Hey everyone total noob to all this...

And this is the correct setup Carbon filter > ducting > cooltube with lamp > ducting > fan (which sits in loft.)

I'm 100% confident now with your help. I want to give you more rep but I have to give some to others first.
Ebay...here we come.

Also, would this work with the 2nd combo? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-Coolshade-light-Reflector-Hydroponics-cooltube-/390225456924?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN

This appears to come with cooltube, reflector....I think the whole kit?? What do you think??

either of those its up 2u.

the 1st one is with a 6" cooltube (150mm) so your fan should be 6" .

forgot to add yes filter light fan all connected

Will go for the 5 actually. I was reading edsthreads journal entry in relation to the canna terra feeding regime. This is what I was thinking of following

WEEK 1 (7 DAYS FROM SEED) FORMULEX (2.5ML PER LITRE)
WEEK 2 (14 DAYS FROM SEED) FORMULEX (5ML PER LITRE)
WEEK 3 (21 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA A+B (1.5ML PER LITRE) + 2ML OF RHIZO'
WEEK 4 (28 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA A+B (3ML PER LITRE) + 2ML OF RHIZOTONIC
WEEK 5 (35 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA A+B (3ML PER LITRE) + 2ML OF RHIZOTONIC
WEEK 6 (42 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA A+B (3.5ML PER LITRE) + 2ML OF RHIZOTONIC
WEEK 7 (49 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA A+B (3.5ML PER LITRE) + 2ML OF RHIZOTONIC
WEEK 8 (56 DAYS FROM SEED) CANNA FLUSH (4ML PER LITRE)
WEEK 9 (63 DAYS FROM SEED) HARVEST

Minus the canna flush. Instead flushing with ordinary water (after being left out of boiled and left to cool down) Does this seem like a good regime? Will I need anything else?

you have to learn to read plants to see when to feed more food..


its not as clear cut as that list.

there are alot more variables than just nutes.

remember KISS KEEP IT SIMPLE STONER

get yourself some grow bloom and a pk13/14 booster and see what you can do.


dont get caught up in all the magic formulas just yet.

get a grow under your belt then look to improve.


J

I see, and what would I use for the veg state?
Kiss, yea I will remember that!!

i currently use IONIC GROW/BLOOM/BOOST

7quid a litre.

its cheap enough and does a decent job, you use grow during veg phase and for 1-2 weeks into 12/12 then switch to bloom only then on week 4-7 you add boost once a week.

These are what I found, look any good?

u are better off using a trio from the same manufacturer.

oh by the way do you plan on ordering online and getting delivered to your home?


J

I see, I will go for the one you suggested. And yea, ordering the majority of stuff online, got a garden store near me too which I can get a few odds and ends from.

first big mistake! you shouldnt deliver to the address where you are growing.


J

Hows that? I don't have anyone else in this area I can get my stuff delivered to, don't trust em as far as I can throw them. My mum would have a hernia if I got it delivered to her address....

its a golden rule that most growers adhere to.

dont order seeds , equipment or supplies to your growing address.

J

Seeds are being sent to my mother in laws house, I haven't ordered anything yet. Will I get the obvious things like - light, carbon filter combo, ducting sent to hers. And get less obvious stuff sent to my own address? Or am I better just getting the lot sent to hers? Plus, how does that work with paypal??

it works fine with paypal you just enter a different delivery address. i use my brother in laws house as i grow for the 2 of us.


J

Excellent. We'll get it sent to my mother in laws house, who stays about 70 miles away but I do like the train journey to hers lol! Thanks for warning me about that. Has your brother in law ever been raided??

nope.

but there isnt anything there if they did.


its just a precaution.


imagine if you order growing supplies and they come to your front door with things like

ARTIFICIAL GROW LAMP or COOLTUBE GROW LAMP REFLECTOR on the boxes and your neighbours happen to see all this..

i wait til dark to collect from my bro's


J

Aaaah right I see. Good idea. Well my mother in law is pretty cool about this stuff so she won't mind.
