OK. I'm new here I just started my first closet grow room. I will get pics up when I can. but let me start by telling you where I am at now and and I hope you guys can help me get to where I would like to be.
I'll start with why. My wife has serious migraine head aches and I have back problems we have been to the doctors and taken all the opiates and other prescribed drugs with no good results. we started using pot and it was like a god send. it clears her head aches out in a matter of minutes and takes care of my back pain quick with out the bad affects of the opiates. I am X- Mormon so taking drugs is ,well was foreign to me and i still don't like doing it but! it actually works. I don't want to deal with dealers and I want control over what I'm using and by growing i also have the ability to have verity.
here is my plan: I don't want to grow more than one plant at a time. (I wont have more than one at a time) it is for personal use only. My state has legalized it but it has a few hiccups in there there plan so it is being ironed out. I'm not looking to grow a mother plant yet because like I said earlier I want to grow verity for a while and see what I like. So I will purchase different seeds from different strains until I know what I like than I will work on perfecting the growth of that strand.
what i have now: I have 2 plants growing as we speak...yes I know it go's agents what I said about having only 1 at a time BUT!!!! I got the seeds from 2 separate bud purchases and I don't know if they are female or male they may both turn out to be mail's and they may both need to be scrapped i don't know yet! I am starting with these in order to get my room started and work out any possible kinks before I start growing expensive seeds. I sprouted them in a wet cloth than transferred them to potting soil where they grew for 4 weeks before moving them to the larger pots and putting them in the closet.
grow room specs so far: this room is 3'x3' at this point the plants are 6" tall and look to be from different strains... At this point the closet is lined with aluminum foil on all sides I have a small fan with a co2 generator that I built I will use it for a while than switch to a tank. I have 2 lights in there rite now one is a 100w 2500 lumen bulb the other is a UVA, UVB light the largest one I could find the lights are set on a timer rite now they get about 10 hours of light.
I have not set up ventilation yet but I will. suggestions on CFM for a room 3'x3'x7' I will be ordering my carbon filter & fans next week so input on CFM would help in that decision.
I am growing in soil only for at least the first year and what I'm having trouble with is nutrients i have researched read and watched for days and the nutrients are what confuse me. There are so many diffrent opinions out there on the subject.
-so opinions on lighting what types of bulbs how many and where to get them? (do i have the right ones now?)
-CFM for the ventilation
-help clear up nutrients
-any other suggestions
I will get pics within the next month
