Hello GCC! I am a new member and have just received my "Berry Ryder" Autoflower seeds from Attitude. I am going to be attempting a single plant in a 15" by 18" closet. My biggest concerns right now are : 1. Which soil should I use? Preferably one which is readily available at any big store 2. Optimal CFL light setup. - what is best Wattage and Lumens for my space? (lights will provide most heat for the plant) I know that Autos can grow in less than optimal conditions, which is why I decided to give them a try for my first attempt. I would like to get started as soon as possible. Like I said I have never done this before but have read lots and understand most of it. Although, thinking and doing are two different beasts. Thanks for your input and help!! I know you will steer me correctly!
