I'm not gonna lie. I steered clear of coco cuz I was straight intimidated. I think any first time grower using it has big cajones. So...heres to your big balls!

Hey there!

Go for COB lights. Cheaper, more efficient, use less energy. And if you're handy, you can put one together by yourself. [emoji106] [emoji6]

@Eclectic Elle just put one together by herself.

Hello , I would start off 1/4 strength on day 7 , then work up to 1/2 on next feeding then 3/4 so on ... hope this helps

Yup, I start at 350 ppm around day 7 to 10. And I don't feed again until I see the ppm going down. My rule of thumb is 450 ppm for veg, 850/900 in bloom.

@Itisi grows in a loft, too. And he's in the UK, too. So is @Eclectic Elle. Lots of awesome Brits here! [emoji121] [emoji6] [emoji106] [emoji108]

Yes there are a few Brits here! I've only done grows in compost before, with limited success, but I'm moving on to hydro so I don't have any helpful advice. I've not grown under blurple at all - my last lights were CFL in a home made reflector - but there are a couple of cob kits on ebay if you're interested. There's a guy in Sweden that sells a kit for five lights for example. Just do a search for cob kit under the Garden section. It's overkill for what you have now but it gives you an idea - I'm starting with ONE cob light in a 120 x 80 x 180 tent.
man!

There is a cob section here that will help you, for when/if you decide to go that route.
