Seeds:4 (2 types of strains) Tote: 2x15 gallon (Planning to use one for DWC and another one with nutes ) Net Pots:3-inches(too small?) Grow Area:4x4 (Fits 2x15gallon totes with no spare room) Light:400w with air-cooled hood. Bulbs:600HPS+600MH( Or should I use 400MH for veg and 600HPS for flower?) Airstone:http://www.amazon.com/EcoPlus-728405-Round-Stone-Large/dp/B002JLA83C/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1396501208&sr=8-11&keywords=airstone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Questions: 1. Can I put 2 mixed strains in one 15 gal tote? 2. Would it be possibru for me to drop all 4 seeds(feminized) in one 15-gal tote? 3.How many airstones would be sufficient for 2 plants? and for 4plants?(If possible) 4.I'm using 3"net pots which I think is too small for them,any suggestions for the size? Thank you ^^
Hey there those are some good questions. 1. I wouldn't recommend mixing strains in a bucket. Every plant will have different needs. 2. Lots of people do this but the answer to 1 still applies. 3. It's not about the # of air stones you have. Its the amount of air you are pushing into the reservoir. What kind of air pump are you using and what is its "LPM?" I use a 70lpm pump with 8 ports pushing air into four 5 gallon buckets. 4. Netpot size isn't really all that important. Too small with too big a plant you run the risk of the net pot breaking. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1290525-400w-MH/HPS-mixed
I'll prob end up using both totes, 2 seeds per tote.. Figured it'll be easier but I have to buy another water pump T-T
