This is my first post so to start I just wanted to say hi to all the members. I've gotten a lot of good information from this site.
I am in the process of getting a grow license for a person who has MS. The license will most likely be for 15 plants because that is what their previous grower had. From what I gather that means a total of 30 plants to cover vegging time and flowering, while 15 plants are allowed to to be in flower.
Equipment I have:
1 400w MH, a double valence with a 1000w HPS and another 400w MH, 7 or so water pumps, about 50 5 gallon buckets, 4 exhaust fans, 4 carbon filters, cloning equipment, PH tester, 2 timers. I think thats it. I bought the gear from another grower. I need a few more things like for testing ie. thermostat, humidity meter, etc.
MY idea was to have two flower rooms (when I get another HPS light most likely a 600w) with 7 plants each, and a veg room for 2 mothers/clones/vegging plants. I would stagger the flower period at a month so in theory I could harvest around the end of every month. I was thinking of doing Scrog. Room is not a problem, have a full basement.
My questions:
1. What is a PPM meter and is it necessary?
2. What would be a good growing medium to use with the buckets
3. what type of hydroponic setup would be best/easy? Im thinking water farm
4. How big should room sizes be for 7 plants in scrog method? I was thinking 5'x5' with the lights I have
5. should I even bother with doing scrog?
Any suggestions or comments or alternative methods would be great.
Cheers
