Super Lemon Haze - Closet Grow

This is my first time growing weed, or any kind of plant, so i'm sure there's going to be a huge learning curve so I've decided to record my progress to get feedback from the experts.

I live in Australia so it's been difficult finding a lot of the products needed to grow quality. So, most products will be different, but still relatively the same.

Seeds : 4 x Super Lemon Haze
Style : Aeroponic / SCROG
Lights : Vegetative phase - 4 x 6500K 120W equivalent CFLs
Flowering phase - 8 x 2700K 120W equivalent CFLs
Nutrients : Amgrow's Nitrosol liquid plant food (designed for general gardening)
N - P - K : 10.5 - 2.3 - 6.8

Below is a picture of my set up



I have an intake fan (top left), an activated carbon filter (bottom right) taped to an exhaust hole, a fan for circulation, an aeroponic set-up with 4 spaces for plants (I cut 8 and got a bit ahead of myself but I could consider more plants next grow), and height adjustable lights.

For the aeroponic set-up, I have the single water trough with a submerged pump and a 360 degree water sprinkler above the water. I've read that high pressure misting is a much more effective way of getting nutrients to the roots but from what I can see, the roots will get plenty of water this way.

I will plant the seedlings in coco, in plastic cups, and then transfer these to the net pots and surround these by clay pellets (or equivalent, I'm having trouble finding something like this). I've read that coco tends to break down and fall into the reservoir and I think my best bet is to put something below and around the coco.

I have a hand made screen, for the SCROG, and is pictured below.

I've ordered seeds and should arrive soon and will be in the ground in the next few days.

Problems:

- nutrient solution will almost definitely be my downfall. I've read that Super Lemon Haze is very reactive to nutrients and not a whole lot is needed. What are the best NPK ratios for a beginner for vegetative and flowering phases?
-I'm not sure how far above the pots the screen should be. What is a suitable height?

If you guys can see anything wrong or if there are any suggestions, anything and everything is welcome.

Cheers

sorry to put a damper on things for u there man, but first thing you gotta change is that res. you need something that's black and light tight.the one u have there is goin to allow light through to the root zone, which being immersed in water is goin to cause all sorts of nasty molds and fungus.
they 'clay pellets' you're after are hydroton pebbles. they can be brought cheap from any garden store. far as your nute's go...don't know about seperate npk ratios soz, no doubt someone else might. thought from my experience with dwc i don't give the seedlings any nutes for the first week n a half-2weeks, besides some root stimulant(ie:canna rhizotonic) and after that aim for a PH of roughly 5.5-5.8(don't stress over it though, gradually adjust your ph over a couple of days and it stabilizes out)and aim for around 250ppm and work up to around 500 and see if they like it, if not, back off on them.

thanks for the reply. i didn't think about light getting to the roots but it makes sense that it shouldn't. i'll keep the rest in mind when i start, cheers for the advice!

no worries, goodluck!
