Thanks MaineYankee,Hey Bluntski and welcomeIt sounds like we have your "Tent" in common. I know that I love my craftsmanship, and I can just bet that yours is just fine also. These forums are great, but this one is the very best as far as having a broad range of experienced growers who, if they have all of the vital information given, will usually reply in a matter of minutes, if the situation warrants itself to be that dire of an emergency. With 21K of lumens, I would think that your girls must be the "Light of The Party" inside your tent!
Best of luck to you and your grow(s). It sounds like you are well on your way.
Peace and Happiness

I always smoked, but I never imagined growing could be so much fun! I can't wait to smoke my own work!

Hello.
This is my first post, and wanted to say hi to everyone here.
I'm new to this whole thing.
I just started to order some equipments to start the process of growing.
So far I ordered:
Versa-Grow Hydroponics system - 10 Site
http://www.nehydro.com/hydroponics-kits/complete-systems/versa-grow-hydroponics-system-10-site/
Dark Room 120. 48" x 24" x 63.6"
http://www.nehydro.com/grow-tents/darkroom-120w/
I leave in an apartment so I have to keep it small for now.
What do you guys/girls think so far.
Also what do you recommend for the light system? I was thinking about getting a 400w HPS MH grow light system.
Cool tube with a small reflector. Found one online for $167.90 but it's a 6'' size don't know if that would fit my tent.
I've been reading some of the threads here and I found that I need hydroton for the hydroponic system,
I'm still not sure what grow medium (rapid rooter, rockwool 1") to use yet.
I currently have $260.00 to buy anything else that I may need until next week when I get paid.
So what do you suggest?

If this is your first grow, you really have your work cut out for you with the hydro system. I wish you the best of luck! I would suggest growing in soil, at the very least, your first round. It is a lot easier. Not nearly as many variables and things that could go wrong. Soil growing is a good way to get the hang of the basics before movng to more advanced growing methods. Either way, just remember to have fun and don't get discouraged if things don't go perfect the first few times.

Hey KaKaZu and welcome As NaNook stated, Soil is more forgiving for a beginner, but if you do not mind that you may have issues with Hydro, you will do just fine. Soil is just a little bit more easier than Hydro. But that is behind you, for you stated that you had already ordered your tent, and system. Just wondering, is it possible that you could cancel the order? The reason being, if you have never grown, you may not quite like it after your first grow. I do not want to discourage you, but rather just tell you it's not just an easy cake walk either. That being said ... let's move on with what you ask ...
The system and tent look good, and you are using a dealer that is reputable. I believe the light unit that you are looking at is (1) a good choice <400 watt HPS /MH> and I believe 6 inches will fit in your tent with no issues. You will need Hydroton, and make sure you wash that out good at least two times with water before using them.
One of the most important things you will need is a good ph meter. On this, especially with Hydro systems, do not scrimp and get one (just to get by). Get a good one. I like the one from the same company that you are using so far, in that they have what I would recommend for ph testing ( Hanna waterproof Digital ph meter $99.95.) If you are doing Hydro, i would also get this (Milwaukee Waterproof Martini EC/TDS Meter with temp. $89.95) These are 2 tools that you will def need for a successful grow.
Trust me when I say this please. I only want you to succeed. Read, Read, and more reading if possible. Be like your plant and absorb as much information as possible. We are here to help you as much as possible. If you run into any questions, please write down as much detailed information as possible, so that we can dial in on the issue that you may have, and give you a definite answer. Also, a picture is worth a thousand words. If you can, post a pic ( with the lights off) so that we can see what the issue is.
Outside of that Welcome, and I, as well as others, wish you the very best in your new "Hobby". I am looking forward to seeing some great posts with pics along your Journey.
Peace and Happiness

Hi Jason and Welcome to RollItUp
I will let a more seasoned veteran take a stab at what you want to do, as I was never too good in the laws of physics.I can however, welcome you and hope that I, as well as my fellow members, get to see some great posts and pictures of your Journey as you delve into our Hobby that we share here. I would also kindly suggest that you take this sort of question, and possibly ask it under the sub-forum "Grown Room Design and Set-Up". Some members here, are more fine tuned with just a few sub-forums, than looking at all of the general ones in the Main forum.
Again, best of luck, and Welcome Jason
The MaineYankee

Good Morning Done and Welcome to RollItUp
As I just explained to Jason from a previous post, you may want to ask that type of question under several sub-forums ... Aerogarden or Nutrients. There are members that look only at those sub-forums, than those posted here in the Main Forum.I am sure that once you post that question, you will get a reply a lot faster than here. I, along with other members here on RIU, wish you all the very best in your quest to grow. We are here to help you out as much as possible. The only thing that we ask of you, is to tell us as much information as possible concerning it. Pictures too (without lights on) are worth their weight in gold, as then we also can see what the issue is, and then can dial in correctly, and then give you the very best advice for you to continue your hobby.
Again, Welcome and Enjoy. Wishing you all the very best ...

Hi Everyone, I am working on my first indoor grow. I posted a question this morning in the Indoor forum: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/502047-indoor-flowering-stage.html.
I've been reading a lot of interesting things here and I am grateful that there are so many people willing to help out!

Hello Everyone
I'm acid whore, as the name suggests. I am currently waiting on the delivery of my order from Hemp Depot of 5 Automatic Fruit seeds. I have attempted 2 previous grows from dealer strains and they all fell over and broke before reaching 5 inches in height. I eat and live organically (no pesticides, chemicals, etc) and will be growing this way. If anyone has any advice on this particular topic it would be greatly appreciated. My fiance and I are excited to learn this, been waiting for this for a long while. Now that we are somewhere safe it's time!!
We are very friendly and open minded people, don't be shy

hello all friends of the green. i'm a first timer at this and i'm quite excited about getting into my new hobbie/project. i've been doing lots of research online, talking to people that have and are doing it. got a book today(the growers bible). so here we go!
just finished putting the floor of the down in the loft. gonna start insulating tomorrow(rockwool type stuff between the rafters and plaster board on the pitched roof). then i'm gonna build the room(alot of people say a room within a room is better to control temperature and humidity). also, to keep in any escaping heat. saw a video on youtube about the pork choppers in the sky using FLIR(forward looking infra-red) cameras, and you can blatantly see the difference of heat between the roofs.
so has anyone got any advise as to which materials to use to build the room? MDF or ply? 4x2 or 2x2 for the frame? how many outlets to cut? all advise will be mucho appreciated! one step at a time.
