hello everyone,

yesterday i start my first indoor grow, after 3 months research , and trying to do low-cost but quality also somehow :)

my setup:
room size: 4.5x3.5m
soil: general flower soil from the shop ph6.5-7 / 600lt=62€
perlit: 120lt 3-5mm / 15€
light : 3x 400w sunmaster dual pro-v-t with ballast/ 270€
reflector: 3x hood 50cmx50cm aircooled, made by a local company/ 34€
vents: 1 x for fresh air vents vko 150(300mc/h), 3 x exhaust vents vko 100(280mc/h) / 48€
fan: 2x fan with rotation / 40€
pots:60x 10lt , in the shop I find just transparent :) I will paint white from outside / 48€
pipes: normal alu, 1x 150/4m, 4x 100/4m / 31€
seed: 60pcs northern ligt auto from greenhouse seeds co / 330€

post pic what I finished yesterday with fresh air pipe. I will put in the front of the pipe rotating vent, hope mix the air int the room. also put the exhaust pipe direct to attic what will keep the lights cool.

any good advice ?

sorry for my bad English

0 Think about your safety, carbon filter, electric wiring etc
1 keep your grow-place clean!
2 Is that soil ok ?
3 water and feed?
4 Monitor your numbers ! temp! humidity!
5 have fun!
 
next week I'm planning to buy hydro/temp meter, the ph I will check with test paper.the ec meter right now is a dream :( to expensive.

for feeding ionic soil grow&bloom just 50% because no ec meter.

the carbon filter not really needed in the middle of mountains, no neighborhoods in 100mtr, hope from attic disappear slowly the smell, how I heard the northern light auto is with low smell just the last few week a bit.

the electricity will be simple , the main power cable is 3x4 and for lights and rest 3x1,5. without any timer :) I'm time millionaire
 
If you have 60 plants flowering in your house the smell will be uncomfy ! If people pass your house like mail man etc (better safe than sorry):2cents:
 
thinking how can I do a carbon filter, didn't find any active carbon here in local markets , and on Internet is to expensive. if I use wood carbon ? will absorb the smell?
