Hi everybody I'm new to this website and really enjoying it. So I figured I'd try and get some input on my plan of attack for my first grow that I'll be starting in about 5 weeks. The hardest thing for me now is finding exact brands to go with.
1. I'm looking to get a 4x4x6.5 tent from Amazon as they seem to be cheaper with good reviews.
2. I plan on getting seeds from crop King seeds as they seem to have good feedback and ship them safely since I do NOT live in a cannibas friendly state. I want to grow fem white widow for first time.
3. Swinging towards getting a 600w hps/MH with a digital ballast I'm having a difficult time finding an exact one online to get since most from Amazon don't have the best reviews, lots of complaints on it not working properly half way through. This makes getting an LED more appealing but not sure on leds yet.
4. I'm not yet sure on if I should go with 4-5 med sized plants or 2-3 larger plants given a 600w setup. The goal is max yeild/ quality of course.
5. For the medium/ nutes, I might go with fox farms products based on good reviews and according to their website there are a couple stores around my city that sell fox farms products.
6. Ill defenetly get a ph tester with some up/down solution. I'm not sure if I want to get a ppm tester since alot of online reviews are not good at all on the ones I've seen. Should I really stress ppm at this point ? Or will running tap through a Britta and then following up with a ph test be sufficient.
7. Obviously get a carbon filter with a exaust fan as well as a small rotating fan inside. Any recommendations on a brand of exaust fan? The quiter the better.
with dimable ballast how low and how high should you have it on the plants in the sed/veg stage I know it will vary on how many plants there are.
Is their a guideline for how big of a pot you should use for growing bigger / smaller plants.
That's all I can think of at the moment. Any input is appreciated thank you!
