Hi everyone,
Thought I'd drop a line and say Hello. I'm in the planning process of doing my first ever grow this fall... wife finally gave me the okay after a trip to Denver and her finding out she really like edibles! I'm not originally from the area I live now -- so, have very limited connections --- figure the best way to get quality bud is to grow my own. I not a daily smoker - will normally vape 2 or 3 times a week, I figure 2 or 3 ounces of bud for vaping and maybe 2 ounces for edibles(butter & tinctures) would do us for the year. I'll do a big post here - and, will do some questions in the appropriate subsection.
Growing background: Have been growing psychodelic mushrooms off and on for the last year, and have pretty extensive back ground of vegetable gardening(including starting from seed).
Here is my plans so far:
Grow Space: GrowTent in very large closet(worst thing is it's outer wall is right above the front door of the house, so low odor will be a must!)
I have a 3' w x 1.5' d x 5' tall - Lighthouse Hydro Growtent --- I had this from starting tomatoes and peppers for my garden. I plan on making a few updates to it --- need to change out the 3 connector corners on the tent - they are plastic and have cracked from use over the years. Planning on swapping our for some metal ones.
Odor Control: I am planning on going 6" inline with carbon filter in the tent. Is there any certain brands of fans or carbon cans you recommend? I also had a thought about running flex hose from the tent the length of the inside of the closet - approximately 15' with the flex hose connected to a large rubber tote with a OnaBlock inside with 1.5" holes drilled all over the 4 sides for it to exhaust out the tote as additional Odor Control. Would that be a bad idea exhausting back into the closet the tent is located in? I might be able to go up through the ceiling, running a flex pipe to a vent on the end of the house, but don't want to cut the drywall until I'm sure I can grow well enough to be worth while.
Lighting: I am planning on doing a DIY Cob LED. I'm thinking going with CXB3590 in 3500k. For my tent size - would you go 2 or 3? I also have a Hydrofarm 125a/w CFL with hood in 6500k if I should start with 6500k first.
Seed Selection: With low odor being my priority, here are the seeds I plan on getting
1) Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze and Fantasmo Express.
2) Northern Lights -- still debating on seed bank - Vision looks interesting
3) Nirvana Blue Mystic
Any other recommendations?
Nutes: Undecided at this time - will need to keep researching
Growing Media: Debating between Soil(Fox Farm is carried locally) or trying my hand at CoCo Coir. Recommendation for first grow?
