High everyone this is my first post so bear with me...
first ill give you a little description of my setup (pics when i get home)
Ive got a 55"x55"x72" tent with
2 lumatek 1000w digital dimmable ballasts with mh and hps bulbs
2 "xl" hoods (theyre 22"x30" with 8" vents but no glass and 1 glass holder is gone)
Ive got 1 large indica dominate thats in her 2nd week of flower(or close to it she was vegged outdoors till sexing)
Ive recently setup an 8 site hydro setup like the folowing
9 5gal buckets with the center being the control
10" net pots with hydroton
35gal res with a 250gph mag drive pump and another in the control bucket for return
res has the largest air stone i could find and each of the 8 sites has a small air stone as well as theres about 3/4 to an inch of water after the drain.
Feed and drain are 3/4" and theres 2 drains per bucket with 4 in the control.
The feed goes to a rain drip 8 way adjustable splitter to 1/4 in drip rings.
I have 2 digital timers for both pumps and was going to time it so the feed turns on for 15min to feed then i was going to let the nute solution sit for 30 min with the bubbles running the whole time, then at the end for 15min pump everything back to the res.
I have a general organics go box for nutes but dont have any ph up/down but heard i could use vinager and baking soda... Is this true???
Now for some questions
My setup has properties of dwc, ebb and flow, drip, and wick systems.
Which is it considered???
i currently only run 1 light at 750w with a lasko u12100 fan on 8" duct to the light and 8" venting out and my temps stay around 78-82 if i run the light at night. For veg i know light is 18/6 so it will have to be on during daylight. If i get the glass for the hood and hook another fan to the tent with a passive exhaust and a filter should i be alright to run a mh at 1000w and be ok???
How would i run co2 with all the air from the fans sucking it all out???
Sorry for the long post but im getting excited!!!
keep tokin
