First closet grow (Equipment)

[JoeSchmoe]

OK I went to some local hardware stores around the area i live in and bought some lights from the information i have gatherd.


I bought 4 x 27 watt Floresent bulbs as show in the pictures.
I also have 3x28 inch floresent lights that i will put near the sides.
And one 150 watts Compressed sodium light. I am going to put space blankets in the lining of my closet and try and mix the light types for optimal growing. I will be using a standard soil grow, but could use more info on the type of soild i should use and the type of fertalizers. I plan i growing 6 plants predicting that atleast 3 will be males, leaving me with 3 female plants.

your sodium light isnt low pressure sodium is it? those wont work, it will say high pressure sodium on it.

Good luck, sounds like my first grow. When i was kid i did a 3 plant flower in my closet at my parents house. I used two 4 foot flo's that put me at 160 watts. I had 2 sativas, and one indica. They actually turned out really nice considering all the cpar i used on them. I ended up with about 20-30 grams on each plant. Again good luck on your first grow!!!

Iv have been busy building since my last post. I bought a wardrobe approx 5.5 feet tall. It is particle board and had no back. So i bought a nice solid pine back for it and cut a hole for an intake bathroom fan. I then stuck the fan in sideways and attached it with 2 bottles of poxy. I then put 3 coats of water based pure white eggshell paint on the inside. Now im going to cut a 6" hole in the top and place my carbon filter that i created on the top. I bought a 6" inline fan that i am going to install when it arrives. I rethought my lighting and bought a bigger cfl. This baby is a 300watt T5 cfl. 12000 lumens on this thing. I also have that 150 watt Compressed sodium light that should do well for the flowering.

I just got my seeds from Gypsy nirvan,Flying dutchman royal orange. I also got a bag of 10 strain of Skunk X #1 south african. I have been reading that this strain is pretty hard to germinate, so i think im going to try and grow it first since i have never grown pot before.Will Germ seeds tonight and finish the box tommorow. Hopefully a 6" 1.4 foot high carbon filter is enought to hide any smell when they start to flower. I didnt realize how much fun this would be to build everything myself. I feal like im in grade 9 again at the science fair hehe. will post more pictures with my camera instead of phone when everything is completed.
