New Grower Need Friends

[Kush1zMyKologne]

What's up everybody? Been smoking 15 years, about to start growing. I have 4 seeds from a really nice light green, thick bud. Possibly something like Northern Lights or or maybe another likeness. Don't know the strain or really anything else.

Seeds are in germ, 48 hours in. Tomorrow I'll'put them in dirt. Closet grow, indoor....any help appreciated, looking for new friends in the field Thanks!

Have you bought any equipment to aid your plants?

Welcome to RIU, man.

Thanks guys! To answer your question THCBrain, I just bought Fox farm veg dirt to put my seeds in this afternoon, and I've got some pots. I'm out looking for a good grow light now. I'm on a super low budget, with some really decent seeds. Any help is appreciated

I also have all of my reflective material for my closet. I need help with my fan situation and the best way to keep my closet humidity correct.

Cfl is a realy cheap and forgiving way to start. Not as much heat and can be used in regular light fixtures. I bought bigger ones I think they are 200 watt came with the fixture and all cost 75bucks. I used them for the whole grow and pulled 1 and a half oz a plant for my first grow.

Ok cool, Are the purple UV lights (100w) any good for this? Maybe like a side light or something?

I hear good things about fox and farm ocean forest. It has nutes in it and you don't have to feed your plant for 4 to 6 weeks. I use promix you can get big bales of it for around 40$ and I have actually been Re using it for my last two grows with no negative outcome

Pro mix...... Something like it...... But if a bag of soil is gonna break the bank

Where do I find it? Soil won't break me just don't need the most expensive stuff

The home improvement stores sell it..... Probably wal mart..... Have to feed tho

A bag of ocean forest or another quality organic soil is what a new guy should learn in......

You mean add nutes?? To the pro mix??

Yes with pro mix you have to use your own nutrients from the start. With a "hot soil" like ocean forest you don't have to use your own nutes until flowering

Transplanting thru veg that works..... A big pot before flower will get you thru the stretch ...... After that it's hard to screw up

In the water..... There are fertilizers you could add tho
