hello world!

Hey everyone, new member here and a grow noob to boot. I've been reading and reading and reading as much of the great info here that I can and wanted to finally stop lurking and start contributing!

This is my first grow in over a decade, but it's good to be back . So some basics of my painfully diy setup:
-3x3x4.5, extra small semi stealth grow in a Harry potter closet. The wife knows, nobody else though
-I am using a combination of a home made blurple [250 w @the wall] with cfl to bridge the spectrum gap. Hold your negative Led comments. If i could run hps i would.
-started germinating some mystery seeds in a sterilite tote with 4 netpots. Rockwool for seeds to germ and then placed in the nets with zeolite pellets and crushed quartz [like i said, painfully diy]for the substrate. I will be switching to hydroton for the next grow.
-using 1/3 - 1/2 strength genhydro trio per their schedule, keeping ppm under 400 until they ask for more.
-currently a top fed drip setup but moving the best of the best to buckets soon now that roots are hanging out

I have been using an app called "table notes" to keep track of my water quality, checking at least twice a day. Finally getting a hang of the titration curve. I adjust to low 5 and let it float up into the low 6s depending on when i check.

Anyway, I'll get some pictures up soon when I find out how to scrub the metadata. Thoughts or opinions welcome, just remember imma newb

Ok, here's a few shots of the setup.
And to head off the obvious:
-I know there is no headroom, the bucket top will be nearly flush with the bottom of what appears to be the floor but is a 3 foot high shelf.
- the filter is uber diy, but doable by most. Similar to a few others on here but I incorporated a cage layer with granulated activated carbon and used a bathroom vent for the fan. Time will tell.
-i planted two per block because... mystery seeds! I want to have a better chance at a female for cloning.

I got my babies in a bucket! Well 2 of them anyway.
