Hello Peeps
As I said earlier in the noob thread, I've been lurking here for several weeks now and finally decided to register and join in the fun. I've been growing outdoors for three years now; suffered some failures, enjoyed some success, but due to a recent move (goodbye boonies, hello civilization!) I've decided to take on indoor cultivation. I'm still in the planning phase as I'm buying bits and pieces of equipment as I can afford them, so in the meantime I'm hoping to use this site to soak up some knowledge and perhaps make a few friends.
welcome to riu
wut up kronika...welcome...we are pretty much in the same boat....
i have done 3 outdoor seasons ...and i am working on the 4th
i started my indoor garden like 7 months ago ...pulled 2 indoor crops so far....using ebb and flow buckets....hydro is fun...
but i just flipped to 12/12 on my first indoor soil grow....
also a boondockian....
do you have your growroom planed?
Good morning and thank you both for the welcome.
I’m aiming for a small, simple and cost effective setup with the most expensive purchases being the tent (I have a 60” x 48” x 24”) and a couple of broad spec LED lights; the LEDs are more expensive upfront but will save money on energy costs, knock out the need for swapping bulbs at different plant stages and cut down on heat. For a growing medium I’m going with a coir/soil mix with a little perlite thrown in. Nutrient wise I’m keeping it simple with Pure Blend Pro Veg/Bloom and worm castings. Rainwater for the drink and a small oscillating fan for the breeze. CO2 cultivator bag.
My biggest issue is ventilation and odor control since I live in a condo and an in-line with ducting isn’t an option. I’ve heard that ionizers will help with the odor, which would solve one of the problems, but I’m getting mixed opinions on that from other growers.
My second biggest issue is what to grow! Checking out the seed banks, I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Any of the above setup, excluding the tent and lights, are subject to change as I learn more. Any advice would be welcome.

Thank you all for making me feel so welcome. I'm really digging it here so far.

Pickin seeds can be hard...
Indeed. I'm embarrassed to own up to the amount of time I've spent researching and drooling over seeds. Suffice it to say, it's been A LOT.
