Hi, so I’m very new to growing. This will be my first grow. It just became legal in my state medically, so I thought I would take advantage of it. I have just purchased a small set up. I was wondering if somebody experienced can tell me what they think about it/ if I’m missing any equipment. I was going to grow 4 plants to start out. I was thinking about doing veg for about 8 weeks and Flower for another 8-10 weeks.
Materials:
-48”x48”x80” grow tent (Apollo Horticulture)
-Growers Choice 1000W Grow Light HPS Complete Fixture 120V/240V Commercial Quality
-Small Dehumidifier for 1200 cu ft (150 sq ft)
- Farm Fox nutes. Big bloom, grow big, tiger bloom
-instecho Digital PH Meter, 0.01 Resolution Pocket Size Water Quality Tester with ATC 0-14 pH Measurement
-AcuRite 00613 Humidity Monitor with Indoor Thermometer, Digital Hygrometer and Humidity Gauge Indicator
-iPower 6 Inch 442 CFM Inline Fan Carbon Filter Combo with Variable Speed Controller 8 Feet Rope Hanger for Grow Tent Ventilation.
-iPower 4 Inch 8 Feet Non-Insulated Flex Air Aluminum Ducting Dryer Vent Hose HVAC Ventilation, 2 Clamps included
-2 clip fans.
I am basically just waiting on the seeds and materials to get in. I was thinking about using co2 in the tent. I’ve read tons and tons of threads on co2 and tents, but I hear that it’s pointless because the tent need to be sealed off completely. I was possibly thinking about putting co2 in there at certain times of the day and not having it run 24/7 (or when there is light on) since it needs to be ventilated so I don’t suffocate the plants and kill them (from what I understand from previous posts). I’m very anxious and excited to start the grow and just want to know what you think and throw recommendations on how I should go about it. I was thinking about maybe adding a small humidifier in there as well. Am I heading in the right direction? Any opinions from people who know what they are talking about would be MUCH appreciated.
