What Am I Missing?! Soil Growers

Hi all, I am fairly new to this site, but have been reading alot. I have a very basic grow set up now with one plant. It was my first try so I just started with one to see if I could keep the damn thing alive. Now that it is flourishing and dankier than ever I want to expand my grow op so I'm trying to come up with the perfect materials list for an indoor soil grow. Before I actually sprout my beans and start this thing figured I could start a thread looking for advice directed at my specific grow specifications for any and all experienced soil growers. Here's what I got so far... any and all advice welcome. I got some real nice beans (i.e. Bubba Kush, Ak-47, and Panama Red... Also looking into a few other strains on Attitude) I have (2) 10' x 10' x 2' closets one wil be dedicated to a 20/4 light schedule for the mothers and the other 12/12 for the clones. I have about 1/2 this list and currently working on obtaining the rest, let me know if I missed anything. Thanks for reading. (Pic is my first lil girl I grew, so dope (bubba kush))

Material:

Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
Fox Farm Nute Trio

(1) 400w mh/hps
(2) 2' 18w plant&aquarium flouro's
(4) 30w cfl's

ppm meter
Rockwool cubes 1.5'' for clones
(10) 5 gal. buckets
Rootech Cloning Gel
Spray Bottle
(2) 4'' fans
30x Pocket Microscope
Also considering a Co2 tank? ( How vital would this be )

Any advice anyone? Really wondering about co2. Is the the tank a necessity? Talkn maybe 10 plants. Would a sugar yeast homeade mixture be needed? Any use of c02 needed for mothers? Or better off just stickn with nutes and good lighting?

CO2 is no good if you dont have everything else down.

So it's more of a final element type of thing?

yes, a maximizing variable. If you feel confident go for it but get a monitor so you don't die. Good luck

With out spending a lot of money at first you could use sugar and yeast and I think viniger and baking soda. On here is a thread about these methods releasing a lot more co2 than your more expensive systems. You just can not controll them aswell.

co2 only makes sense if you are rocking a serious and preferrably sealed grow room, closets aren't serious or sealed. You and or your family and or pets are all the co2 supply you need. There is nothing to be gained from 400w in a closet with co2 added that's like supercharging a geo metro.

My advice to you is learn the laws in your state very well and keep your plant count down.

You don't have a lot of options with just 400w and a few flouro's... One closet should be plenty, keep your plant count below serious state levels, look up the limits, or you could find yourself in tent city with sheriff joe arpaio just for a bunch of little twigs. A few plants vegged larger is probably safest for you.

You'll have to wear everything in pink and the dogs live in the a/c cell blocks. That sheriff joe arpaio is Fother Mucker

Haha been there done that... Thanks guys I appreciate the info, I'm gonna go ahead and pass on the co2 for this grow... As you may know prop 203 passed and my wife has her medical card, so "she" is legally preparing to grow up to 12 plants. So were thinking 10... Want to avoid the whole jail thing, but grow enough personal to hopefully never have to buy a sack again. Again thanks guys and any more advice is greatly appreciated.

If I grow ten plants outside of nothernlights or kush I be rich mf. 500-600 a zip hell yea.

Holy shit idk anyone that pays that for a zip
275-400 max

Funny you say that tho... Just pick up some hydro Northern Lights...Nice looking buds... Check my Bubba kush chillin wit my dog, Butters!! Blaz'n

Well in my neck of the woods its very hard to find good stuff so the drugdealers are selling the shitest dirt aka boby brown weed for 300 a zip. Im not paying that much for a headache.

I love that color of the bud. Ive never tried NL before. Cant wait for nex summer.

It's not my favorite, but definately a worthy smoke being a indica fan and all... sry bout that weed sitch bro... get out here sometime get a ozer of the NL for 3... headaches 40 an oz. Good luck to ya man... Happy smokn!!

you do any outdoors

Haven't experimented yet just indo, my current living situation. Its just easier. I would love to have an outdo garden too tho

me too, so Im going guerilla

Nice, I havent done that myself, but I gotta couple friends that do that in the mountain ranges around here... not bad stuff either... I got plenty of room indoors though, so Im gonna stick with that

howdy ho neighbor

looks like you are very prepared and know what u are doing. the only thing i would do is just go 18/6 and save yourself 60 hrs a month. its your decision tho. good luck
