Final Check Before Purchase...

Ok, I've got my list alltogether... Let me know of if I've missed anything

LIGHTING:
600 watt HPS

POTS:
1-10 5 gallon Pots
Dixie Cups

SOIL:
Sunshine Mix #4

TESTERS:
PH Level, Soil & Liquid
Digital Air Temperature Thermometer
Humidity Tester
Water Measurement Tools
PUR Water Filter

ENVIRONMENTAL:
Dehumidifier
Small Heater
Small Fan

FERTILIZER:
5-55-17 Peter's Professional - Germination
20-20-20 RapidGrow Plantfood - Vegetative
5-50-17 Peter's Professional - Flowering

MISC:
Long Twistties (LST)

And of course, the seeds :P.

Misc Notes:

Small heater, its awfully cold here in the winter, but I'm growing upstairs, so it should be warmer. I just want to make sure they don't get too cold.

Do I need seperate PH devices for soil & Liquid?

Thats all, thanks guys

The list looks great mate, however I would not use any fertilization during germination or the first 2 weeks of the plants life. It feeds itself and you may chemically burn the babies roots. Will keep an eye out here . .

Yeah, I wasn't too certain about that, I read it in one of the guides. I have fluoride in the water here, so long as the ph is ok, and I germ at least half, I'll try one of them with the fluoride-ey water

I'm sure we do as well here, I just make sure all the water I use is pH neutral. I have to mix all my own as pH out of the tap is way too high.

For germination always use DISTILLED water lol. I actually attribute this to the germination problems I had when I first started. It's cheap and no unwanted stuff in it. I also read to use a small amount of bleach in the water as well. Keeps mold from growing during germination. I use like 2 drops per 16 oz. od water. I also use this combo when cloning.

Look forward to your progress
