Hey there, been doing my research and a lot of reading on here! I'm gonna start growing some bud and thought I'd post my set-up and see what kind of advice you guys could offer.

I planted my germinated seeds (pics below) today so this is day 1. They're easy buds from femaleseeds.nl and they seem good for a first grow because of the shorter yield time. I got a 400 watt HPS and, as you can see. it's in a spare wardrobe. The soil is good stuff too, lots of worm casings and perlite, has the right PH etc :thumbsup:

So, I've just planted the seeds and I have them in under the HPS now for a few hours. It really dries out that soil and it's quite a few feet above it. Should I turn off the lamp and wait for the seedlings to come through before resuming the lamp?

In another picture, you can see my nutes. They're organic and as you can, they're for growing, flowering and the fish mix is an all-rounder. I'm just curious when to start using them and how much?

On the to-do list is:

Get a fan
Get some blackout blinds (or something similar)
Get a PH tester, thermometer and timer!

Phew, lots of effort but it'll be worth it. As its my first grow, I'm not expecting miracles. I just want to learn first. Plus I'm going on vacation in 8 weeks so I'll probably be rushing it a bit (flowering and harvesting a tad early I'd say).

Anyway, what do you guys think? Am I missing anything glaringly obvious?

Cheers,

Dr. Z :rasta:
