Hi guys
Im in need of much advice, this will be my first grow ever. although not my first smoke that would just be absurd!
So the room im planning on doing this in will be the trusty "cupboard under the stairs". my gas meter and electricity cards are in here, would that make a difference? the room is about 9ft high sloping down to around 4ft, its 2ft wide and lets say 6ft deep.
i will be using lowryder seeds as there excellent noob seeds, and apart from what i actually want to grow im not sure about anything else. I understand lighting to an extent but as i have never done this before could do with some tips on that front. im not sure if i should use CFL or Some other type of light.
Also on the lighting front, i have no idea how to get a light in there. do i have to use a mains plug for CFL's? any tips would be awesome on this
another big worry of mine is ventilation, i have a little girl and another one on the way so i will need to keep the door shut most of the time, So im unsure about how to get the air circulating if i only use a fan and no extraction.
so yeah that is kinda what im looking for, please don't think im set in my ways about what to do with this room.
What would you do?
