This is my 1st grow, i am have approx 7x9 area. I may have to take it to 6x9

I plan on getting 10 white rhino and 10 nyc diesel clones and ordered 3 fem burmese kush, 5 fem blue cheese, and 10 top 44 skunk from the single seed centre, 5 days ago...

I will be using dwc 5gal bucketts, 6 inch netty pot, 6 inch long airstones, sure to grow 6in inserts. Sensi Pro 2 part veg and bloom, coniseur.

Thinking about using Liquid Karma too!?!?

I have 2 1k watt set up two XXXL 8" reflectors, with switchable ballast, and will place the lights 3 to 4 feet apart and am considering a light rail.

I am not for sure what bulbs i want to use.

I can get the Hortilux dual arc bulbs, which claims to be i need b/c its HPS and MH. for 169$ each

Or get 2 hortilux blues for veg 169$ each and the 2 super hps bulbs for bloom 89$ each.

Does anyone have any experience with the hortilux dual arc bulb?

would it be better to just get the blue and then the super hps?

Also how many plants should i put in my grow area, they will be 5 gal bucketts and i will veg and bloom all plants at the same time so no need for seperate room?

Should i use the long air stones or the circular air pads?

When i start the plants how much of the root should be in the nutes?

When the plants start to thrive how much should i fill the bucket full of nutes?

Please advise i am super excited and hope to be successfull !!! HAPPY NEW YEAR:bigjoint:

Well on 5 gallon dwc I would use 3 to 3 and a half gallons of water in the bucket. As for the air I actually like the sunleaves 3 ft air fuses. Form them into a s shape good amount of bubbles from them. I use the lucas method with general hydroponics micro and bloom.
