Hey guys, I just started posting here today, reading through a ton of threads and you've all given me the confidence to want to start my own small little experiement.
My question is about growing space, as I have a pretty limited area to start a grow in my house. Basically what I've narrowed it down to is a spot inside my closet.
What I'm looking to do is use a large piece of Mylar Sheeting to create a curtain of sorts and turn the right part of my closet, which is about 1'x3' in to the growing area. About 6 feet from the floor is a shelf which I'd plan to hang 2 or 3 CFLs from (hopefully on a contraption which will let me lower and raise the height of the lights, not sure how to do that yet). The nice thing is, the walls are painted white, and with the Mylar sheet I'd have a nice small area, and could just push the sheet to the side when I need to get in.
I'd be using CFLs; both cold and warm, pots I'm not sure on but I think grow bags might be best, a small fan on the stems, rockwool for the initial veg, and undecided on soil/nutes.
My question is will this be adequate space for 1 or 2 plants? I'm looking to grow some stuff we can't get around here, maybe White Widow, Black Pearl, or some kind of Pure Indica/Kush(mmmm).
Also, I've seen a lot of debate on soils but nothing conclusive for me. Would a soilless compouned be best with a 15-10-10 fertilizer for vegetation and 5-25-10 for flowering? Or is straight soil with just water a bit more successful?
Thanks for reading my wall of text guys! Wish me luck
