    Hello to you all!  :hello:
     
    I am a casual marijuana user and with my father suffering from ALS I decided to kill two birds with one stone and start my own microgrowery. I will describe everything I've prepared so far and what my plans are and I would appreciate any experienced people out there to give insight and help in any way as it is my first time.
     
    • Grow space:  49x38x89cm; 1,63x1,26x3'; old table I rebuild, front is made from cardboard, all of the inside is covered with                             reflective material
    • Lighting:        4x23w 6500K CFL for veg; 4x23w 2700K CFL for flower; considering ading 5th for each stage - should I add                             same spectrum or can it benefit from 4 being 6500K and 1 being 2700K or is it better if they are all same?
    • Ventilation:    120mm PC fan intake at the bottom; 120mm PC fan outtake at the top; no filter - I'm going to wait for the odor to                       kick in and then decide if I need to filter it
    • Soil:               so far using my own compost soil which should be having all nutrients needed
    • Nutrients:       haven't bought any yet as I've read autoflowers shouldn't be nuted much until flowering
    • Strain:            planted 1x regular Power-poison mainly to test the setup and germination, then 3x Automazar seeds directly                             into soil from local seller with great reviews from buyers, planning on having 2 plants in the box
    • Pots:              little 0,4 or so pots for seedling stage, planning on moving the plants into their final pots as soon as possible, as                       I've read autoflowering strains shouldn't be moved at all if possible
    • Water:            I'm using regular tap water, always letting it stand still for 24 hours before watering to get rid of chlorine etc.
     
    That's it for now. First signs of automazar seedling are breaking out of the ground right now, power-poison is already couple days old but I will move it out once I figure what to do with it. I will appreciate any advice you might have for me. I will be adding photos throughout the whole process. Right now I'll just post pictures of my setup so far.

    P.S.: anyone knows why my pictures are being uploaded upside down? I tried changing the perspective before uploading but it stays the same.
