HI there guys n gals, newbie grower here from uk.( south coast ) Just spent last two months researching and buying all I need for my loft groom. ( yes loft ) not ideal but only option. Hours n hours of research and conflicting online advice, I kind of went with the majority of what I read bearing in mind I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do anyway. Which was small tent, small grow, 2-3 plants autos only, ( limited on height). Anyway a few quid later and more learning im finally up and running . 2 weeks and 3 days into my fist grow, ( can I sleep yet ).
Tent 4ft by 2ft, decent enough. I went with viparspectra p2000 led not quite £300 and pulls 200+ 3% actual watt from the wall. I didnt think this was too bad for a small tent. We shall see...... my other option was a mars hydro same kind of stats and price ect. Extraction is an rvk 4 inch inline and rhino pro carbon filter, running through a g.a.s. speed controller. 1x 3 ft tube heater and large rootit heat Matt . Plus two monkey fans. Seems like over kill for small tent but I wanted to have more and dial it all down , plus nice to have extra if needed.
I decided to grow in Coco, straight into 5g root pouch( 4.8gallons uk ) coco lite 70/30 perlite +1% charge
I went with the canna nutes starter set for my first grow , seemed an easier option and everything I needed was there, almost. So 2 weeks and 3 days since my girls showed there faces, WOW all that research and I really put them through the ringer with all the newbie classic mistakes, and 6 days dialling in my environment,( should of done some dry runs in an empty tent) my space was more limited than first thought so I just went with 2 plants, I now just have one plant lol. She’s doing ok. Ph is good ec/ ppm is good , I don’t change anything until she tells me to, but first grow your almost blind, trial and error and still just about getting my head round it all.
so that’s my intro in a massive nutshell, looking forward to a natter with all you guys n gals and getting some quality advice.
love to all
