Hi all.. yes I'm kinda new here and to growing also, but I've visited this site for a while reading up on growing, but I still have a few questions. I'm hoping you might be able to give your opinions on what I'm planning at present, and tell me if I've got things wrong.
I'm moving into my own place at the end of this month, and eventually I plan to convert the attic space, but given I've never grown anything from a seed before I wondered if you can just grow a plant in an ordinary pot by the window?
I planned to try this just to get my feet wet before the conversion in the attic, but will that method have any success?
I planned to germinate the seeds using the advice on this site, and plant them right into compost in a pot, and perhaps use a small lamp to provide light and generally just grow it in the spare room.
The missus is worried about converting the attic too, as she thinks the heat will be picked up by gov agents (lol, what has she been toking on?) Anyway, if I get one or two lights up there (perhaps fluorescent? These don't give off much heat right?) then that would be a good way to start.
No doubt I'll need to section the attic space off for different purposes, but since I intent to gather seeds from some of the plants for re-growing, what is the best set up other than the usual Veg/Flower lighting arrangement?
Thanks for any advice you can offer me, I'll no doubt be around here often in the next months.
