So I've checked on my seeds and they are splitting and coming out. It's amazing how much easier commercial seeds are to germinate than bag seeds. I have one that has a root of about 1/4" coming out so I'm going to transport it to the rockwool cubes that I have. Right now those cubes are...

I put them in the paper towels and I'm just waiting to plant them! When I put them in a solo cup, can I use the same vermaculite/perlite combo that I'm going to use in the buckets? I'm trying to avoid using soil.

http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?p=583075#post583075 So I'm done with the grow room (above) and just got the seeds in today and I'm gonna try to do this. Not only is this my first time with marijuana, but I don't have any real gardening experience. But I do pay attention...

Getting some Northern Lights from Nirvana. When I read that they don't get too tall, low odor, high potency, hardy, and good with hydro it all made sense. I'm going to use hempy buckets for the grow. Will update as I get my seeds going.

I finished my new grow room which addresses all the serious vent/light concerns that I had, and should be primed and ready to grow good bud. I can't post urls yet, and I can't post the same pics in separate threads, so you'll have to go to the Grow Room Setup and Design forum under "First Grow...

I finished my first grow room today. It is 6'x3', please check and make sure everything is set to grow great bud. For the walls, I put up 4mm black landscaping plastic. I tacked mylar to all the interior walls. I also put a tent door zipper on it so I can get in and out easily. I have a...

Lots of updates, I decided to go with the "Hempy Bucket" method for my 6 plants, which was a great, simple suggestion I found in this thread. I bought 1 600W HPS lamp/reflector, and am going to enclose my room in black landscaping plastic. Then I'm going to put mylar around the walls. I have...

Based on the advice of hemp goddess (thanks for your help btw) I've found a system that has 8 separate sites and everything included, we just add the perilite rocks and the bud. I will start the seed in soil for about 2-3 weeks Under my flouros in the closet, and then transplant it. I found a...

Also, can I partition the other two walls with a dropcloth and attach 2ml Mylar to it? I'm lost as to how to build the other two walls, and I want something that I can move if I expand. The tent would do it, but if I could spend that two hundred bucks on some exhaust equip, I think I'd be...

So I've had people suggest dwc and ebb and flow, andit seems that ebb and flow is easier. What are the pros and cons of using the 3x3 tub as opposed to a system with individual pots? What size pots should I use? There are some 2 and 3 gallon pots, is 2 enough? Are there any ventilation...

Yeah, the temp and the humidity are concerning me. I think a tent might be helpful in keeping it warm and dry enough. That would end up costing about the same as adding a dehumidifier and a space heater...

I've decided to do it in the basement (picture below). There are two white walls, so I plan to build a couple short walls (5-6') on the other two sides and put mylar around the walls. I will have one large fan blowing up over the plants and out for ventilation. The guy at the hydroponic store...

Actually, the more I'm reading these replies the more I'm thinking that I would be better doing this in our basement. I'm just bad with anything engineering-wise. Are there any recommended videos on how to create a simple grow area in my basement? Or a completed kit that is easy to use...

$1000 is gonna be more than I'm looking to spend, and I also want to avoid drilling any new exhaust fans for the closet. Are there any systems for ventilation that are self-contained? This doesn't have to be an expensive grow, I'm really just looking for something basic. I will plan on...

Great advice, I will be going for 2 600-watt hps then, since my room dimensions are about the same as yours. Researching online it looks like they are about $200/ea with the ballast included, is that about right? And as far as intake and exhaust, there are no vents in this room so it is...
