Good morning every one
I know I am new to the form so I hope that you will have a bit more patience with me this morning. I am not stoned and there for not a happy camper. Since I went into forced retirement I have not have the money to stay as happy as I would like and plan on remedying that with a bit of help from my friends. As soon as possible. Work has started on a new grow room and am in the process of early design with all the usual setbacks. I know this is not the right form but if a bunch of old farts can’t understand another old fart that is computer illiterate and confused with early onset dementia. I guess no one can. What was the question again? O yes I am wanting to do a hydro system and have never tried this before, always a dirt farmer and although I can find a lot on hydro it all is getting jumbled up in my head as to what I really need. I was not kidding about the early onset of dementia. It makes things very annoying at times. I am from a get it done DIY mentality.
Any how I have 6 foot wide 7 foot high 12 foot deep room to work with. This is the max. Dimensions at this time. At a later date I can go to a bigger room but for now that is it. The intent is 3g to 6g a day continuous grow. I want to go with a flood and drain. Thinking 5 gal. Buckets, would anyone be willing to give me step by step instructions?
Do I need a shallow tray table to start the process or should I just use buckets to start? How many plants for 1000 watt light to start? I have lighting on hand from 250 watt to 2500 watt both HPS and Metal Halide. In just about any combination. I also have all the trimmings for a grow room but 0 experience with hydro and a limited although hopefully long time to still enjoy the hobby.
I am not to computer literate so for now no pics but if it is a must I will figure it out. PM would be great but a group would be good. I just don’t want to waste everyone’s morning.
Thanks to all.
