Thanks for your input guys! Its much appreciated! :thumbsup:

I'm still in the planning stages at the minute, I'm reading up and learning as much as I can..... I want to get everything ready to start in the next month or so...

I'm thinking Afghan Kush feminized for my first variety as It is supposed to yield quite well and be reasonably easy to cultivate for a beginner (high tolerance to over fertilization & watering) and is mostly indica so will stay very short for my indoor space...

I think I'm gonna stick with CFLs...although the light doesnt penetrate as well as HPS...I can play around with different numbers and wattages until I get the correct balance of light and temperature in my grow room....and then whilst growing keep them very...very close to the plants as possible....

Just learning about PH at the minute! (taking rusty's sound advice)

Although I'm swaying a bit on making a decision on which potting mix to use...

I was thinking of using a seed potting compost to start the seedlings and then transfer into canna terra professional soil mix...veg for 2 weeks then start nutes (canna flores) after the first week of 12/12 changeover.....

Doest this sound like a reasonable plan? Any vets out there? your help is more than welcome and much appreciated!! :thumbsup:
