Starting from scratch little advice needed.

Ive just spent the entire day reading through different threads and learning about the fundimentals of growing my own dank.

Ive chosen to buy some single seeds (feminised) so I can get going without worrying about growing any male plants and this way I get to sample a good few different strains.

So far I have chose these strains and will buy 1 seed of each to keep the costs down.

G13
Blueberry
Power Plant
Power Skunk
Cheese
White Rhino
Wonder Woman
Big Bang


I will buy a 600w bulb with ballast for flowering and a 400w for veg.

Mylar to line the inside of my closet
A fan maybe a PC one
Rockwool and some pots


What else will I need to get me thru the first few weeks before I actually reach the flowering stage.

btw I will be using some sort of vertical system to maximise space my closet is 3 X 3 and 8 ft high.

Any advice will be welcomed and appreciated

That is a great plan, can you buy single seeds that is awesome. You will need more fans than a little pc fan though. In a small 3 foot tall cab with 250W I run a 270 CFM fan through my cooltube and it is still 84 in there. I have never used rockwool and cannot hate on it, but if it were my first grow I would tell you to use soil it is much more forgiving than anything I have used in the hydro world. If you have experience with this and feel confident go for it, but I would go with plain old organic soil and some love the old fashion way for less to go wrong.

so are you growing hydro or soil?

Not sure, seeing its my first grow I think Im gonna take the soil route until I gain some experience.

So I will need a bigger fan than a poxy PC one so I will look into that right now, also I will need to use a carbon scrubber of some sort to mask the smell at some point once I get to the flowering stage.

Anymore advice?

you are going to need to invest in some nutes.

and if you plan on using a carbon scrubber then you will need a pretty powerful fan in comparison to a pc fan..
