I've absolutely no idea... why not ask someone who's grown using hydro? This is my first ever grow using soil and my first choice was shiva seeds... i may try others later but for now it seemed to fit my conditions perfectly. I would advise reading up on what seeds suit the conditions you're growing in, other than that I can't advise you on something I know nothing about... sorry!

Just read through your adventure man. I love this journal, you had some troubles at first, but perservered and it's looks like you got some real nice buds in the end. Fair play to ya! 
Look forward to more pics.
I'm just starting my first grow using an envirolite, so I found yours very interesting. Cheers mate.

yeah could you post some pics. you said cut a hole in your growroom door. What if i just what to put the growroom in a regular room no special door set aside for the grow room just the door that leads into the room and just the plants in the corner, would i put a hole in the wall then or what?
I did mine like this because it suited my purpose. I needed to grow mine outdoors in my garage so it made sense for me to build a small growroom that was self contained, with lighting venting etc all built in which is why I adopted this method of installing the extractor so it could 'through a duct' suck fresh air into the room from outside.
If you are literally growing your plants in a corner of a main room I don't see why you couldnt produce a successful grow by having normal fans blowing and circulating air over your plants constantly. I would suggest you try just using normal fans mate. It seems to me there are plenty of people on this site that have grown successfully like this.
The only benefit of mine is that it's sucking in fresh air from outside rather than circulating stale air.

nice buds man. surprised how well uve taken care of them.
wow man... i read your epic, and am completely and thoroughly impressed...
seriously wow
I just planted two germinated seeds each in two small pots. my grow "room" is an 3 foot high cardboard box with an open... they're under the light already and i'm hoping that they'll grow...
I only have a small cfl, but i lined the box in aluminum foil to try to maximize the ammount of light reflected onto my hopeful plants
do you think i stand a chance?

Cheers man, thanks for your kind words. First, anything is possible so be positive about it and don't be afraid to keep modifying and improving your grow room... a few things i would advise are:
1. make sure you get at least one fan circulating air on your stems, makes them nice and strong.
2. get into a good watering routine and invest in a moisture meter and ph tester.
3. check moisture levels and ph levels regularly... I did this every morning of every single day of the grow.
4. the aluminium foil... not sure... i know mylar is better if you can get hold of it, but you need to be careful with foil as if it gets too creased it can reflect light incorrectly. I opted for white wood as it's very reflective. Up to you though.
5. remain positive at all times!!!!
Thanks again buddy!
you bet i am! thanks man!gorgeous buds ... only a couple more weeks, bet you're salivating
thanks man will do. i have the fan i took out of an old humidifier in there and it circulates air well, but i'm concerned about my temperature. with the light it falls around 72-74 degrees F, but i think i may have to try to heat things up a bit just to be on the safe side. what do you think? i've heard 85 was optimum.
(p.s. what do you guys in the UK use, Farenheit or Celcius, for i am merely a poor uneducated american on the east coast...)
