    Default Its almost time! Need help with shopping list!

    Its almost pay day! So I want to get my shopping list sorted so I can get growing as soon as!

    All I have so far is the Aquafarm I got off ebay which was advertised as the waterfarm but its far too big to be that so I think I got a steal at £30! and an EC meter

    Shopping list consists of...

    Tent kit - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190832952168?var=490147322751

    Not the greatest kit but I dont earn enough or have the room for it to be acceptable to spend a fortune. Im even looking of buying some delahaze seeds to try and replicate him as much as poss haha.. As far as I can tell tho he doesnt really go into detail on his nutes and additives..?

    Nutes - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221401453019?var=520275397578

    Would you lot recommend I run anything else with these? Its only the GH Flora, Micro and Bloom

    Hydroton - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231254447812

    PH down, PH test and liquid silcon - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360497167563

    Will the liquid silicon be any use to me? I live in a very hard water area... If I remember rightly EC was 1.2 from the tap and PH 7! Ive read you cant really add the silicon to help the plants strength then add ph down to correct as it fucks shit up...?

    All help is appreciated... I want a nice big grow like sharky that'll last me a whole lot longer than the shit from the streets!

    Thanks BBK
    Have patience, I'm new to this growing shit

    You may find the TT fan noisier than you had hoped for. You may also be better off with the 5" one

    The nutes are fine

    The segment timer I would expect to fail

    ...and I would be wary of a 'no brand' ballast - probably runs hot

    Hope that helps a little

    **EDIT** Just read a post below the one with the PPM reading of my tap water and according to my Truncheon it was 1.1 EC..?

    Letting the water sit overnight with an airstone should lower this considerably shouldnt it?

    Ive had the TT before and its noisy but you get used to it eventualy lol

    Thought I had selected the 5' Ill correct that on my ebay account...

    Would you not run anything else with these nutes?

    The timer I KNOW will fail, Ive got a contactor somewhere...

    If its the same ballast I had when I first grew then it does run hot... I mean extremely hot but its going to be mounted outside the tent on a cold brick wall so shouldnt be too bad..

    Tap water with 7 ph is very good. If soil organic soil grow it would be perfect.
    Fuckin hate harvesting them, but like to smoke!
