First Grow Newbie ^.^

[opps]

So I talked to few friends of mine and my friends willing to throw down the money for grow just needs to have a good yield so i can split it 2 ways for me and my friend maybe 3 idk yet.

Here the set up

Gorilla grow with Miracle Grow enough for 2 plants I believe

Cfl Lighting 68 watt 2700k ( Around 12 of them)
4,200 lumens ea bulb = 50k lumens ?? when I saw this I freaked was like yess and for so cheap ^.^

Fans every corner of 2x2x4 wooden box with that cover up stuff what is it called again?
Also putting a lock on it so there's no way to open

Ph meter And a Temp and moist controller "

And Grow big for veg and I don't really have a flower nute's are the recommend ?

And is there anyway I could get air ventilation with out buying a damn thing that sucks air out ?

Well that's most my question hoping to get some answers :b

You need to replace stale air constantly, so no you can't really properly ventilate without exhausting the old air. If you have good enough intake you could probably make do with the positive pressure forcing the air out of gaps etc, but this wouldn't be recomended

and i'll tell you what i tell everyone else concerning nutrients.
If you're on a tight budget Dutch masters original 2 part nutrients grow and bloom both work wonders for such a cheap price.

If you're willing to spend the $ to get the best yu possibly can, house & gardens nutrient line is hands dwn the best you can get. These guys really know what they're making adn they test every batch they sell so you know you're recieving quility goods. But the effects of using these guys nutrients is really noticable, hek even using there 2 part nutrients is sufficient enough to notice a very positive improvment.

definitly agree you need stale air exchange unless you are willing to open the cabinet every few hours to exchange the air, drill a small hole on the top of the cabinet to blow air out and a small intake near the floor pushing air in, even if they are computer fans, you need air exchange or they will smother

If you really want to do MG, you won't need many nutes at all just some flowering nutes. MG has time released water activated nutes in it from the bag. You will need to take care with watering. Every time you do, you release nutes. That is why so many growers are down on MG, well the main reason anyway. But MG is not the heinous crime against cannabis that some claim. This girl is in MG, with some MG perlite (also nuted)...50,000 lumens is nice but the light cfl provides will not do quite as well as an HID light. But should still yield a decent havest depending on other conditions. Proper ventilation is certainly one of those conditions. In a grow that size 2 pc fans should do the trick one intake and one exhaust. Also a small fan inside the grow area to keep the branches moving and make them strong enough to support the budz that are coming.

The best grow tip I can offer is to read, study, plan, and act BEFORE germination. Tons of great info and helpful people here at RIU. Also, please click the link in my signature. You will find several great how to videos from Master growers for 1st timers. Best of luck to you!

I'm not 100% sure, but as long as he was to open the cabinet every day, just to check on them, I'm sure that would be enough ventilation. And the carbon dioxide he exhales would be good for the plant too. I thought most people just get the vents to sanitize the air to eliminate the weed smell the plant gives off. I would think a fan would allow enough circulation, along with him "refreshing" the air everyday by checking in on the plants, or watering.

Cannabis plants consume massive amounts of CO2, proper ventilation is required for a happy healthy plant.

Miracle Grow has an organic mix, and it's very affordable. You can add nutes to it just like a regular soil.. flushing won't be a problem because the timed release stuff isn't in it. I'm not sure where you are, but I got a bag of Fox Farms Ocean Forest for $13. bk is right on the money as far as air exchange.. in addition you'll need to get rid of heat from your lights, and extra humidity, plus any smell.
