Hi also new here but ive been growing in soil for a while, now im trying my hand at hydroponics.
Well i started with this
2 10 gallon fish tanks
2 10" air stones
7 cups in each
1 big air pump
8 40w compact flourescents at 1600lumens each
perlite
exhaust fan
75*/ 65% humidity
5-10-5 water soluible fertilizer
ph levels vary from 6.4-6.8
how does this setup sound? this is a water culture system, I already germinated the seeds and planted them in the perlite, this is my second day hoping to see a sprout by the end of the week. Any tips and advice is welcomed as this is my first try after lots of reading. Also down where i'm from we dont have to much grow shops its either walmart or homedepot, so what else can i use as nutrients in the water? will the soil fertilizer break down enough in the water?
