Veggie Setup
I went to Home Depot to buy 2x2x8 boards and built a box that was 5 H, 3 W, 3 D. $20 Then got black garden plastic, the kind thats just a flat role and tacked that up around the box. $10. 2x 24 inch Flourescent tubes 24W@64000k $27 ea (I will need one more for clones) Rockwool for seedlings $9 for like 30 and $5 for mid size plants like 6. Mature plants get the little pretty red rocks cost like $15 a bag. I only bought 2 so far. 1x regular storage ben from Walmart for $8 water pump $11 and tubing. Timers FYI they are cheaper at Target. OK heres the operation. I put holes in the top of the storage ben's rop and set my plants on top so that when the water pump , pumps water to the plants the excess water drains back into the tub. Every couple of days I check the Ph level, and add ph up or down to keep it around 6.0. Follow the chart for plant food. Pro Blend 3 2 1.
Now I cant take all the credit for my setup cause i just watched youtube and tweeked it a little. Heres a link for you to watch also.
