Alright so I've decided to start my own grow

Ive purchased the following things:
2 1" ceramic foggers
2 132 gph pumps
100 1/4" drip stakes
20' 1/4" tubing
10 Seedsman seeds White Widow via Attitude
2 Cabinets 72h x 22d x 28w
5 Plastic totes
2 1000w MH/HPS Cool tube setups via ebay
Gallon Set General hydroponics Flora Series
Spring Loaded Shears
5" Net Cups
10G Hydroton
Large sheet of Rockwool starter plugs
2 500 cfm inline fans

Im still waiting for alot of this stuff in the mail. It should all be to me by monday!!! I cant wait. Im currently growing some sour diesel that a friend of mine seeded, (he bought seeds online didnt know about m/f) I have a small cloning/seeding chamber I set up I will be moving these plants into the growing cabinets to start 12/12 once i have hps.

Im aware I need ph up/down some meters reflective material for inside the cabinet and some other things but ive exausted what i can spend for right now any suggestions on whats economical would be appreciated.

I also intend on using the fermentation method for Co2 Any feedback would be great

I also want to give some love to all the great people that have wrote amazing guides on here, Uncle Ben, xxninjaxx, math82003 and several others

Please note I know Im making the mistake of growing while building, but the sour diesel is really just tester plants for when i get my WW :mrgreen:

Could be nut burn. i see alot of that starts to happen from little spots when the end of the plant spots thats more of a heat issue. are you using any nuts yet. or just the soil atm

Alright so I have these two plastic cabinets that I bought, I purchased totes that fit inside of them. I have thought about still mounting the lights inside even tho if I do that it will be stationary. I also have two closets i could use (have two 1000w mh/hps cool tubes) one is 3'x5' and the other is 2'x8'. If the lights are mounted FAR away from the plants will they stretch bad? The cabinet is 25"w x 18"d x 72". Could I post the light at the top of those without the plants gunning for the sky???

the only way i can fit the tube in the closet is to strait pipe the hot air out, thus making the lights unmovable

I don't know exactly what Ur closet looks like... but the closer the better when it comes to lights.
so more fans then? and honestly a 1000w light should never make something stretch

So I have mounted one of the cool tubes in my 3x5 closet! I took the brackets from the shelf that was in the closet to mount 3/4 inch plywood to the ceiling. It gives me an incredible 8.5 ft from cool tube to floor at its highest setting.
