my 1st grow *don't hate me cos im dumb!!*

***all information on here is purely fictitious for a virtual game im playing **

hi guys,

first of the bat i am a complete newbie not only to the fine art of canabis cultivation but to any sort of horticulture at all!! so please excuse any fopahs made in this post

i am finally moving into a house that has space (still a tight squeeze, but space all the same) to get my self started.

I have looked into the necesites needed and have came to the conclusion that i am a F'in retard when it comes to research!!

My list consits of :-

budbox grow tent (75 x 75 x 160 intermediate)
BAL Digital greenhouse grow light 600W
BAL Digital timer
Plagron batmix 50L
Noise blocker SX2 120mm fan for intake
Silenx iXtrema Pro 80mm fan for exhaust

i want to try growing Mossy's gem for the autoflowering and size. I will probs only grow 3 plants max (its only for personals; one big smoke out every month or two)

The help i really need is in the detail; should i bite the bullet and grow hydro or airoponic? (budget not really an issue nut im not donal trump!)

What would the easiest way to set this up (as previously mentioned im a bit of a spazz and cutting down stuff i could mess up would help greatly)?

Does the list look ok? I know i need nutrients and stuff but i was hoping for advice on this.

Thanks again to all you great minds out there, i eagrly await your replies (the quicker i get this started the quicker i can stop paying these idiot dealers for crap quality weed!!)

** The reveloution will not be televised, it will be sitting in a smokey haze lighting a fat one. **

**HARD AS F**K lol**

calm down...breath take a few breaths.....your list looks good so far...as far as what to start off with i would suggest starting off with soil and getting a grow under your belt before looking into more advanced methods of hydroponics. soil is a lot more forgiving(in my experience)to learn in and make mistakes in than hydro........

Nicks right...

He is someone you can trust for good advice

thanks guys any help is more than apreciated. just get myself in a pickle with all the different ways to grow. ill defo go with soil then, should i use perlite or wormcasings. i think the soil i have choosen have stuff mixed through prior to sale but im not sure. what about the seed any suggestions in this respect, as i said i was thinking mossys gem or nyc lowryder, again down to the autoflowering and quick growth.

P.S. nick nice plant!! thats a day or twos worth of smoke right there!! ha

If you are doing an indoor grow, first i would highly suggest soil for the first couple grows. Second of all, if you splurge on anything and spend extra money, i would say it should be on some dank soil. Many lower quality soils come with pests straight out of the bag, i promise. Take some time to research some good soils such as fox farm or happy frog. Pests in a relatively small space can devestate a first time grower. Be very mindfull of your clenliness and trust me and go the extra mile for some good ass soil. The soil itself is more forgiving, and peole here on rui will be able to help you out should you run into drainage problems etc. I would also buy some perlite and keep it handy should you need when you transplant or what not.

Also keep safety in mind and security. If you get busted it doesnt matter what kind of equipment you have.

no problem man...just keep it simple and you cant fail. plants need lights, air, water, and nutrients to grow..thast it..everything else is step 2. figure out how to give it the essentials in a proper and succesful fashion and you build from there...look for a book called indoor/outdoor growers bible by jorge cervantes. its full of info and its super easy to follow....

i would suggest not doing an autoflowering strain

Why would you suggest not doing an autoflowering strain...not saying i dont agree with you, just curious why you would suggest that?

got the book on order, thanks again!

ill keep you guys posted with some pics once i get it off the drawing board.

two quick questions tho; is the plagron batmix no good? it was recomended by someone.
and is there a problem with the autoflowering ie low quality smoke etc?

you cant adjust veg time to your needs, you cant take clones.

Mossy's gem? never heard of this...
