Ok first time grower here. I'd like to start out by thanking all of the Deep Water Culture, especially Roseman, for all of the knowledge shared. After reading and following Roseman's DIY Deep Water Culture Tutorial and much more for the last couple of months I am almost ready to start my first grow. I have attached lots of pics. The cabs interior is 50" tall by 30" wide by 21" deep, painted entirely flat white.
For lighting I made a DIY CFL light out of pvc and metal flashing hanging from a chain for easy movement. I have eight 42 watt cfl's, starting with six 5100's and two 2700's and then going to the opposite. I will also have 2 clamp reflectors with Y splitters and two 42 watt cfl's in each for side lighting for a total of 504 watts total when at max.
For Ventilation I have an 80mm pc fan for intake blowing through pvc and onto the plants. For exhaust I have a 120 mm pc fan blowing out through a DIY carbon filter. I went with a bigger Exhaust than Intake so that my air leaks around the doors will become passive intakes.
And for my girls I have a 10 gallon sterilite tote, six 3" net pots, a 66gph submersible pump attached to a 6 port drip manifold, two 12" airstones attached to an air pump, rockwool and hydroton.
The seeds I ordered from attitude seed bank through a walmart prepaid visa and recieved my full correct order 7 days later. I ordered two Barneys farm feminized seeds 5 packs. Sweet Tooth and Morning Glory. Here are the links. Morning Glory and Sweet Tooth. They sent three free seeds, Dinafem Moby Dick, Dinafem Blue Haze and DNA Fem Hashplant Haze. For my first try I am going to grow 2 each of the Barneys seeds, and the Dinafem Moby Dick and Blue Haze.
