Sweet - do it!!!
You can make your 5 gallon bubble buckets using Rubbermaid or Sterilite containers from WalMart, just be sure to wrap any transparent parts in heavy black plastic. A 6" net pot for each container, a 12" airstone and heavy duty pump & you're in business. It's a very good idea to have individual containers for each plant in case you have to cull a male along the way, or need to rotate plants to even the lighting.
Buy an extra container, makes swapping nutes so much easier. Just mix new nutes in the spare, lift the lid off the old, move the airstone & lid / plant, project done. Within 60 minutes you should have monster buds.
Wait, my watch is broken, I'll get back to you on that last part....

Bestaluck to ya.

Oh yea my seeds r cracking thur haha

Sounds, (pics needed) like your on your way. Be VERY careful with the seeds once the tap root emerges. You do not need the filter right now, wait until the ladies begin to become tattle-tails... Every filter gets clogged at some amount of time, make it last as long as possible.
Read what Olde School has to say above.

YoYo's... are those Sunleaves adjustable tension hangers? Love mine.
Nothing more reliable than light duty chain link from Home Depot, and some S-hooks. But they can be a PITA to adjust. Pulleys work well too, any hardware store.
Bestaluck to ya.

Temps are 71 with 70% humidity...ph steady at 5.8 in one bucket 6.0 in other mist em in the morning...

How are your temps in there. I just bought a similar setup with the winged reflector and I've heard they are pretty crappy to keep cool. Are you having any issues?

Varies from 70-85 but were I live its 108 plus all week...i wanna buy a cool tube its worth it

I find the tubes are a bit shitty for reflection to b honest. I started on two and swapped them for rectangle air cooled hoods just after turning my frst run to flower.

How much did u get it for?

By the way my babies r sprouting 2nd set of leaves holy moly I see a huge difference each day so far

I was shocked how quickly my seedling grew. It's still a visible growth everyday!

How much did u get it for?

The hoods were bout £50 each bro

I told you its a visible growth....im impressed so far...and thanks for the info but ill probably get mine at a hydro store so idk if it will b that low...guess only way to kno is to call

Wen shood I move the lighting down from three feet?
