New Grower Need an overview of my plan

[Nima_orange]

Well the plan was for me to get a pc case or a box and modify it so i could fit fans and the light fixture in there. I am planning to do 1 or 2 in the area.I will use some mylar in there and use a home made carbon filter and if the smell gets too much i wull just get a bigger case and buy a small carbon filter. So my plan wuz to start it off in jiffy pellets and move them into some standard compost. and keep it in this all the way and using light feeds all the way through. I am going to buy a cfl lead which can hold upto 250 W but by starting off i will only use like 60 W and kick it up to 80-125 W 1 month into it. The lead uses an E40 fitting so i will be using a e27 to E40 converter at first. By using a less wattage required bulb will it only use that power? For example if im using a 50 W bulb into a socket that can hold upto 125 W il still be using 50 W of power right? Also if there are other better ways to set up i would love to know! thanks

These are the equipment im going to get first so if you guys could help me by reviewing my choices and where and what I coudl get instead. bearing in mind that i dont expect a super quality yield this is just for fun. Budget is kind of an issue so i dont really want to spend too much either

Ur flowering bulb is actualy for veg U need 2700k for flowering and 6500k for veg You could also buy 125-200w. they cost like 50€/piece. Idk thats up to you. Anyways looking forward to your journal

damn i missed that! will have to chose the 2700k bulb for flower instead. Nice catch there lol. but to you does it all seem ok?

It seems okay to me. I have biobizz bloom for myself. But I also have Advanced Nutrients Grow (veg) nuts, the thing is AN nuts are PH perfect, so my opinion is they are better. Cant say they are becouse i havent tested them separetly but i guess if u dont thave to worry about Ph thats one bonus. If you intend to use BioBizz, you should also buy their soil mix, since it should be more compatible. Thoes jiffy things are good, i've used them myself before a few years and they didnt dissapoint me. Thats just my opinion. Happy growing

Ah right yeh going to deffo have a journal and would i have any troubles with pests? Also im stuck on wether i should use passive intake or have fans at both sides. What i was thinknig is have 2 small fans at the bottom and have one large fan at the top. Would this be fine?

 

[Nima_orange]

Also tottaly forgot about the PH meter. Since budget is an issue should i rather switch to organic style? Or would using less feed and using RO water be ok for soil?

Considering the fans, I think as long as u have exhaust on top and intake on bottom it should be fine. You will se how it performs in real time once u start it
You can just try it like that, maybe u wont have pH problems I never had them! or you can buy cheap Ph testers for a few bucks if u dont have the budget to buy an electronic one Good luck
