I am going to start my first grow in a few months and was wondering what everyone recommends for lighting and nutrients. Right now my basic idea is to use my storage closet in the apartment I will be living at to store roughly 5 seeds. Three of the seeds will be Apollo 11s by Spice Brothers. The other two I believe are white rhino seeds, I got them from a friend about 6 months back and what to see what they are. Each plant will have its own 5 gallon bucket. I was also wondering if I should start more than 5 seeds in case some don't sprout or if some turn out to be male. If I do this, would it be worth it to use something like two seeds per bucket and clear out the males?
I was wondering what kind of wattage I would want for this. I was thinking like 2 MH/HPS 1000 watt lamps. Is this too much? I think I have the basics of this stuff down, but I am completely unsure what wattage is best for lamps, at least a min and a max I guess. As a note, the close I will be using is about 7 feet to the ceiling and about 5 feet deep. What kind of nutrients does everyone find to work the best? I do plan on using a soil medium. How does everyone prefer to start their seeds as well and then transfer in to what?
Thanks for the help and information
