alright ive been reading and really want to start my firstgrow..about 4 - 5 plants with 400w hps in the closet.im surfing high tech garden supply.. what kind of fert and soil to get.. im a complete noob also i will be purchasing seeds from the seed bank.. any1 tell me what kind of fert and soil to get also any other thing i should pick up. what do i need 2 get started
Get some good organic soil, no added ferts. Read as much as you can before you get started, the sticky topics in these forums are pretty good. 400w hps in a closet is exactly how I flower my girls, hps lights get very hot, have you thought about your ventilation in the closet and how you will keep temps stable?
most def.. i was thinking of opening the closet and having a fan to circulate the air. i was plan on using the closet in m bedroom. what do u think??
Will you be able to have the light glaring out of there with the door open without it drawing attention to itself? What I'm getting at is, if I left the door to my closet open with high intensity light and strong smelling bud coming out, i would be busted pretty quickly. Just throwing that out there. The alternative is to keep the door closed but have an intake and exhaust for air flow.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, I wouldn't call ourselves "noobs" I hate that word. Anyways, I'm taking notes right now Fox Farm Ocean Forest I've heard it is good. No nutes, and keeps moisture in the soil for a good amount of time. Organic choice people arn't overly whelmed about but it does the job What strain are you going to be growing man?
im not a soil grower, but will you have any venting? maybe look into a tent for inside the closet Evil
I plan on getting about 4 single feminized.. Imma get, white russian and white window 4 sure. the other two seeds im undecided on.. also this is the closet i plan to use... I have a hole that leads to an attic i guess. i live in a townhouse and the other side been empty since i moved here. im guessing i could use it for ventalation
