I'm definitely going to need help at somepoint and I feel I'm in the right place for it.

Orders getting placed on Monday all I will need to get are the airpots and seeds, these may need to wait but in the mean time I can get used to my tent check heat/humidity see how things run.

Thats exactly what i did got my tent lights filters hygrometer and set it all up turned it on and checked every hour lol.took about three days to get the enviroment right,opening intakes to get more air in if it was to hot or turning the fan down if it was to cold.i think i had OCD after a week.but now my baby is growing in what i think is the perfect enviroment.all thanks to the great people here

Every grow we grow too as gardeners and add skills, knowledge and equipment. You have a very good setup to grow 4 lovely girls. 15ltr airpots to start? Big plants! I'm sure you will get good support on her, I did and do.

I use plain tap water which I let sit out in a gorilla bucket. As for harvest dates... if you go with decent seedbanks (sweet, dinafem, dutch passion are a few I'd recommend) and check reviews on here you can make a reasonable guess. I plan to take a any plant at least 11-12 weeks from seed to harvest, though I've harvested earlier and been happy. Looking forward to your grows

I'm quite bad for jumping in was just speaking about that earlier and said the same thing haha I will slow down this time and this time only!!

I think I may end up the same with the OCD part all I have done recently is look at seeds, look through this and equipment then repeating the process. I can see my girlfriend getting jealous soon haha but hey ho al have 4 other girls waiting at home for me.

Maybe a silly question how can I store seeds (short term) if I got a pack and had to wait a week or 2 for them to get planted?

Cheers, I have seen a bit but it's mostly focusing on storing for months at a time. I don't think I will be collecting seeds long term just buy and use when needed.

Hello everyone,

I have finally came to a conclusion on the kit I will be buying and I thought I would do this prior to starting my grow/grow journal for any advice on my choices.

So next week I will be ordering.

• Homebox GrowLab 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0m Grow Tent
• a Sunmaster Hobby 600w Digital Light Kit
• Pair of Easy Rollers
• Systemair 150mm RVK E2 A1
• 10m of 150mm Aluminium Ducting
• 3 x 150mm Jubilee Clips
• Rhino Hobby 150mm Carbon Filter
• Heavy Duty Plug & Grow Timer/Contactor
• 2 x Bag of Plagron Light Mix 50L
• Sensi bloom a/b carboload and overdrive (tangs easy auto schedule)

This is what the kit contains I am adding a hygrometer and another 4" fan for air coming in and will purchase 4 15l airpots.

Now I am struggling with what seeds to order so much choice haha. have taken a massive interest in mephisto and fast buds before that I thought I was set on Dutch passion.

Can anyone recommend a strain that has a shorter time from seed to harvest and of good quality. If I plant a single seed with a shorter life I won't go as long without a smoke, then the others I will try make up my mind.

I have a goal of maybe 3-4oz each plant, I don't know if I'm setting the bar to high for my first time but I'm sure with all the help I get from here it shouldn't be a problem.

I can finally soon say goodbye to shit £20 bags of weed and the idiots you have to deal with haha.

Barney's farm blue cheese check out my grow so u can see them for ureself highly recommend this strain

A cool dark place works fine
