I Need a Hydroponics System
    #5375834 - 03/07/06 08:47 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I'm about a week away from ordering my White Widow seeds (all feminized, of course) and I really can not find a hydro system that seems sufficient. I have atleast 3 or 4 hundred dollars to spend on one but I can't find one that doesn't seem like a piece of shit.

I've searched all the forums and all the posts and theres only one site I found but it only had plans to growing hydroponic veggies and fruits. If anybody could link me to a couple of hydro system products I'd really appreciate. Thanks guys

DWC buckets are great if your not too restricted on space, you'll be amazed at the amount of growth you get.

well hat site has some diy ballast info too.

i was thinking about buying on of these:
http://www.1000bulbs.com/category.php?category=22
Kits include mounting bracket, ignitor, capacitor, and ballast
they have them from 35 watt up to 1000 watt.
cheaper that commercial ballasts, and easier than wiring parts together.
then you can construct a reflector.
the have MH too.

fuck, i really wish someone had all the pics from the OG faq.

Okay, so you're growing hydro...

First off, make sure you buy yourself a good HPS light set up.
Then, MAKE SURE YOUR VENTALLATION IS GOOD! HPS lights put out a lot of heat. If you dont ventillate properly, your plants will fry.

Dont let it happen to you.

Other than that, keep your fucking mouth shut, and keep odor under control (carbon filter/scrubber should work. If you're still worried, maybe rock an ozone generator at the end of the exhaust, but a carbon scrubber should work fine) and you should be good :smile:

P.s. WW is one hell of a strain. Should be some good smokes :cool:

going hydro, you should invest in a very good PH meter, not some cheapy

there was a member on OG called "bushy old grower" or bog for short, i i have a 15kb text file written by him, its got a lot of basic stuff but its pretty good info, its weird i specifically saved it cuz i had a weird feeling that OG might not always be available. if anyone wants
to read it, PM me and i will email it or send it to you in an IM or something...

with a budget of 300-400 dollars and absolutely zero supplies or pot growing experience...i'd recommend dirt growing. I had high hopes of getting into hydro a few months ago but I read and read and understood that my budget wouldn't allow for hydro. Also, the failure rate of hydro is higher than soil because soil is easier to grow in for the average newbie. go soil, then when you have experience and more $$, invest in hydro.

side note...how reliable is 1000bulbs merchandise? I've heard they sell re-furbished units salvaged from industrial applications. Is this true? I've also heard that their products have a tendency to fail more often than straight from the manufacturer ballast/bulb systems. Anyone use 1000bulbs and are satisfied with them?

no amount of chemisty/biology/horticulture education will prep you nless it's hands on.
I did a 2 year horticulture course then tried to grow hydro from scratch. Failed miserably.
DWC is probably the best set up/
growing pot is all about trial and error. And a lot of research

regarding lights, if anything you're best off buying a 600 watt HPS ballast. The amount to lumens to price is the best at this range, basically you get the most bang for your buck this way. Buy a hortilux bulb that has a nice red spectrum as well, the light will work for both flowering and veg (even tho techincally a MH is better for veg and the HPS best for flowering), but when it comes down to it you're going to really want the HPS when you start flowering.

You can also go out and buy a 48 inch fluro ballast and three bulbs for it for 19 bucks at lowes. Get one cool light, one warm light, make sure they're the 40 watt t12 lights. These work great for seedlings and small plants as they dont put off much heat, you can have the plants almost touch the light, and they're cheap and readily available.

Good luck man, im on my first actual grow right now. Ive been reading about this shit for years but it all goes out the window once you actually start growing lol. I agree with whomever said start with soil. It'll save you money, make life easier on you, and produce some nice looking and tasting buds.

Good luck man!
