Hey guys, first time growers here in the UK. We've only been researching for a couple of days, and we're looking for some advice. So this is what we thought of doing. We would appreciate any corrections and recommendations on our set up, below is what we plan to do. We will be growing indoors and only just 3-4 plants.
What we plan to use:
fox farm nutrients
organic coco peat, coco coir (http://tinyurl.com/ofxaepw)
fluorescent light bulb 150w to 200w
HID light bulb 250w to 1000w
tap water
foil as a reflector
We have the seeds, which we will germinate with a damp paper towel till it sprouts, in which then we plant into a plastic cup with the coco. We will be using the fluorescent lightbulb for a few weeks and we'll use the foil as reflectors to intensify the light. we water with tap water as needed until close to vegetative state in which then we transfer the plants to a pot and then we switch to a HID light bulb, and also from then on start to use the fox farm nutrients.
We're not hardcore growers, so were just going with the basics for now. If anyone could give me basic tips to improve the grow, that would be greatly helpful. A few questions i have are, how much nutrients do we use and when? Also, would coco be good to use as a medium, I heard people saying it contains no nutes at all, so we have to provide all of it. (If coco is not a good option, would biobizz all-mix be good to use? heard someone say it is good but not sure)
