Hey everybody,
I am brand new to this website but I've been recently doing a lot of research on indoor growing and decided to roll the dice and give it a shot myself. This will be my very first grow and I absolutely love the support everybody seems to give each other on this site!! I hope to thoroughly document my grow and provide many pictures of the entire process from pre-germination to harvest. I'm not completely sure on the route I will be taking as far as lighting and nutrients go and could really use your guy's help! These are the following stats of my grow:
The most important aspect of this grow is stealth. Keeping them out of sight isn't a big deal but I must keep the smell to a bare minimum. I realize I will have to invest in a carbon filter before I begin to flower my plants. The second most important aspect is yield, which I think is normal for many people haha. Lastly, cost is important. I would like to do this properly though and will not be super cheap on the necessities. After the cost of the seeds, I would like to spend no more than $200-300 dollars on everything. (Maybe I am cheap?)
Indoor space:
-Closet that is 2' deep by 5' long. Height is about 6'.
Plant specs:
-I ordered 10 feminized lemon kush seeds from Herbies, a well-reviewed site by the sounds of it.
-I ordered 12 regular (non-fem) Bliss seeds from hempdepot.com. The original retailer is whish seeds. Bliss is a 90/10 Sativa/Indica hybrid. After ordering I realized this might not be the greatest strain if I'm hoping for a large yield.
-I another ordered 10 regular mixed indoor seeds from hempdepot.com. The original retailer on this is beanhoarder.
-I plant to hopefully grow about 6 plants in the space I have provided.
Light:
-Not sure whether to go with cfl's or a hps at this point. It seems cfl's have the pros of not producing excessive heat although it looks as though I'll almost need to spend the same amount on a ton of cfl's as one good hps system. For my space, I think I could almost get away with a hps light and a couple cfls. I don't want to buy the carbon filter right away so I'm hesitant to start with an hps because of excessive heat. Perhaps cfls in the first few weeks and then an hps closer to flowering? Or would getting the hps right away be very beneficial?
Soil Specs:
I would like to go with an organic soil that has good filtration and add nutrients as needed from there. I will begin growing my seeds in plastic cups and then move them to 1.5 gallon pots. I'm not sure if I should invest in a PH reader though it seems all the pros use them. Does anybody have input as to what kind of nutrients I should use?
This is all my current information. I'm pretty familiar with the basics but just have some questions as far as lighting and nutrients go at the moment. I will shortly post a picture of the closet I have to work with and maybe someone can help me with designing it into the perfect grow room!! Thanks everybody who took the time to read all this, I can clarify anything if needed and hope this is the beginning to a successful grow!
