Well hello AFN family. I am new on here under GhostRyder. I was on here back last February as Casper79. Unfortunately after my first DWC grow became an epic failure cause I fried my LR#2 babys by not setting up my grow box correctly. So with that being said, I left for awhile and when I came back I couldnt remember my login password.lol. So I hope to get great advice and help as I did the first attempt. I still need to properly finish setting up my box. Ive got a nice start on it. Ive taken pics of what I have so far with the box as well as all the supplies I have. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
This is my Grow box that is 46"Hx19"Wx26"D. I added the register vent to bottom for better fresh airflow intake, and a 65watt 2620 RPM exhaust blower with 6" x 12" Odor Scrubber for heat and smell
Ok so I took Shumway's advice last time I was here and took the 2 black and orange CPU fans and installed them staggered on my light wing to help cool off the heat from MS/HPS bulbs and have them wired into a AC wall adapter. I have still have the lil red Holmes fan that swivels to aim up towards lights for extra cooling and airflow in box. Odor Scrubber, and my Revolt 250 watt MH/HPS electronic ballast. Thinking of attaching the blue 250watt electronic ballast about middle way up on left or right side. Not sure yet. Any suggestions on the placement of that?
Here is my 250watt MH/HPS bulbs. I also have this 150 watt China Red/Blue LED thats 12x12 and 2 red spectrum and 2 blue spectrum CFL grow bulbs. I think that the MH/HPS will be plenty in my size box though. Any suggestions is cool with me.
I still have a whole bag of hydroton, plus a 1/4 of a bag, plenty of 3 inch net pots, and enough rockwool for now.
I am going to use the same nutes as before. AN Jungle Juice Micro, Grow, and Bloom. Ive also now got Voodoo, Big Bud, and Bud Candy all by AN as well. Ive got a whole bottle of PH UP and a bottle and a half of PH DOWN with stablizer. I also now have the dropper and got a sunleaves shot glass measurer. I still have the yellow PH tester but now got a PPH and water temp tester. The only thing ive noticed I DONT have is the calibration NACi mixture to calibrate. Any suggestions on that?
I am using the 2 pictured airstones, attached to the dual pump pictured as well. I have the brinks timer to set on 20/4 which is perfect for Autos. And last but not least my resevoir is a dark blue 10 gallon rubbermaide tough tote. Which will hold roughly 5-6 gallons to bottom of net pots. The lid pictured is for 1 site lid, yet I have 2 of the same tubs and the other is a 6 site lid.
Well thats everything except for the heated seedling mat, and humidity dome that I forgot to take pictures of. LOL. If you would like to leave comments on my setup or any suggestions, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I will be ready to start 2nd DWC grow prob within a few weeks. OHHH and I almost forgot the most important part!!! What beans I have!!!! LMAO, So Im not sure which ones to do yet cause im only gonna prob do 1-2 beans this time around. Last time I wasted 3 LR#2 beans :dunno: But heres what I have :
- 2 LowRyder#2 (feminised)
- 1 Delicious Northern Light Blue ( feminised)
- 2 LowRyder EasyRyder (feminised)
- 1 Sleestack X Skunk (regular)
All beans came from Herbies So any suggestions or comments on my beans would be great as well!!! Well Im out for now AFN family. Glad to be back :thumbs: I'll post new pics as soon as I get the box completed. Happy growing and smoking AFN!!!!

Well....as you can see I subbed your thread and commented in mine before I read your thread!!!:roflcry:....WELCOME BACK GHOSTRYDER(aka CASPER)!!........you have what seems to be a great setup and plan of action!....I cannot comment much because super small places is one of the only places that I have never been "forced" to deal with..........that being said.....I do know that "micro" or super small grow boxes like yours can be extremely hard to dial in...its often easy to overdue things such as air movement and even light......so I can almost gaurantee you that someone with WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more experience then myself with a similar setup as yours guide you in the right direction.............but....if I were to guess..you might be over doing it in the lights a bit for your size grow.....not sure but a guess......................Also.....I have heard amazing and wonderful things about Delicious seeds's northern light blue!!!just a friendly suggestion:thumbs:"My 2 cents"............once again Welcome back and I look forward to following your grow!
AFN!!!!
