Hey Guys, I'm starting my first grow in a wooden wardrobe, it's 24" deep, 31" wide, and 76" tall. I plan on growing 2 C99 or Grapefruit in soil (advice on other less stinky, forgiving plants?) and I just purchased a Lighthouse Blackstar 100watt UFO LED 6 band light. I bought a 136.5CFM High static pressure fan, and I'm rigging up a DIY carbon filter made from honeywell pre-filters, duct caps, and aluminium screen. There's no hydro shop nearby, so I need to get fertilizer at the local Home Hardware store, I've been advised to use something close to 20-20-20 for veg, but to use 1/4 of the directions on the box? (corrections please!) but I'm not sure what to use for flowering. I don't have a ton of money, so recommending Advanced Nutrients to me is kind of useless.... Something common enough to grab at a local store would be nice. I can easily fit x2 5 gallon buckets in half of the wardrobe, I was thinking of making some sort of partition to lessen the amount of light loss by cutting the wardrobe in half, thoughts? What should I line the wardrobe with? Or should I pain the inside white? I was considering doing a scrog grow as well, I read that c99 is a great plant for just such a thing. Is it advised for a first time grow? I really like the idea of having the canopy contained under a screen so more light can hit the leaves as I don't have the most powerful light in the world, although, correct me if I'm wrong it's somewhere on par with a 300-350watt HPS? Thanks in advance for helping a noob!
C99!!!!! This strain is so easy to grow and really mild smelling. By far one of my favorites to grow and smoke. Check out this blog about her. http://forum.grasscity.com/blogs/mjmama25/20477-c99-strain-review.html As for the nutes. My veg nutes are 6-4-4 and that's a good balance. In the past I've used alaska fish emulsions for veg nutes and had good results. It was 5-1-1 NPK. You really want to have a higher first number for veg nutes, and a higher middle number for flowering.
