This is not my original post, i changed it to make finding what my exact setup is easier. Pictures of my setup are below.
Alright so i have a little bit more time on my hands and i wanted to describe my setup.
DWC: originally i was gonna buy a kit off of stealth hydro but decided for cost and other reasons to build my own.
The pots are about an inch into the water at the moment, i might change that but i didn't want the rockwool sitting in the water because i heard you don't want to drown the seedlings. I went with germinating the seeds in rockwool because i've seen a lot of people do that on here and the guy at the store told me to.
Lights: I pretty much ripped the stealth hydro design off, i even found some 65 watt lights with 10.5 inch reflectors at menards. Good news is that they were only 25 bucks per set meaning i could even get a third one for the price of stealth hydro's lights...which i am definitely going to do.
Nutrients: I'm going with Foxfarm Big Grow for hydroponics and Tiger Bloom. I've heard great things about this stuff so i'm looking forward to seeing the results myself. I'm also happy to support a responsible company like Foxfarm.
I just started germinating my seeds (White Widow) so i've got my fingers crossed. If you think i'm doing something wrong let me know. If you scroll down you'll see a couple other people have already let me know i'm an idiot.
