I've been lurking in these forums for a few days now and I'm already hooked! Tons of great advice that I can't wait to apply to this hobby. I've taken the past few weeks to decide where I think the most secure place to grow will be and what the best equipment for my -current- needs are. I am only looking to grow for personal use more so for quality than anything. So far I've decided that a 400W HPS ScrOG grow will best suit my goals. The equipment I've already purchased (being delivered tomorrow) consists of the following:
1x GrowLab 80 Tent 2.7'x2.7'x5.5'
1 x Digilux 400W HPS Grow Bulb Enhanced Blue Spectrum --- I may purchase a MH for vegging as I hear they really enjoy being subjected to differing light spectrum's
1 x Sunlight Cool Sun 6 Air Cool Horizontal Reflector w.Glass Lens - Some may say 6" venting is overkill for this size tent, but hey it can't hurt! Plus it gives me a viable upgrade path to follow down the road if I want to say -- expand?
1 x Lumatek 400W 120/240V Dimmable Electronic Ballast --I plan on running the light @ 250W using the dimming feature for the first few weeks of veg.
1 x Phresh® Filter 6in x 24in Virgin Carbon -- This is probably the most overkill part of my gear set. I DO NOT WANT ANY SMELLS AT ALL, PERIOD. I live in a townhome and am going to be exhausting this back into my unfinished part of my basement. My theater is on the other side which gets a lot of use -- and visitors! Plus the extra sufrace area should really help scrub any unwanted smells. Ona gel is on the -to do- list as well!
1 x Perma Duct Premium Air Ducting 6"x25'
1 x Active Air 6" 400 CFM In-line Duct Fan -- Again, 400CFM is overkill for my setup, but I'd like to only buy key pieces once! My goal was to get an inline fan with 400CFM and a Filter with 500+.
At this point I have most of the gear needed for a solid first grow attempt. I am still lacking a few important items such as Nutes (considering FoxFarm?) and various meters etc. Anything else I am lacking?
I went ahead in my eagerness to get a jump on this hobby and placed an order for quality strains before doing a lot of research on them. Can any of you shed some light on basic grow charateristics for the below strains? I am looking for a ScrOG grow that may consist of one topping very early. Very similar to what Verde did here (GrowLab 80 - G13 Pineapple Express ... [200w T5 veg / 400w HPS flower]). Which two seeds would you grow first?
I am also expecting a seed order from Attitude which consists of the following:
Product: Finest Medicinal Seeds Northern Lights 5 Haze
Product: Nirvana Seeds Ice
Product: Nirvana Seeds Bubblelicious
Product: G13 Labs White Widow
Product: Barneys Farm Critical Kush
Product: FEMINIZED UFO #1 Delicious Seeds Critical Sensi Star
Product: FEMINIZED UFO #2 G13 Labs Raw Diesel
