Welcome to my wall, please feel free to look at my albums or anything else you like. if you have a question i might help with hit me and I will see what I can do. I am a 2nd generation Humboldt dirt farmer that has gone indoors and said bring on the hydro and have a water party.
i would suggest that rather than adding moisture with the humidifier (since you risk mildew if to damp) would be restrict your air flow (if you are running a res. hydro system) if you are doing waste to drain then i would just get a large sponge keep it wet in a dish in front of your fan should...
if your going to go led do the stealth grow. has the most power out right now and does the closest to replacing a 1000's but still has major penetration problems into the canopy so will require rigorous pruning shed. and maybe an additional light to get the right effect in your plants
bro potassium bicarbonate will destroy any mildew and does not hurt your plants they can uptake it and helps them. i do a preventive spray with it on a regular shed.
I have my 215 card and 9 mo. ago started a grow with some friends. i have been a soil farmer all my life and this has been my 1st shot at hydro, and I must say I am a convert and these hands wont see dirt.
