Old Hydro Kit... worth using?

    A family member heard my interest in growing and gave me this kit and a 250w MH light to use with it.

    Is the kit worth using at all for cannabis or any of the parts? I would think the reservoir is likely too small for MJ, but maybe use the pump and pots at least?

    Nothing came out of the box until today so everything should work fine.

    Thanks

  2. Light sounds like it will be of use. Idk about the multi plant one bucket idea but a 250 MH is gonna veg some nice plants. Do you grow hydro already.

  3. Not ideal at least not for the way I'm familiar with growing hydroponics.

    Some parts are usable like I think you have clay pellets and that may be an air pump or is that a small water pump?

    You may be able to grow a plant with that may be 2 plants but I wouldn't really wanna try. No recirculating water pump, no chiller. You could do a static deep water culture If you can keep the water temperature below 74 and may be dribble a little chlorine in there every few days.

  4. No, I haven’t grown anything yet, still assembling materials for first grow. Yea I figured the light will be great for veg tent at least.

    Plan on doing a coco grow first go around, but this was just given to me so a little curious to do some hydro experimenting as well.

  5. Coco is the shit, find a feed schedule and keep em wet. I would stay under 3 gal pots with coco indoor.
     
  6. Yea it’s an air pump and geolite clay pellets. I figured it wasn’t a good set up just curious. Thanks

  7. Right on! 3 gallon maximum? Why not go 5 gallon? Too big for tents?

  8. Cause you gotta water to runoff daily. Factor that in as well. The roots can fill coco out to the point its all roots.
