Hello everyone! 
I've got a few questions for some of the experienced around here, and I've done my hours of research and aside from having everything I believe I need, I've hit a brick wall.
I'm going to give you guys a run down of what I'm working with
Tools:
Resources:
(advice on what to use and what not throughout the process would help. A few I know are for flowering but which ones should not be combined/experimented/switched out with during veg and flower? Which ones are okay to use during seedling stage? Some of the stuff I purchased just to have around..like I'm not sure if the bud candy would be bad to use in combo w/ the beastie,open,and cha-ching)
By the way I'm not using FFOF for the seedlings just some organic worm casting rich dirt, fairly cheap and can be found at wal-mart. It's known as Terracyle Biodegradeable Seed Starter.
Works great, I can vouch for it, but it only has enough N for about 2 weeks before yellowing can be seen on leaves. I have 3 gal jiffy pots, 5 gal pots, and 10 gallon pots for transplanting.
As far as the electrical wiring, it runs on it's own breaker 15 amp, nothing else uses this breaker.
On average the way it is right now I'm recording temperatures. (no ventilation setup)
9/27/11=81°
9/28/11=79°
9/28/11=78°
There has been only two times this month where it was actually "cool" due to a cold front blowing in and that was on 9/16 and 9/18 where the temps recorded were 74° and 66° in the order listed. Way earlier in the summer the highest recorded was 92°.
Since summer is about over, I know ventilation is key to resolving, but what about for the winter months? Sure it's insulted but how cool is too cool? What should the temperatures not drop below? In my parts it can get as low as 40°-65°, I'm looking at 20° and below if it snows in January.
PH levels in water from the home is always reading out 7.1 and I calibrated it several times and it's usually 7.1-7.2 I know that PH needs to be kept between 6.5-6.8 at the most from what I've read.
I'm seeking advice on whether or not the 15 amps is good enough for what I've listed?
Not only that, but is it possible to use the the 1 4"inline fan w/ the carbon filter for not only air cooling my 2 cooltubes, but also to ventilate and carbon scrub the area? If so could someone explain how exactly am I to go about doing this? I'm hoping I didn't waste money on buying the 6" inductor and the 12" oscillating fan thinking it would help?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
