    Default Help me build my first grow room :)

    Hi there people
    im totally new to the game of growing but after a long time thinking about it im ready to give it a go, i dont know any one personally that grows so ive had to do all my reading up online, the vast amount of info online is a bit overwhelming, with all the different methods used, all i have really at the moment is a potential grow space in my loft, im hopefully going to upload a graph i made with all the measurements so you can let me know what you think, the area has been insulated underneath with ply wood on top painted with white paint,
    im planning on doing my first grow using soil and using the hole area for one big grow then maybe putting a partition in for the future,
    if you can help i would like any advise on the kind of lighting and ventilation i would need for this area, also advise on potentialy how many plant i could grow in this space.

    thanks guys seems such a small piece of writing for the amount of questions i have, any advise would be great cheers

    Before starting it's a good idea to have an idea of how much you would like to grow (weight wise) to keep you self sufficient. There's no point in spending on the latest & greatest if it's not really going to be used...

    For my first grow I bought a 100 us dollars 400 watt ballast and a 3.5x3.5 tent.

    Don't waste much money and I wouldn't get anything over a 400 watt going into the summer, as a first timer it will be more difficult doing a summer grow and a 600 or 1000 water.

    the grow would mostly be for yield over strength
