there are a good number of self contained tents out there that work very well or you could dedicate a room to your grow it is up to you. Hanna makes very good and reliable pens so that would be a good name to search and can be bought off E-bay even. TDS that you put up looks high to start. also how do you plan to start? Germ seeds? have access to clones? Another thing to read a lil on would be nutes. I myself have used nothing but GH 3-Part and they are even nice enough to give someone starting out mixture ratios right on the label for the different grow stages :thumbsup:
I understand the HUH Homework part but believe me take a lil bit of time and do a lil research and it will save on some headaches later when your not sitting in front of the puter waiting for somebody to reply to your Help!! Post :jointsmile:
