Got the desire to grow, so with a supportive wife and Craigslist and a few bucks, I got myself a 5 x 5 tent, 1000w Light and ballast, The Titan System with expansion (18 sites, I am using only 6) and seems everything is working and waiting on beans in 'plain brown wrapper' as they say.
Selected bean strains are:
(all fems)
Afgan Kush
THC Bomb
Red Dragon
BC Kush
Pineapple Kush
Dark Devil
NYC Diesel
(and 2 free ones, yet to arrive with the others)
Some questions:
> With six sites, which six play well together, if there is such a thing?
> When we got the Titan System, the guy had soil mixed in with mostly hydroton pellets. I am washing the pellets as I think they are good in that they don't 'wear out' (correct?) and opting to go pure hydro with none of that guys soil in the mix. While he said they root faster, I'm not comfortable using his mix as I cleaned every part of the system before putting it together (its was filthy) Question is, should I go pellets totally? (no Soil?) Afterall, I AM trying to do a hydro system.
>I got a HPS light in the deal. 1000 Watt. When I set the ballast to 'Super Lumen' it really got bright. I understand that HPS lamps are best for flowering. Should I consider another blub for the veggie stage?
> Titan comes with this badass Breaking Bad esque 55 gal drum. Do I need to fill it all the way up for just 6 sites?
Would it help if I introduced C02 via an air stone planted in the drum with the water?
> Which nutes might you suggest?
Thanks in advance for your help and comments. I've looked and read everything about this I can get my hands on. I've found this forum to be the most active and complete and look forward to much info from the forum.
