Whats going on everyone? I thought i'd join the crowd and make my 1st attempt at growing. I've been thinking bout it for the last couple of months and a few days ago I got up the gumption to do it. The last couple of weeks I've been up and down this forum reading and trying to soak up as much knowledge so to speak. I'm open for all types of advice/help, anything helpful. I can do w/o the "try searching." I'm going to continue to browse the forums so I just think that there's really no need to preach to the choir.

Now...I'll give you a run down of my set up and all. Thanx to Bodom I decided to use his idea given the amount of space I have. (Stay in an apartment building ) That guy is a genius, my hat is definitely off to you. Pics attached

Seeds : Just some bagseed that I've had sitting around. It's what my 1st two plants are. Got seeds that should be here in the next couple of days thanx to Gypsy Nirvana Seeds. The two strains being Blue Mystic and Double Gum. I didnt want to spend too much on seeds considering this was my first go at it.

Soil : Right now I'm using an organic soil called Expert Gardener from Wally World. It's supposedly already got some type of organic fertilizer in it. Also added some perlite to keep that water in there, about a 2:1 mixture of soil/perlite. Idk if thas a good or bad thing, someone know?

Ventilation : I have a 4" computer fan mounted to the top half of my rubbermaid set up. It acts as an exhaust to pull all the heat from the lights. I'm working on gettin a thermometer/humidity reader. Anyone know where I can get one for cheap? On the bottom half of my Rubbermaid setup I have a 2" passive intake that brings in air - no light which is good.

Lighting : I'm running 2 - 26 watt 6500K daylight GE's that I got from Wally world. And 4 - 23 watt I wanna say 6500K also, not GE's though Walmart brand. They arent as white either, more of a warm glow. You can see from the pictures

I have some Expert Garden plant food that I really dont want to mess with yet cause I dunno the effects it may have so early. Please everyone have mercy, I'm new to this, everyone started out somewhere. I'm trying to what I can with the space I have and I'm hoping for the best!!! Here's some pics of the things I've used to get the ball rolling...
