I'm using RDWC aka recirculating deep water culture. your right about the flora and micro bloom its the lucas method. transplant them suckers when they come out of the dirt and put them under some lights. Get you a 400w MH bulb, a 400w HPS, digital conversion ballast that can handle 400w, a sealed hood for the lights, yo yo hangers to move the light up and down as the plant grows. intake fans and out take fans with filters on the out takes oh yeah filters is a must. ph meter, ppm meter, ph up and ph down. you will always use ph down more. RO (reverse osmosis water) which can be bought at any store but you can use tap as well I did with my first grow. you can do an entire grow with fora micro and flora bloom. go on amazon you can get every thing.

if you have any other questions just ask. oh and if you want to see some crazy strains go to the zon aka cannazon but your not really suppose to put other websites on here since the sooner is herbie seeds. oh yeah buy you a needleless syringe cc's are the same as ml's and it comes in f'n handy and some good trimmers for harvest time.

Thank you so much!! I just can't quite make up my mind if I want to use FFOF, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom... or if I want to do DWC, build my own DWC, and then use Flora Bloom, Flora Micro... can't decide!!! someone help :(

Okay so maybe instead of a grow tent, I may just go on craigslist and get a dresser, something like this:

Then saw off the bottom 4 drawers and maybe drill the front panels on and cut out the back for the door? Purchase two hinges and make a make-shift door behinds the dresser. I can possibly fit this in my closet. Any suggestions or ideas?

I would still look around if your a Craiglister,Also would stay away from a Cooltube and get a good Glass hood,Extraction fan,and Filter if needed i dont need a Scrubber.I live in the Boonies.Do you deal with a Hydro store......... Mine always has used Hoods,Ballast,Tents etc etc.I picked up a 8" Glass hood made buy Hydrofarm for 75 bucks.Best investment is getting your grow space Temps,and Humidity under control before ever cracking a seed.

I like my cool tubes. I have 3. 1 with a hood and 2 without just a reflector inside the tube. Also use to air cooled hoods. I couldn't tell a difference by the plants. I did stop my 2 cool tubes. But only because they are 240 and I needed to use that for other power till I get a chance to upgrade my wirering.
