First hydroponic setup
    #26717286 - 06/03/20 04:53 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

I had some old bagseeds that I germinated with the paper towel/plastic bag tek. Only one sprouted, but a plant is a plant, amirite? Somebody also gifted me some schwag that had more seeds in it too. So I went to the local hydro store to pick up some supplies, and I'm kinda plotting out how I'm going to do this.

I actually already had one of those Taotronics 240w bulbs, but the shop owner said not to expect much from it. The supplies I bought today are: Biodome, Cocotek A/B, sponge media, 2" and 3" netpots, and clay pellets. I'm planning on sprouting some more seeds and maturing the seedling in the biodome, along with some morning glories with sponge media. Once they have matured. I will transplant to the netpots and grow them in 3g buckets filled with clay. I am going to build a recirc system and get a grow tent once they are bucketed.

What's your take on the light?
How much would you water the biodome? Shop owner said under 1/4"
How do you maintain grow temps, or do you just do room temp?
How do you keep the smell down? Carbon filter?
Do you use CO2?
Any tips/suggestions for me?

Thanks

I played with hydro for fun and didn't care for it. If this is your 1st grow I'd recommend going soil or soiless media like coco coir. As far as your specific questions:

Light - depends entirely on how many plants and how much square footage as well as head space. A 1000w hps bulb is great for 9-12 5gallon pots taking up 16sf (4x4 tray). You can go with 600w for 4-8 plants.

Biodome - you mean a clone dome for seed starting and clones right? I'd recommend using rockwool cubes for starting your plants and just keep them wet. When ready you can put the cube in your net pot with hydroton. They hold a lot of water and never need to be in a puddle. I would advise against having pooling water anywhere to avoid bugs and mold (your reservoir is the exception beacase it's oxygenated and flows constantly).

Temps - this is the biggest bitch for indoor gardeners. You may need an ac of some kind depending. If you vent your hoods temp is easier to deal with. Some environments will be fine with just ample fresh air exchange. Just need to play it by ear.

Smell - yeah carbon filter or marinate in the smell if it doesn't bother anyone. The filter setup can be used in such a way that it can help with your fresh air exchange too.

Co2 - meh. I've used it in tanks, fruited a shit load of mushrooms in my flower rooms and done a propane burner. Waste of money for a personal grow.

Closing statements. Don't over think it. Don't be fooled by the marketing you don't need 10 bottles of magic potions to grow good cannabis. I use 1 veg and 1 bloom bottle only. Organic is always better. Use natural biologics to take care of pests. Start with 1 or 2 strains only till you learn the ropes. Have fun!

I agree. I'd return all that stuff and grow soil organic.
