Whats up to everyone, Im a begginer at growing weed and I got chronic seeds and afghan seeds( are these actually good seeds to grow?) and I just need to know a good soil I could get from Home Depot Lowes , Walmart on the West Coast. Plus I was going to use flourescent lights but I see people posting CFl, I was wondering what those are. I am trying to get started in an apartment in the storage. Is there something cheap but good I could use to keep the smell I could get from one of those store I mentioned.

Thanks

To save you money, time, and disappointment (from buying that cheap shit found at the stores you listed) I'm going to speak from experience and tell you to order a bag of FoxFarms soil online, unless you have a hydroponics store near you, then you're in luck. All of those cheap soils are dirty. Filled with gnats and mites. Please do not scrimp around in the soil. Spend $15-$30 get yourself a good bag of gold.

Remember, cheap and good dont go well together.

general hydroponics all mix is great

Thanks I found a hydroponics store near me and they have Fox Farm for 16 bucks. But I also have another question and I do understand that HPS lights are better but Im growing in an storage room on the balcony of my apartment , but if I wanna grow about 10 plants whats the best cfl lights to use and the wattage of them. Also I where can you find a timer for the lights.

ohh ohh i know part of this one! Timer = Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc etc etc.

hahahahahahahaha thats funnier than hell yeah timers are really cheap and the best investment

Ive used Miracle grow before with good results and bad results,........ but I have never gone bad with "Scotts" first use "Scotts seedling soil", then mix your own with "Scotts Potting Soil" and "Scott's Perlite" use FoxFarm "growBig" then on flowering BigBloom".

Ok thats cool. Now I just need to know if I grow 10 plants in a room, how many 200 watt cfl should I use. Theyre Chronic and Afghan plants. Would this be enough

You should probably use more light but if u do use 200 watt. just make sure that u line the walls with really good reflective material and dont use mirrors.......they eat the heat. i found that a single 400 watt is good for about a 3foot by 3foot section of growing space. and remember metal halide is best for vegetative and high pressure sodium is good for flowering
