Alright, I myself, along with a few friends are going to "hopefully" start a grow op. We're hoping for a large hydroponic growing op. None of us have ever grown. I will be the one at the apartment running the whole op. The others are going to be in the business section of this. One of the other guys has read a lot on growing, and I am here on grass city trying to learn. What I need to know is. Is it hard for a beginner to manage a large hydroponic grow op? Also, can someone point me in the right direction for 3x3 (36in. x 36in.) hydroponic tent? I've picked out a pH meter I shall be using WD-35423-10 Waterproof pH EcoTester - WD-35423-10 Any thoughts on this meter? Know of a better one? Final question, Is this a good place to get seeds? http://www.nirvanashop.com/ Sorry for being such a "noob" with questions. But I really would LOVE to start growing. Thanks in advance. Also, tips on things to read would be great. I've read stickies in different sections already. And I am in the midst of reading "The Cannabis Grow Bible" (Sorry if this was the wrong section to ask in, I just thought posting in the hydroponic section was a rather ingenious idea) Lol. Thanks GC.
I'm going to tackle this with your questions in bold. Is it hard for a beginner to manage a large hydroponic grow op? Yes, it is recommended that a new grower, such as yourself, or someone with low knowledge on growing, try a single plant to get up to speed. However, many have grown "large" grow ops their first time around. As a beginner, you are going to get really overwhelmed really fast. Also, can someone point me in the right direction for 3x3 (36in. x 36in.) hydroponic tent? Amazon or eBay. All tents are pretty much the same. Also, this is by no means a large op... I've picked out a pH meter I shall be using WD-35423-10 Waterproof pH EcoTester - WD-35423-10 Any thoughts on this meter? Know of a better one? I have never used this exact meter, but as long as you have the calibration fluid and store it properly you should be fine. Sorry for being such a "noob" with questions. But I really would LOVE to start growing. Everyone is a "noob" at first. Thanks in advance. Also, tips on things to read would be great. I've read stickies in different sections already. And I am in the midst of reading "The Cannabis Grow Bible" Don't take everything that you can get out of a book word for word, often times there is out dated info, but there is also incredibly helpful info that would be hard to find in a search. Another book I can recommend is Jorge Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture, and his movies are a great head start. Good Luck!
Thanks for the reply! First off, I know 3x3 is by no means a large op. But I figure starting small, and ending large would be best. Deff. when I am a beginner. Also, I understand CGB (cannabis grow bible) will have some outdated info, but I thought it would be one of the better books to read at first with good info. I'll read the one you recommended also. Thanks again badfish
