With all the help of many members here, plus attending a medical marijuana biz conference in the Pacific NW, I bought all the equipment to carry me through veg and just a couple of days ago, began some Cherry Bomb seeds from Bomb Seed (no issues with the mailing), plus some kush hybrid from a...

Just waiting for the seeds to arrive and i get to start my first grow. my thanks to all of you who helped guide me through the equipment buys as well as all the nutes & growing tips.

I got an 8 bulb and a 4 bulb, so their headprint is about 3x4 for a 5x5 tent. The tent should arrive in less than a week.

this is the grow tent: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydroponic-Grow-Growing-Tent-Box-Room-Greenhouse-System-Mylar-5-x-5-x-68-/390966453249?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b076aa401

While reading and learning and scraping for the resources for my first grow, I ultimately came up with this: 1) Xen Lux grow tent (it's not Gorilla, but sounds decent with steel poles and corners, and was $142 for 5x5) 2) 4' Grow Crew T5s, one 8 bulb fixture and one 4 bulb fixture, from Growers...

Yeah, but you'll be wishing you'd bought the batwing if the Penguin attacks Gotham.

T5s 8 tube... and smaller units too. Excellent prices. sale ends 2/26 http://growershouse.com/grow-crew-ho-t5-4-8-bulbs-fixture-with-bulbs

was that Fox Farms Ocean Forest or Happy Frog? (And thanks to everyone for all the coaching!)

The local hydro stores tell me some of the 5 yr guaranteed ballasts wear out in 4th or 5th year and can be a hassle to get mfr replacements. One suggested I go with a magnetic ballast (which she preferred b/c of rf interference). Another mentioned a 3 yr digital dimmable ballast they carry and...

okay, found it. As I've never had to use a spreadsheet in my entire life, it is as easy for me to understand as cuneiform. But thanks any way.

The spreadsheet is updated AT GrowKind? The readme file is on the bottles? I didn't quite follow those parts. And does anything change from the useless schedule if foliar feeding is done? (Thanks to each of you chiming in.)

The city water here tests out pretty close to neutral PH. So you say it's better to go 75% coco, 25% perlite? I bought 5 and 7 gal pots, to see which does better throughout.

I was guessing 50%... so 30% will do for starters? I'm planning to use coco fiber in smart pots and gro-pro pots, using GH.and vegging under T5s. Is it trickier to feed in veg or bloom stage?

It's a tent grow so sativas are out. Indica or hybrid..... probably nothing taller than 4'.... will be optimal. Two goals: I want to find 1 or two clonable mommies and send 2 or 3 on to the flower tent. So although I do want yield, my principle objective is just a decent, relatively trouble...

Thanks Purp. So adding that Sunshine#4 and sugar daddy is the adjustment you refer to? I did find sort-of-a cost comparison chart, which does indicate that Botanicare is not much more expensive than GH (while everything ELSE scales up considerably. Do those specific products explain when/how...

I asked about Gen. Hydro at two local hydro shops. One gal told me it works but she doesn't like the aftertaste. Suggested Botanicare. So now I gotta wonder whether it's like wine snobs. (Yeah, I know the teabrewers are artists, but figuring a simple regimen at the start is still a bit of a WTF.)

Temporarily no choice but a tent, so that'll be my first run. By midsummer, I'm hoping to find a house with a 2 car garage so I can get this going right proper.

I recall reading about flat paint and elastomeric roof sealant being good for grow rooms awhile ago. But when you folks mentioned flat absorbing moisture and mildew control, I searched through several elastomerics. This one is siliconized acrylic so it should seal solid and is very reflective...

REALLY like that David Grisman group!
