OK....Well here it goes!!
I guess I'll start with genetics....because I always read "Genetics" are very important. I went all out and ordered 10 fem. seeds from Nirvana. First off...the staff at Nirvana is great. Got my seeds in less than 2 weeks...not too bad. 5 fem. Pure Power Plant, and 5 fem. Aurora Indica. I planted them on April 28th and started them in the Hydro Farm Jump Starter kit. Real easy and came with a dome. I saw sprouts in 48 hours and planted them into 3" coco fiber pots under 24/7 florescent light. I decided to go with a soil-less mix and came across Pro-Mix Bx. This was highly recommended from a friend so I got the big one..3.8 cubic feet. 2 days later I started them 18/6 under my air cooled 600 watt metal halide. It only took another 3 days for the roots to push through the bottom of the coco pots.
Now they are in 1 gallon pots. All of the PPP fems are in smart-pots. My local Hydro guy talked me into to trying them out, but he only had 6. 1 of my Aurora's is in a smart pot, and the other 4 are in regular plactic pots. I'm anxious to see how these turn out and if there is a difference. I've been able to keep the temp. and the humidity at good levels. The humididty has never been over 40% and Temp. stays around 78-79 F. I bought a 6" 430 cfm fan and kept one side open. This sucks out the heat from the bulb and the heat and old air from the room. I also have a smaller 6" duct fan that is 250 cfm pulling fresh air into the room.
I'm using Gen. Hydro's Flora Nova 2 part series for nutes. I know that these are not the best, but I am a noob and wanted to stick with something that I can usewith ease. I have been feeding them with 3/4 nutes. I have also been feeding them plain water every 3rd feeding. I will only do this for the first month or so. (not sure if this helps...another tip from a friend)
Any suggestions or tips are helpful....Thx All!

I use it alone from seedling to harvest with great results.
) with good results so far, too.
