First Grow Questions, etc. (Please Read)

Im thinking about starting a Grow a closet that is 68in.x32in. i want to run a hydro system made out of a aquarium.

I'm not sure how many plants i should grow in the aquarium. I'm wondering if i need to grow indica in the aquarium (does anyone know any seed banks that ship to the U.S. that are legit). Anyone have any suggestions for how many plants i can grow.

And i want to have 2 potted plants too and im gonna have those inside pots sitting inside milk crates so i can do lst on those.

Soo. what im wondering is how big of light i would need to grow. Im planning on using a hps lamp for it too.

If someone could help me a lot by getting me a materials list. (Lights, Nutrients, Growing mediums, Plant Pots, etc.)

Thanks for taking the time to read this. see ya.

I cant help you with all your questions, but i can with some.

For 2+ plants i would go with 400watt and up, make sure that closet has adiquate vantalation though because HID lights get pretty hot.

Most people swear by Fox Farm soils, Ocean forest in particular.

As for the seed banks, High grade seeds and DrChronic i would recommend. High grade seeds have some REALLY good genetics and most of their strains are exclusive to them.

Thank you. umm about the fox farm do you know what soil mix people like in particular. and what do you mix it with and how much. (as far as peralite, fertilizers if there not in the soil.)

And how many 400w lights would i need to light the whole closet. And does anyone know of a place to get cheaper sites. do you think that eBay would have some?

Also do you know anything about nutrients and stuff for hydroponics. and what do you gu use for a grow medium, Ive seen a lot of people using those round grow rocks.

thanks again for the feedback.

Well i dont really ad perlalite to mine but i know people who do, theres probably instructions to how much to put in the soil on the bag im guessing, o and theres adiquate nutrients in the foxfarm soil but you could always put in more for more bud. and 1 400w should light that whole closet pretty good, just again i gotta warn you about good air ventilation though. and ya ebay should have HID lights.

And no i dont know about nutrients and stuff for hydroponics cus i dont grow it . But i dooo know that you will need to get those grow rocks, i forgot what they are called though.

I wish somone els would help me out haha sorry for my lack of knoledge


O and i forgot to add, you might want to pic up a Metal halide lamp also, HPS should be used for flowering adn MH for veg ( you can use hps for veg also but its not very efficiant)
