So ima try my hand at this. My setup is gona be basically how the pic looks. Ima use an aquarium to grown in. Let the plants float on top an fill it with nutrients. I'm new to the grow world so any help would be great. I don't know what kinda light I should get. This is one of those "I'm growin in my parents house" things. I have an empty room upstairs for this. Any kind of equipment recomindations would be a big help. I'm not gona grow any big time strains just some mid grade seeds I've collected from my dealers.
You are gonna want to cover all of the glass somehow. You do not want any light getting into the roots. Also keep in mind you have to check PH and PPMs daily so make sure there is an access place.

Just got the ph stuff so I'm good there. What kinda light should I use?
Use foil tape on the outside. There are a lot of options for lights. I have a 600w MH/HPS. FYI im not an expert. First grow here

Mines getto as hell compared to yours lol you must have some nice ass plants huh?
You don't need all of that. I just had the money at the time so I spent it. The last page has pictures from yesterday.
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Rule of thumb for lights...I think you want 50-100 watts per square foot floor space.[/quote] Cool cool that's good to know cuz I'm really just growin out of a closet in an unused room. About how many weeks does it start to stink real bad? That's the only problem ill have lol
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Are you growing a breeder seed or a seed from a bag???[/quote] A fat bag of popcorn seeds I've collected from the many dealers I've bought from. I wana practice on these until I got it down then order some really good strains to grow
General hydroponics. Flora-grow, flora-micro, flora-bloom are the main 3. Koolbloom and floranectar are added during flowering. But like I said this is my first grow. I learned from Jakester and TeSmp
I would use totes or buckets instead of a tank. Each plant will be different and will need different nutrient strengths. I'm using hydroponics.
