hello people
i'm a long time smoker who now wants to start growing, (one of those things i kept telling myself i should do for a while now).
one of the problems i'm faced is, is the choice of equipment out there to choose from. i think i'm going to be using soil for my first grow as i want to keep it as simple as possible, as i already have a lot to learn!
cost is not a major issue, as i'm only thinking of growing a few plants in a small area. after a few weeks research on the net and mainly this site, i think my best best is to go with the Budbox XL Tent. I'm thinking of growing maybe 6 seeds in the beginning in the hope of 3 females, and thought perhaps the diamond 400W would do the job? i'm a completely new grower so any other suggestions are appreciated (also read about 250W fluoro's red and blue?)
i plan on repotting the plants several times using bio-bizz all mix, if i do this, do i need to use added nutrients? i've read the bio-bizz grow and bloom are excellent nutes to use, but i just want to keep it simple, so less things can go wrong. :confused: what would you suggest?
i'm going to use a fan to stir up movement in the tent, how much do i need to worry about a fan duct and if vital could i suck air in from the room and have the exhaust with hot air blowing into the same room? if so is this when i need a carbon filter? sorry i'm completely new to this and even though i've learnt so much, i still find myself struggling! :banghead: smell not a major issue, would a fan suffice
thanks for all your help i really appreciate it
