New Enthusiastic Grower :D!

Hey whats up? :mrgreen:

So About a year ago I decided to try and grow my own plant in my clothes dresser covered in tin foil using a 21" Black light and changing out the bulb for a green light xD! I had high hopes.. Plant got to about 2 feet. Then I had problems with bugs, ph, etc.. SO my heart broke and I had given up...was a soil grow

Now I have re-found my enthusiasm and anxiousness :bigjoint: I ordered...a 32x32x63 grow tent, 600w MH and HPS grow light + Reflector and thats it for now.. I Plan to do a Hydroponics set up...Its between Ebb&Flow being my first choice, A Drip system with recovery being my second choice and lastly..DWC system..(I need some input and to discuss a few things with someone thats willing to help please) send a message :D! would be greatful!

...Near Future Buys...
Reservoir
Planting Cups
Few Small fans..
Water Pump
My choice of medium..(rockwool or clay pellets)
Nutrients..Donno what to buy and when to add..Kinda lost..
Carbon filter...(nowhere to vent it to...so idk..):!:
Timers..

I need some help got some ?'s and some things im lost on...I think I get a good grip of it though..

Also Have some Afghan Seeds on the way...heard they had tolerance against illnesses.. thought it would be decent for my 1st grow :P

Wecome to RIU :) There's a whole section here dedicated to hydro, I'm sure if you took a look around it would answer many questions. Sadly I grow in soil, so I can't be of much help to you but sounds like you have the proper equipment this time around!

Hey Dr. GreenThumb, I'm doing a hydro too and this is my first grow CLICK HERE My tallest girl will be 4 weeks old this Friday and the others are 2 weeks old tomorrow. I'm doing the DWC grow which requires more care and attention but hey, as "enthusiastic growers" we love to be where our girls are anyways right? ;-) The bubbler was simple to keep in the house and try my hand at growing for the first time. I nuted for the first time a little over a week ago and used the Advanced Nutrients Micro/Grow/Bloom line up. The girls seem to like it. I only used 1/2 of what was directed 'cause with a hydro grow I know it's easy to overload on nutes. Good luck with your grow man, sounds like you are off to a good start.
