how many plants are going to grow, are you growing in a tent wardrobe, whats your budget
Hi there, I'm looking to try one plant first as I am in England and growth is illegal I've spent around £200/$325 on a small indoor tent, 400watt HPS bulb and relactor, oscillating fan, soil, extra nutrients for each stage, a extractor fan with carbon filter, 3,5,10 gallon pots, a PH meter, a PPM meter, a temperature and humidity meter, I've tried to purchase everything but I'm sure there's something I've missed out?

the only thing you are missing is an intake fan but you can just use a vent in the tent for a passive intake
what strain are you thinking of growing
i'm in the uk too

Ah perfect I've bought some Girl Scout cookies and some northern lights, what does the intake fan do?

The only reason I'm doing auto's is because apperantly they're are the easiest to start with?
One reason I don't do autos is that you have to run the lights for 18 hours on, which is costly.
Autos aren't noted for their production either, so next time I would just go with some fem seeds, they will save you money. Use the 3 gallon pots, because as a rule of thumb, 1 gallon per month of grow, so for an 8 week plant they are fine.
Good luck

Thank you very much, do you consider auto's not easier?

Not really, a plant is a plant, so you still have to treat autos the same as another normal plant as far as nutes, etc. My feeling is autos are for people that cant be bothered to change the lighting schedule.

consider
not using all caps for thread titles
not making multiple threads
and actually doing some(ANY) reading on growing.
