Check your prices with this place.. they say they'll price match anyone. Might be cheaper. www.ehydroponics.com

I'm a 400 watter too. I'm just limited by space but with work and if you can mange to have a area for vegging on the side and keep the 400 for flower you'll do plenty fine for personal smoke.

I'd start with a simple soil grow. 4 plants under a 400 is nice. Get a good simple nute like Supernatural terra grow and bloom. It's super easy to use. If you can measure a teaspoon and a few gallons of water then you'll do great. You can get fancy and try all kinds of things but you'll only know if it's better or not if you do a basic soil grow first. Hydro will cost you some more money. A little more set up cost and you'll need to mess with your water chemistry more. pH and such plus have a meter or something to read your pH.. then there is TDS and if you want to read that or not.

Anyhow, I'm glad you're stoked about this also. It's a very empowering thing when you start to grow your own.

Look forward to seeing your grow thread. :)

You don't need to grow "exotics" with hydroponics. The best ingredient you can put into a grow is tender love and care. That will ensure good yield.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but instead of asking everyone to give you the answers, you should do some poking around in the forum yourself first. Here's a good thread to get you started: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/937-how-grow-marijuana.html

And here's another: https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/410353-everything-i-wish-i-knew.html

That should get the basics down.

Any time you have a question do a search through this forum AND Google before asking a question.

hi lads, im also a noob and am about to begin growing my first own bud.

ive gathered information for a week now and here is a list of equipments im going to be using....after you folk's suggestions. Please feel free to tell me whats good/wrong with these equipments, or even how to get cheaper versions. Im going to plant 4 plants aiming around 80cm tall as room is an issue for me.

1. Dimmable lumatek digital ballast 600W ($263)
2. Sunmaster 400W and 600W Dual spectrum grow lamp - 55,000 and 90,000 lumens respectively ($63)
3. Euro budget reflector ($30)
4. pair of easy-roll adjusters ($12)
5. maxiswitch 2-way light controller (10A) - day/night ($63)
6. RUCK100A - acoustic ducting - 230m3/hr - good for 600watts of light ($191)
7. budget 5 filter use for 125mm ($70)
8. bud box 75cm x 75cm x 100cm ($124)

Total of $814 but with discount and finding some other cheaper prices on ebay i believe i can get it down to around $650

Is this a good setup though? i dont have the chance to talk to anyone about it so i rely fully on this forum but people tend not to reply my threads....

Also do i need another fan for inlet/exhaust?

And is the 2 way light controller really necessary?


What other equipments apart from nutrients and soil that i need?




SORRY about all the questions, just cant stand to wait anymore to ask one question one by one.



Looking forward to hear from you guys :)

no not you the original poster... I would get a good inline fan 6 inch.. bout 100 bucks.. also the light controller is not needed with 1 light.. you can get a standard timer from walmart.. bout 5 bucks. They are rated at 15 amps.. way over the 6 or so ur light draws...

I have done plenty of research, alotaball so dont say i have not. I just like to get others perspectives, wats wrong with that? Anyways I thank everybody, I have been on vacation and had plenty of time to think everything over. And i am ready, im just going to do it the oldschool way my first grow and see how that works out. Then i maybe will try something with hydrophonics. So everybdy keep a eye open I will post in this forum again b4 i start a grow journal should be pretty sweet.

So I have been doing sum more research alotaball and found some intresting information. So here it is, I heard that white widow can be hard to grow for my first time wat your opinion on this. Second I was thinkn about jus goin frm 12-12 from seed with the white widow and northern lights and i know its possible but should I just do it the old fashion way for the first time?? And also thought about lst with my plants also, I know people do this for the bottom buds of the plant n also want a even canopy for better light on the whole plant. I just want to know everything and anything b4 I start this grow. Thanks

would anybdy consider 12/12 from seed and if so wat would you say i could come out with by grams with a set-up for 6-4 plants all females

Huh.. my take would be that if you're going to do it, do it right and large. But, that's just me.. Never done 12/12 from seed so I couldn't tell you about yield but.. I wouldn't expect much.
