering. let water sit out for 24 hours if using tap.
