i currently have no hydro shops around me and perfered to shop in person so i bought everything while i went on vacation and brought it back i have only had one grow and it was a 5gallon net pot dwc grow with some very generic nutrients for my first grow and i had very little problems with my first grow other than i used all cfl bulbs and it took a little time but got roughly 40 grams out of my plant but this time now that i have 1 successful grow and understand more i have built my 50 gallon fishtank into a dwc that will basically hold 20-25 gallons of water and the tank is 4ft long 16''x18'' or so i have 4 air stone tubing and a 4 port air pump, clay pellets and 4'' cubes...i have upgraded my lights and have a 300 w led and a 180 w led put my old cfl 200-300w bulb...my grow tent is something i built and am going to be 21/2ftx5 ftx 4ft then i can add 3 ft to it if i want but how many plants can i grow and i also bought RX Greensolution part A&B grow and part A&B bloom some liquid seaweed and some flora bud concentrate anyways what is the mixture for this has anyone had any problems should i do a scrog grow this time i also ordered amnesia haze i havent yet started my grow but am going to start within the month just want to do plenty of research before i start. I also own a digital tds meter but have never used it?? and a digital ph meter that i do use...dont really want to spend any money on a RO water system can i buy 5 gallon jugs of water at a fish store? and just PH it??? Do i use both part A&B at same time? is there anything i need to think of or do before also temp has always stayed at 72-75 and at 40% humiditiy i never had a issue there? last time i ran it a few problems but were caught very eary and fixed only problems i had was i needed to add hydrogen peroxide and epson salt last time but it was never more than a few leaves that drooped or got light spotting but it only lasted a few days.... can i use my well water that is very soft not very hard

yeah unfortunatly i dont have anything near by within 2hr drive is the closest and so i have did plenty of research and just started joining this forum which is one i read off of last year when i started my first grow....is a 300w 5w led bulbs then a 180w led bulb plenty enough for vegetation? im building a pvc frame then wrapping it in the semi reflective bubble wrap that i already have the grow tent will be 30'' wide x 5 ft my fish tank takes up about 17'' x 4ft...should i do 3 plants in the fishtank or 4? i dont have a problem with height i can go up to 8ft and can add height to my grow tent later on...should i fill my remander tent with 2 5 gallon buckets? is scrog the way to go? or is it kinda tricky and can harm the plant? amnesia haze is the strain i ordered and i should have seeds and have everything started within 2 weeks...the nutrients i bought didnt have any pamplets( RX Greensolution part A&B)grow then i bought part a&B of bloom and liquid seaweed can i use both of those at same time or is that going to be to much?

Using parts A&B together is normally fine. To be safe I use one every other watering. ScrOG is the way to go... I'd do 3 or 4 plants in the aquarium and leave some room to move around in the tent. The LEDs that you have will be plenty for veg. Actually, one of them would be fine for veg and add the other one during flower.

awesome thanks for the input yeah definetly going to stick to doing that probably do 3 large plants and let them veg for a while...anything special to know about a scrog? i live in indiana and have nobody to learn from or have anyone that lives around and no hydro shops near by so just use some coated clothesline wrap it tight and fasten it to my frame about 24'' up from bottom of plant and make 3x3 squares then top it or break the top or super crop ig is what its called then use some rubberized plant ties and fast it? or am i missing anything? does it matter if i fasten to bottom or top of screen or is it about same thing either way? Thanks for all the input

I do mostly microgrows but I set my screens about 10-12 inches from the soil and use a horticultural tie wire from miracle grow (the only miracle grow product that I use) it doesn't matter if you go over or under or tie it down to a separate anchor. The screen is just an easier way to keep the tops even. With the size and setup you've got you could probably veg for a little bit longer before flipping too.

Wow.

OK use RO from wherever but mix it with tapwater. Use A& B together.



Not ordering that schedule but check it out. I would still use Bloom in my feeds from the start unless Grow has a lot of Ph and K in it.
