Welcome to the boards

Check out the first link in my sig, a lot of good info there. I'd recommend doing a lot of reading in the next couple weeks before starting, it'll save you a lot of headaches. :thumbsup:

Lighting sounds good so far.

You can use just about any regular potting soil and add 25-30% perlite, but if starting from seed then look into a seedling starter soil with some perlite.

You'll also need several different pots, with the largest being 5 gallons, ph test kit, cannabis-specific nutrients, a fan for moving air around, ventilation to get rid of old air and bring in new, and perhaps a carbon filter for odor control.

Also check out this thread and there is a link to growroom setup in the first post:http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...-dankness.html

99.9% of the information you need to successfully grow can be found on this site. Use the search function, read the FAQ's and stickies at the top of each forum, then ask specific questions if you still have them.

Happy growing :jointsmile:
