these are my key elements. the things im paying attention to am i missing anything. and im going to make this more formal and neat when i sober up. so it will be super nice before the actual grow start. which im hoping will be early december

tub set up- based upon the
https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/22362-30-minute-6-plant-aero.html
from another post its a great set up
this is a fully automatic aeroponics unit that has 10 netpots.

pump- im getting a pump that has 315 gph
net pots- 3 inch? to small?
water source? sink sadly purified of course
water temp? can afford to do much about that other than thank god its winter
air stones- need that oxygen on them roots!
O2 pump? dunno much about air pumps....
nutrients- dunno much about this other than i was gonna by a mix and follow the instructions on it
seeds-http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/white-widow-seeds-60-c.asp

1000w ballast-http://www.discount-hydro.com/productdisp.php?pid=660&navid=57
was thinking this dunno if it works or not
bulb- 1000w HPS if someone knows the best brand let me know
ventalation-6-8 inch fans one on it one exiting bulb
inline fan- 6-8 inch fan
outbound fan-same facing out
cool air- winter ownz
outbound fan place to blow hot air- proboly out into the attic or a small add on to the box with a small hole near the top
ceiling mount- eventualy a bigger longer box with a 9' light mover until then need somewhere to hang the light
mylar- to reflect the fuck outta my light
2 small 6'' mountable fans to blow over my stems for bigger stronger trunks
carbon filter- to eliminate wonderful odors
UV lights to make more THC

( to build the grow box) L48xW48xH?? dunno how high to make it yet
osb/plywood
2x4s
drill
saw

18 hour light w/timer - need something to simulate 18 hours veg then 12 for flower
18 hour Co2 tank w/timer same as light
humidifier-get the proper humidity night and day(if anyone has numbers or graphs or any info on this let me know plz)
dehumidifier- humidity is an important thing to maintain
temperature hot/cold ac unit maybe? not sure yet might just use winter's cold/radiator or a little space heater

grow plan (keeping the resivour at the right amount of water and ppm with nutrients (changes as they grow anyone with graphs on this info let me know plz)
2-4 weeks veg - 8 weeks flower all depends entirly on my babys. i have never grown aeroponics before
toping the plants when they reach a certain height im thinking right after they get all there leafs on there branches and get like 2 nodes above that then maybe again one more time if need be

o and im planing on growing my plants with my light very low and with 2 uv lights on the corners or maybe like crown molding is to a room on either top side of the room and have maybe 2-4 more T5 24'' or 48'' depending on there placement in the end for extra light in areas that dont get much

if anyone knows any CHEAP ways of getting Co2 plz let me know that would be awesome

What are you using to secure the plants that keep the light out of the root zone?


Im finishing my Veg box when the lights arrive but I have yet to figure out what to use. Once things get under way Ill post a thread.


As for the CO2 issue Im looking at using a ultra sonic mister and regular sparkling water, based on pic 3
