Hi everyone

First off i have been reading posts on here fo about 6 months and i am very impressed with the help and love shown on this site,so i decided to create an acct.to get alot of help from you guys and gals.I am very new to this so i dont know all the proper terms of everthing so bear with me.I have a 9x7 basement room with an Aeroflo2 30 site with 2 600w hps lights,and 35 og kush seeds. I will start posting pics as soon as the room is complete,but i have some questions that have been on my mind first off do i have to set up the lights with a fan and ducts?Second when i germinate the seeds can i use the jiffy pellets or rockwool things,and do i then put that right into the cups with the stones around it?Do i leave the pump on 24/7?I have a 100 questions racing through my mind everyday since ive started this venture.I will post pics of my room when its close to completion so yous can critique it and tell anything im missing or wrong about TY:?

get starter cubes (Rockwhool or rapid rooter), put seeds in, soak cube with appropriate ph'd water. Get a heat mat to put under your germination tray.

run pump 24-7.

when roots extrude from starter cube transfer them to 3" net pot. Hold cube at center of pot and fill pebbles around starter cube. Since starting from seed you will ned to raise the flood tubes up to the bottom of the 3" net pot at the begnining. When roots extend past the net pot you can lower the tube.

yea, I had all these questions when I came here and now they are all answered and I am all reved up!

Starting Aero. cubes, soak before putting seeds in overnight with pH 5 water. then when germing, 5.8 pH.

Aero pump timing, 1m on, 5m off.

Mixing nutes... put in special stuff, then grow and bloom. Its easier to add less and check PPM and add more than it is to take away. Always insure measuring math is correct!

from there all you need to do is insure temp, humidity is good. light light distance. crop techniques like super cropping or LST

Theres more but ill leave you with that.

I'm actually planning to get an aerogarden and start seeds in that (first using the paper towel method), and then take cuttings and put them in a home built cloner to check for fem's (flower clones - keep the aerogarden plants veged) and then just mass clone the females and take clones off the vegging clones until I have sufficient amount of plants.

In the Aero/Hydro section check HOW TO GET A POUND EVERY 3 WEEKS
