OH oops..yes House and Garden Coco A/B and House and Garden root excel, drip clean and later bud xl....sorry about that..I just re-read you question..

Below is a pic of what I have so far..taken before I started..I took back the Coco Gro and just used the B'Cuzz..I got the sample of miracle green, but don't know what it is or when to use it..it isn't on the H&G chart.

Day 11 -
I noticed tonight that the roots are really stretching out and are starting to come through the pots..
Originally I was going to line the bottom of the trays with coco and let the roots spread though the trays, but wasn't sure how the roots would fair growing through the pots..I guess I got my answer. I may try it on the next grow and try watering from the bottom.

Hey thanks mofizzle! I do have some obsessive compulsive issues lol :lol: A day hasn't gone by that I haven't tweaked or added something.
This is what I am working on now https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/7074-easy-build-diy-carbon-filter.html a home made carbon filter... they are actually getting pretty smelly already. I also am thinking about adding a small intake fan..I have two passive intakes, but still have quite a bit of suction in the room when I zip up the door.
Oh and I am starting my veg/clone room this weekend. Should be much more simple..

Made the carbon filter and installed at the end of my 6" exhaust duct..I made the filter with an 8" to 6" reducer..I made the filter 8" x 20".

I watered today with A/B, root excel, drip clean, and magic green. 3 Days since last watering and the coo was still slightly moist..I probably could have went another day, but wanted to get them their nutes.

So today I put on the scrog net. It was a chore..I couldn't find any wire that had the right size hole at home depot, so I had to improvise. I found this plastic net that had 3/4 inch openings, so I cut the square openeings to make them bigger and it made about 2". It took a while, but I think it will work out good.
I also picked up an a/c. I found this on craigslist and couldn't pass it up for $100-(WindChaser PAC9 portable Air Conditioner. 9,000 BTU ) . It retails for over $500 and is like new. I don't really need it right now, but it is a de-humidifyer too so I will need it soon.

I started on my aero cloner..I need to find some neopreme rings for the 2" holes on the lid..I will stop by the hydro store on monday..I will post pics when I am finished.

very nice Raider :eyesmoke: big fan of scrogs too. they're typically easier with sativas to weave them through the screen compared to indicas being stalkier and don't stretch like sativas, haha I've tried both. just gotta be a little more patient with indicas lol

glad I found this before it really got going. scribed :blsmoke:

Hey thanks notoriousb! bongsmilie
Yeah it will be cool to see how the scrog works..there is about an inch for a couple plants and 2-3 for the shortest to reach the screen..but I plan on bending the main cola over toward the light and when the side shoots reach the screen, then start feeding them through.
Thanks for stopping by man.:eyesmoke:

I picked up a cheap soil ph tester.. It was my understanding that when using coco the ph of the res is all you really need to worry about when using coco. Well the soil meter reads that the ph is just below 7. I am not sure how acurite the meter is, but never the less it is higher than I want it.
I have been using ph-up to bring the ph up after adding nutes. The ph drops to about 4.8 after I add nutes and I bring it up to 5.8. So I will feed at a ph of 5 in the res at my next watering.
A couple more pics
