Grow Mediums Sweet Seeds Auto Collection Grow

Thanks Tommy, Glad to see someone stoping by and leaving a post! I have a few questions: Should i bug bomb the shed? Its a tin shed out back of my house and there are roaches and stuff in there....my tent was stored in a placstic tub in the shed since last year. If i shouldnt use bug bombs i was thinking of putting moth balls under the shed and also spraying down the inside of my tent with pinesol to clean/disinfect anything.
 
OK i got my rockwool out. IMG_0158.jpg And i now also have my watere (which is well water). I used my ph meter to test and it came out to 6.5 out of faucet. So i Added 1ml of PH DownIMG_0164.jpg
When i first put my meter back into the water to check it was reading 5.6 which is fine, after i pulled it out and stuck it back it, it readsIMG_0161.jpg. SO into the bowl go the cubes to soak overnnight.IMG_0162.jpg. Im expecting my Pump to come in the mail tommorow along with the tubing and the PPM Meter. So im gonna put the seeds directly into the rockwool, then into emilys garden buckets on top of the hydroton. And place the buckets under a cheapo fluroscent grow light from wallmart. just until they sprout. then ill put the buckets into the lid for the res.and out back to the shed they go.
 
Does my thread need to be moved to grow journal section? so i can get more input? Mods please feel free to do so if you think its best.
 
Ok, so if you are going to use any chemicals at all to clean your tent I would make sure it's washed down with water afterwards or just use soapy water to clean it down, along as you keep your temps/humidity okay I can't see a problem with your set up, you look good to go brother, I'll follow this grow with front row seats :) good luck buddy! :dance2:
 
OK so my package came in today with the airpump, airstones. b-52, and my ppm meter.IMG_0166.jpg No calibration fluid with the meter. Is there a way to do it without one? Or do i need to do it at all?
I also started to germinate my seeds. I soaked the rockwool for about 24 hours. PH meter read 6.6 so i shook them off a lil bit and droped all my beans into them. Lol talk about having all your eggs in one basket.

Ladies and gentlemen we have liftoff. All seeds have taproots coming out. Went to lowes today and got 2 bags of perlite I'm gonna use that as my medium. I got miracle grow perlite and it has plant food in it... I dint realize till I got home( prolly cuz the doobie i smoked in my truck on the way there oops :toke:) do I need to rinse the perlite to avoid it burning my ladies later down the road or will it be ok because they are seedlings?
Also I can not for the life of me figure out how to assemble the flood and drain system I picked up. Please if anyone can advise me it would be greatly appreciated. Also I. Priced that the lights I got the other day along with the hydro systems use hydrofarm all system cords. That means they can take CFLs, hps or mh lamps??

Another update. Look to be doing good few more days I think I'm gonna put them in net cups, put perlite on the bottom of the net cups then throw some Hudroton ontop of that and put them all in my flood and drain system until they show start to flower then I'll move them outback to the she's and put them under the 600 watt hps. They will be under 2 125watt cfl grow lights until I make the move.
