Advice on my build

qballizhere · Feb 3, 2013

Hey everyone this will be my first grow in over 25 years. Damn It has been a long time and WOW things have changed!!!! Back then you just took bag seeds and had some light. Here is my plan for my setup let me know what you think!!!
My cabinet I based my plans on this design http://https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/370784-400w-alaskan-thunderfuck-scrog.html Started building it today.
I plan on going hydro and getting 8 plant dwc systems I have room for 2 in the flower chamber
I will have one in the mother side also. It also has room for clone are also
Lights I was going to go with http://http://www.thehydrosource.com/specials/600w-hps-digital-grow-light-system.html I know I will upgrade the hood soon.
I don’t know what I will be using to light the mother chamber? Any suggestions?

I will have my box in the garage. Right now I’m thinking the heat from the light will warm it up but I will still get a few fans and put them around. Let it run a few days and watch the temps.
Seeds I need to get some but have a few Durban poison from the disp.
I have no clue about nutes what to get any help would be appreciated !!

I will take pics tomorrow

Just a few CFLs will work great to veg, dont need anything fancy there. Cant help much on the nutes

There is a lot more than just that to flip over it has come a long way since I last grew anything. Hydroponics was just hitting the scene and people were flipping over it.
