Hey guys so this is going to be my first grow. I've done lots of reading but I'm still un aware of the specifics of some minor things.
heres what I'm doing so far;
I have the bucket, air pump/stone, basket, grow medium, and thats it.
I'm doing a SINGLE PLANT in the reservoir; that being said:
is a 22"x36"x63" tent ok to raise this plant start to finish?
What tempature should it be kept at? What humidity?
What kind of light should I get? for a one single plant?
What's the most high rated line of nutrients?
what PH level should it be kept at?
is there any other 'levels' i should keep an eye on also?
and I have two buckets, so when I get ready to change the reservoir water I move the air system..etc to the bucket 2, and lift the lid from bucket 1 and place it onto bucket 2 which is already having nutes etc. so there is no downtimes for the plant w/o it's needs and wants.
Guys any advice also?

Hey bud. From the looks of things you may want to keep reading for a bit, but I'll take a stab at suggesting a few things. But again read more and DON'T TRUST ME, I'm new to this so take my suggestions as suggestions....

I have the bucket, air pump/stone, basket, grow medium, and thats it. What size res, pump and basket and what medium?
I'm doing a SINGLE PLANT in the reservoir; that being said: Strain?
is a 22"x36"x63" tent ok to raise this plant start to finish? I'd imagine it depends on how long you veg it for, what light and how you train it. If it were me I'd prob go for a 180 Watt led, Veg it a couple of weeks and put a net on top of it.
What tempature should it be kept at? What humidity? 24-29 celcius but allow for about a 9 degree drop during dark. Veg I'm told should be 60-70% and flower should be lower at 40-60 % but I think this varies....
What kind of light should I get? for a one single plant? As above
What's the most high rated line of nutrients?No idea sorry
what PH level should it be kept at? 5.8 - 6.0
is there any other 'levels' i should keep an eye on also? EC, Res temp & how high your light is.
and I have two buckets, so when I get ready to change the reservoir water I move the air system..etc to the bucket 2, and lift the lid from bucket 1 and place it onto bucket 2 which is already having nutes etc. so there is no downtimes for the plant w/o it's needs and wants. Don't be afraid to let the plant sit with the roots free in the air when you change your res. Just don't let them dry out.
Guys any advice also?

Look into beneficial microbes. I don't have access to the ingredients where I am but it seams like the DWC people swear by them. Read this https://www.rollitup.org/t/dwc-root-slime-cure-aka-how-to-breed-beneficial-microbes.361430/

Anyway bud, if you want a cracker of grow first time, disregard what I have suggested and read a lot more. If you want to get going and are happy to get a mediocre grow the first time, then take my suggestions, get cracking and read read read as you go. Have fun!!
