another first timer

Hi i live in uk, i need to get some lights to set up 3 plants in a cupboard,

also any advice on soil in uk would be great (prefeblkey nothing too smelly) and if anyone knows a good fertilizer than thatll be nice too.

and i know the easy answer is search google but i have already and the problem is i can fidn good stuff but i definatley dont want to buy online.

so maybe if youy kmow the shops that do it too that would be really helpful thanks all!

also i want to paint the cupboard inside white, but friend says USE FOIL!
I have heard lods of ppl say foil is crap but than when i argued this to my friend he said i shud at least get plastic mirror things they use in art class.

thanks all. (i am growing: Cristal, Super Thai, and unknown) ( i plan to have at least 12 plants at first and pick out the nicest females to leave 3 in the cupboard the rest ill see)

lol thanks again....

Zelda,

I set up my closet white. I've read that white is more reflective than foil, but I've never personally used foil. Depending on how big your cupboard is, it might be easier to use foil plus there will be no fumes. As for soil, I'm using Ocean Forest by Fox Farm but I don't know if you can get that in the UK. Have a good grow and post some pics if you can.:thumbsup:

flat white on the walls is more reflective and less of a hazard than tin foil, you might want to reconsider that, and i believe a mirror soaks up light and doesnt reflect any.

Well ive set it up and here are some pics, at firts itll be home to 13 small plants and than ill chose only 3-2 plants oncei can tell whats happening...

so far only 4 planted and 9 germinating...

non breakin out of soil yet... lol but ill keep waiting ...:pimp:

i head tin foil can burn holes in ur plants but theres some good stuff call black and white polyfilm and this other stuff called reflective mylar but its kinda expensive
