First time grower, Grow kits and seeds

[Automadnnessss]

Hi,
So recently I’ve been amused with Autoflower seeds and I’ve been wanting to give it a go for quite some while. I haven’t really done this before so I’m not really experienced. Well just to start of I want to know if you guys have any recommendations on any grow kits that are ideal for me, I’m only wanting to start of with 2 grows. I also want to know any recommendations to which seeds I should use. I really want to use the XXL plants, so I want to make sure I get reliable seeds.

Also because this is my first ever time I don’t really understand the plant feeding process, because I’ve seen some videos and it gets really complexed when they start feeding it nutrients and other food to help the grow be bigger and better, I just want a better understanding of these products.

XXL doesn't necessarily mean bigger plants. Stick with a known quality seed breeder such as Dinafem (my favorite), Mephisto (liberal freebies), Royal Queen, Dutch Passion, Sweet seeds, Fast Buds to name a few.

First thing, decide the max amount of plants you will grow. This will determine the size of grow area you will need.

This in turn helps you choose lights needed, how many cfm you need and lots of other things.

Start your plants in soil. It will be more forgiving for your first grow. If issues arrise you will have more time to respond to them.
Pick a plant for beginners, even if you get less yield from the genetics, it will be far easier to maintain! Dont try to go overboard assuming you can grow just any.

Nutrients, there are all sorts of them, pick one that would intrest you (or read revies) generally its ml per gallon of water week by week basis. You will require at minimum aomething to measure pH along with your nutes. Ppm meter is ideal as well.

Good quality lights, top shelf genetics, good nutrition (tailored for cannabis)
Don't skimp on the important things so you can have more "bells and whistles".

All the genetics listed above fit the bill.

I have some mephisto gold glue, a small strain, I can run 9 in a 4x4. But if I ran their Hubbabubba Haze, 2 would have my 4x4 packed.

Learn to walk before you run, go with a simple nutrient line, and after you've seen the how plants do their thing, and your place in it, you can start trying all the other stuff to refine your own personal style.

I went with a 1 plant super soil approach for my first plant.

It helped to focus because otherwise I’d want to use the scientific method and try every possible combination.

Still got the itch to try everything when I should’ve learned the LITFA alone principle I read about here.

FWIW, I went with an all in one kit from http://apotforpot.com.

10/10 would do it again.

I would have to agree with all the above posts.....its all good advice,one thing in mind you also have to consider is the type of high you would also like etc etc,as your just starting out you want something with a bit of forgiveness especially if you dont have alot of time to attend to your girls,for example im still working 12 hour days by the time i get home etc its 14 hours of work,driving,you know the drill so the last thing i want is to spend an hour down in with tye girls fixing,diagnosing problems,until i have more time up my sleeve,so just grew a few northern lights autos.....i grew them years ago when i first started autos and have never let me down...somw autos are very temperamental,fussy,etc etc....good luck.
