Hi guys sorry if this seems repetiative but I wanted to repost in another section here. I'm new to the forum and to growing not smoking lol . n-e-ways I'm setting up a little grow area 10'L x 7.9'W x 6.5'H (pics of area will be coming soon. it's nothing overly fancy but I have painted the walls (white) and insulated the ceilling with reflective insulation I have wood floors so i was thinking of putting some sort of dropcloth down. I have a big pull up door like a garage door almost and have a heavy canvas dropcloth that is being rigged up about 3 feet from the pull up door to ensure no light leaking in when need be the space above is my actual growing area though. I wanted to just start with a few plants so I can hopefully harvest some decent bud for personal use and then also get a mother plant out of it as well (which of course then I hope to skip the germination process in the future and just clone from) I am getting a bit confused with all the contradicting information I keeping finding. I haev a few basic questions hope you all can help. 1)what would be sufficent lighting for that area that will not be overkill but I can also use if I expand my amount of plants? 2 400watts? 600 or 1000?? 2)I am completely clueless and unfamilar with the equipment for ventilation and odor control. recomendations? I plan on getting an aircooled reflect thats about all I know. 3)can I use the ORGANIC miracle grow soil? I also have worm castings, fish emultion and the closes thing to rapid gro as I could find here, what other nutrients adn fertilizers will I need? 4) Will i still get good results if I germinate my seeds directly in my jiffy pots? or should I do the paper towel thing? 5) after germination what would my next steps be? How long do I wait to transplant? 2 weeks? 6) LST should I use this method on a plant I plan on having for a mother plant or is this most beneficial for just those I want to bud? Ok well I think that will get me started atleast, and any advice from experienced growers is appreciate, please if you dont know WTF your talking about dont try to pass the advice on!!! All of this is fictitious and under no means should what I say be taken literally. This is all hypethetical. If for some reason this was not I would be sure to follow ordinace under strick california laws
oh my god. i can't even read your post. that bright pink hurts my eyes. repost in black and you might get a few more responses.
<HR style="COLOR: #ecfcb2" SIZE=1> LOL, Sorry guess the pink is just a girl thing.also I accidently posted this once already and I have read alot of guides and stuff inrealtion to growing and I do garden as well so I think I got the general Idea I am more interested inknowing about equipment proper ventilation odor control ect.. I'm not really on a budget but I dont want to spend thousands setting it up I thought I could probably do it for under $1500 ??? I do already have WW and BUD ice seeds and all the necessary gardening essentials just not lights or anythign neeeded for indoor growing. anyways I'll stop writing a novel if you can just read my post below I copied and pasted. thanks Hi guys sorry if this seems repetiative but I wanted to repost in another section here.

I think your 1000 watt would do the trick,but if your splitting the room for a seperate flower chamber then maybe the smaller wattage would be better,[ can never have to much light only too much Heat!] The MG soil is not recommended,Fox Farm's Ocean Mix is the most used by seasoned growers.[what i hear anyways] Actually the MG regular soil has a higher nitrogen content that MJ love's, versus the organic one they make,I just hate that they all have built in nutrients so it's hard to regulate when adding other nutrients Take a look at they grow room design section,great loads of info for ya. Good luck!!!! AND MAY THE MJ GODS BE WITH YOU...................................
