It will soon become painfully obvious to you all that I have never grown before. I have been wanting to for a few years, but didn't really know how. Never really thought to search the Web just because I figured it would all be hush hush. Now I have more information than I can process. My budget is pretty flexible. I could do $8k or more if necassary. I want to maximize my space for a high yield.
I have an upstairs bedroom that is attached to a full bath that I am going to try and set up a grow in. Main space is 10ft x 13ft. I plan on actually growing in a 10x10 portion of it. I figure I can use the bathroom and shower for cloning, mother and a drying/curing area. Only one window in main room and another small one in the bathroom so I can shut out all light. I plan on putting down some heavy duty plastic drop cloth to help protect the carpet floors. Bathroom has a vent in the ceiling that I figure I can attach a fan and ducting to or maybe use either window. Climate here is pretty cool and relatively dry. My basic plan so far is to buy 6 California Light Works Solarsystem 550 LED lights and keep it simple and grow in soil. Although I am game to go hydro, but really would need a ton of help with setup and design. This is where I start to get lost. If I go soil what should I use? Local shop has fox farms, etc. Size and setup for containers? How many in my space? Should I go with COBs from Timbergrowlights? The CA lights Solarsystem 550 looks really nice and seems like a good price for the coverage it provides.
Clean slate for going buck wild. I rather do it right answer spend the money now than do it over again. Ease of setup is for sure the preference, but not the priority. Help a total noob out.
