Just wanted to say hello. I've been using cannabis since 2008 to treat my severe muscle spasms and neuropathic pain as a result of a motor vehicle crash in 1994. I don't know how successful I'll be as a grower but I've been researching autos for a bit and think I can handle them....worth a shot! I'm going to start with just two in a shorty gorilla grow tent but I'm not sure what led to choose. I plan to have my tent vented also. Now let me go learn from all of you!!

What is your budget for light, how big is your tent?

Vented air thru carbon free is essential, especially if you have to be a stealth grower

You will definitely want to research CBD strains. In general, they offer the best on the therapeutic side. Seed breeders have come a long way and now one can tailor grows for specific maladies.

My Gorilla tent experience was not a good one and I came to the conclusion that the expensive tents aren't worth the high price tags they carry.

Welcome !!!
I just started consuming at the end of Dec of 2018 and started growing end of Jan (or so) of 2019. I bought a couple of SANSI lights from Amazon. 40 Watt lights, which are not equivalent at all to 40 watt incandescent. more like an 800 watt (equivalent) bulb. Grew some nice Autos to start and have a photoperiod (unknown strain) now moved outside all big and bushy. I know LED measure in a different way, using PAR, but in Lumens the 2 really put out the Lumens. I'll attach link to the light and picture graph of the light spectrum. Many folks use these for other plants indoors with great success. I keep this in mind, 1000Watt bulb will burn 1000W or 1 kw and if it's on 1 hour uses 1 kw of electricity. Let's say your Kw costs are 13.9 cents or 14 cents (national average... Michigan is 16cents ) so you run 16 hours of light a day on timer. .14 x 16hrs = $2.24 / day X 30 days in month = $67.20 extra electricity consumed above and beyond what your normal electric bill is. 4 months of running 1000 W bulb 16 hours a day, will cost you an extra $268.80 of electricity to grow just the weed. I'm cheap. I use 2 X 40 Watt and that is 80W total (but actually on SANSI it is more ike 37 watts per bulb. Did I mention they are BRIGHT and full spectrum? So I try to keep electric costs in line with our budget. A good mylar grow tent that has reflective sides top and bottom will do wonders for channeling lights down thorough the plant. I would even turn the plants at least 1 time during the light hours so that different areas would be hit a little more intense.
