I just ordered my 400 Watt High Pressure Sodium XtraSun II Aluminum Wing Reflector Grow Light System, 5 Dripper Stake w/1/8in Line , 1 pint FloraGro, 1 Pint FloraBloom. I already have my 10 Feminized Blueberry seeds and need to setup my room. Just wondering since the site (Hydroponics.net) never really specified if soil grow or hydro. Has anyone used this model before? If so what else am i missing?> Thanks for all the help cant wait to start my journal. Stuff comes in 4 days. :joint::hump:

pretty sure hydrofarm=waterfarm, which I used for a while (started a grow journal you can check out). it's hydro man, and those nutes that come with it, is yours missing the flora micro? cause your gonna need that shit. Check out te "hardwater" micronutrients if your not using r/o water, that's what I use and I use water straight out of the tap (nasty city water too... until I can afford an r/o system). Anyways... I get to rambling but yeah pretty good system, needs the extra attention though so be careful. I might be able to help you out a little if you got questions PM me if you need it.

EDIT: Well, after going through the hydroponics.net site i'm not sure if we're talking about the same system or not, I used the waterfarm drip system (you mentioned a 5 dripper?), but ave built a DWC and aero system as well, and I use the FLORAseries nutrients so just get at me if you need te help with anything. If I don't know I can hopefully point you in the right direction

I bought the drippers extra since i figured i would need them but i'll just wait for it to arrive in the mail and then i'll go buy my medium and either a plastic tub to setup the hydro or some normal pots for soil grow. How critical is the FloraMicro? thats the only nut i didnt order.

What EXACTLY did you purchase? I see the hydrofarm category but no hydrofarm system exactly. I'll be able to tell you what medium it is, but most likely (hydrofarm)
its gonna be hydro. As for the nutes, yeah your gonna need that micro man the Flora series is a 3-part system meaning, without supplements, AB&C instead of just A&B.

After looking over the order details, looks like i bought just a 400w HPS blub, ballast, Aluminum Reflector: 12-1/2"H x 19-3/4"W x 6-1/2"L. So i was being a stoned bastard and bought 5 drippers for nothing. I wanted to do a soil grow my first time anyways. Will the Nuts i got still work for soil?
