Hello and welcome to my very first grow journal. This is my first time growing anything, so I hope it all goes well!
I'm a complete novice when it comes to hydroponics, but I want to give it a shot anyway. I'm a fast learner so I'm hoping I'll be able to catch on before I murder too many plants! Anyway, down to business. Here's my setup:
x2 600w HPS Ushio HiLUX GRO Bulbs
x2 Cool Sun Reflectors
240v Lumatek Dual Ballast
x8 40w Fluorescent Lights (for vegetation)
6" 452cfm Vortex Inline Fan (w/ 6" Ducting)
66 CAN Carbon Filter
RO Filtration System
The room is still under construction atm, heres a few pictures so far:

I have my Veg closet briefly set up, with my 12 clones under light. There are 6 Full Moons, 3 Chrystals and 3 BlackJacks. I just got them yesterday (at a very good price)! Here are a few pictures:

I've noticed a few of them look a bit sickly, but I hope they'll turn around. I'm going to transplant them to the 5 gallon pots pretty soon. I'll chose my 3 strongest and keep them as mothers (hopefully 1 of each strain, if the BJ's pick up some speed). I've also got some full moon feminized seeds I'm want to germinate, but I won't even think about that until I get the transplanting done.
After I get a little more work done, I'll update here again. Later guys.
