good morning and hello from NorCal

[CharlieBrown]

First time grower,long time patient. Ive been purusing this incredible resource of information which is 420magazine.com. I have become inspired to grow my own! Nothing to post about at the moment, still studying. When I have a good question I will feel good about asking. I do have a question. What are the common abbreviations used when discussing techniques and products ie. LST, SOG, DMC?

Hi and I find the grow fascinating, so many different techniques and hard to screw up a plant. LST= Low Stress Training SOG=Sea Of Green and got me on DMC.

Welcome to 420, Charlie. It's good to see you have been exploring the site reading. Now you're ready for the first grow. Have you decided on what strain you're going to start out with? What kind of set up? Nutes? Oh, I know, I'll just have to wait and see when you start the journal. Hope the wait won't be too long, I am excited for you. So hurry up and make the plunge already...lol..j/k... I will be looking forward to your journal. Happy growing.

Thanks QueenTokelove,

My set up will be in a garage cabinet 39" x 19" x 55". The budget is tight at the moment so I'm going with 3 plants with a full CFL set up. I'm undecided on which strain but definitely an Indica. I like what I read about the BPN's, sounds like the best value in nutes. The walls of my cabinet are a flat white melamine finish. I will need to seal some seams so I may just line the cabinet with a reflective material, not sure on the type yet. I'll post a pic of my grow cabinet when I figure out how to post pics.

BPN are top shelf nutes, you won't be disappointed! For your cabinet, the white melamine is a great reflective surface! I think I could calk the seams and start growing!
