First off... Constructive Critisism is always welcome. Im new to this indoor stuff, so im sure this will be filled with mistakes and thats alright
Gotta learn somehow right. So my "stealth" is a dresser. I cut it all apart, gutted it, Lined it with printer paper, (ghetto yeaaaa i know its ok im poor) and glued the front of the dresser back together so it looks normal. Current girl is Autobomb. Automatic obviously. its on 24/0 for a couple weeks until its a little more healthy and big (just planted today) and as soon as its about 7" or maybe 8" ill switch it to 18/6. My lighting is all CFL, again im poor so dont give me shit about that lol. 4 x 1500 lumens of 5000k (only thing Lowes had) and 2 x 2600 lumens of 2700k. When flowering comes around i have 2 more of the 2700 bulbs and they will replace the 5000k. So were lookin at 10,400 Lumens for flowering. That should be efficient enough
.

My DWC is just a 5gallon lowes bucket, air pump, air stone, hose, you know the deal. Basic easy to do. NO nutrients for a couple weeks. When its gets healthy (in growth) enough i will start SLOWLY adding nutrients in. probably just the GH nutes. Pictures will be up tonight when i get home.

Curious to see how people ususally start DWC off.... I germinated the seed in just a cup of water, it soaked up lots and dropped to bottom. So i tossed it in rockwool and ill hand water it until its roots can touch water. approx 2" above water is the pot. So far thats all i got! Let me know waht you guys think!!

no nutes sounds like a horrible idea.
you might want to reconsider that a couple of weeks of DWC is alot. its not like a couple of weeks in soil.
