In the first post is a link to growroom setup. Should have all the info you need for now. First link in my sig has more.

All the basic info for indoor growing can be found in the forums. Just have to put in the time to read.

Happy growing :jointsmile:

... but yeah, just put in some time around here, and you'll have more than enough info to take yer baba to full flower

If I may be so bold as to sum up the most important basic info:

#1: get a PH test kit. Should cost you no more than 4-5 pounds, or around 12 bux here in north america. PH going in to soil should be 5.9-6.5, for hydro, 5.5 to 5.9.

#2: give it as much light as you can. Flouro is ok, but you want to get 10,000 lumens per square foot, if you can.

#3: temperature; 78f / 26c is perfect; +5 or -5 off this is ok, but you need massive air circulation to compensate.

Watering should be whenever the plant dries almost completely out; then a full soak with some runoff. Nutrient feeding should be every second watering.

Hope this helps!
