New Grower What seeds to choose?

[Notaclue]

Thanks for the nutrient feeding cycle. I've already gotten better information than any other weed forum I've been on. Brilliant and so quick!

Do autos take that much nutrients!?! As mentioned I've grown 2 photos and the first I only used water and got 2.5Oz and the second used a very small amount and I look like I've got 10Oz (same strain). I fancied myself as "Mr Organic" haha.

The list is great and I can start to buy up those nutrients. What growing medium would you suggest! Soil, coco etc?

I'd be willing to spend up to 150 on a decent LED, I have seen a tent 180cm tall (60x60) with a Mars led as a set for 120.

But guys please remember I am pretty clueless with all this.

Would I get better results with a 400w or an LED?

Slater;

Cheers mate, I've also done many of those things. I'm lucky in the fact I'm sure both my neighbours also grow but it needs doing properly. Do you have any pics of the things you've done? I silenced a 6inch fan in a cardboard box and filled full of expanding foam but being totally honest even with a fan speed controller it was too loud. BUT - out of everything I bought the extraction was the worst for terms of quality.

Without going into my life story; money is kind of limited (I have sold my old tent all included 150 however) as I quit my job 2 years ago, started doing my own business and started a degree meaning I don't have a regular income like before. But saying that the missus is (finally) on-board with it all so got a few quid to spend.... In terms of a stealth grow; an LED will definatley be better?

So.

I go with an LED light. I grow 2 plants (or one just better?) in 80x80x160 and have a propagation station that veg plants when ones in tent hit flower. Could I realistically look at pulling 2/3 Oz each month for myself?

I want to get at least 5/6Oz stored away and cured up properly and make a comparison between my photo plant... As I'm new to all this I want to see the difference for myself!

Don't think I've ever smoked an auto before! Although probably have buying crap cheese off streets haha

 

[Notaclue]

Can I post brand names etc of items I'm looking at the get a second opinion on them?

 

[A-Train]

Yes you can post the names...

I suggest promix hp for soil... it is stable and proven. Wont have to worry about nasty ph swings

 

[Notaclue]

So you would just use the soil? No coco or anything as I've read the growing medium can change.

Right; here's the plan!

VISPRASPECTRE 225w UFO LED light x 2 inside a 80x80x160(or 180)cm grow tent.
Growing two Mephesto plants. 4inch extraction kit, 12ltr grow sacks, nutrients as talked about earlier on here........ Should I have little problems? Cheers

 

[Notaclue]

Promix HP is America and Ive just looked I cannot get it in the UK. Any other suggestions? I have used Black Magic soil in the past which I've found very good.

Alot of European growers I see use plagron light with a nutrient schedule very similar to atrains

 

[Notaclue]

Can anyone confirm using the lights I've mentioned (specifications below) will create a good solid environment for 2 autos in the said size tent please? Im waiting to buy just want to be sure.... Thanks

[Rusty_Shackleford]

Personally I would go with two for more coverage

I know they're a little more expensive but have you looked at any of the sponsors like tasty or cob shop? I'm sure with a discount code it'll bring it to a good price and they're more efficient than the ufos your checking out. I've used both a old style Mars led, and COB leds and the difference was night and day
