Small Personal Closet Grow Questions

Alright so in preparation for august (few buddies are moving in), we plan on doing a few grows. I decided to try it out early to get a basic understanding so I won't be totally clueless.
I've ordered 1 feminized snoryder seed (autoflowering) and I was wondering if anybody could help me out with some little details/tell me if my setups decent or what I should do/don't.
I've included a few pictures of the setup so far.

The pot is a little small but I plan on purchasing a 10'inch pot.

3 x 13w 6500K CFL's
I also have a yellowish coloured t3 13w 4100k bulb I could use (flowering possibly?)

Dimensions of the closet are 40'inches wide, 18'inches deep, and about 4 1/2 feet tall (plant should only be about 12-16 inches tall

I also have a 2 24'inch t5 14w light holders (1 in closet atm), but I'm currently looking to find a bulb that will fit. (you can see in the pictures, 1. Where it would hang if I find a light, 2. It taken down with CFL's)

Now I still have to get some soil, currently I have MG- Enriched Potting Mix, but have read that's not good to use. (looking for any good suggestions? kind of on a budget, FOXFARM IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME, was suggested Sea Soil any opinions?)

I will be installing a small fan in the next week or so

Also any tips on nutes, I'm not 100% with nutes but I have read various different ways and schedules for em so all opinions are welcome!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, I'm kind of a noob and this is my first time.



Thanks!

Nice setup so far. Everything looks good, Definitely get a fan, you might also want to get some type of intake to move fresh air in and out of the room. As far as soil goes, dont use MG unless you absolutely need to. Good soil goes a long way and saves you a great amount of trouble. It also gives you fine flowers i might add. If youre going to be using synthetic ferts i'd definitely make my own soil out of some pro-mix ,peat moss and ewc. Just amend the plants when needed. I would also suggest fox farms ferts. Dont use any chemicals whatsoever anymore, Im 100% organic these days. But fox farm is definitely the best thing ive used synthetic wise and as far as the schedule goes just start out half strength accordingly to what the schedule says and work your way up!

Hope this helped.

STAY HIGH!

the white walls reflect better then foil and you will need atleast 100 watts to flower the plant. as for soil usually the more you spend the better it is, just check out local shops and see what is available in your area.

Fox Farm soil and nutes woorked for me. GoodLuck!

Thanks guys, Rasta: I should be installing a small fan or two in the next couple days or so, I'm going to grab a bag of this Sea Soil hope it works, as far as nutes, foxfarms tri-pack looks a little out of my price range, i've been told all purpose works alright after about 2 weeks, until about week 4, then switch it up to a 20-10-10/30-15-15 for veg, and 10-20-20/15-30-30 for flowering. Plant should be ready to harvest in 8-9 weeks so nutes are like top priority for me to figure out right now.
I'll keep posting pics as I go, any other tips would be greatly appreciated

Be careful as "sea soil" is usually very acidic. I would definitely put some dolomite in at 1TBS per gallon. As for nutes, dude, Im telling you, drop the dough on some decent ferts. Definitely not All Purpose, You want something along the lines of 6-4-3 if using synthetics. NO high numbers, remember anything that concentrated cannot be good for your plants. One time i used Beastie Blooms by fox farm, just the slightest bit and it burned the shit out of my plants.

Stay high!

Ehhh forgot about this thread. Well it's the beginning of week 2, https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/518336-one-plant-closet-grow.html#post7251077 , I've been doing regular updates. I'm this close to going and getting this SeaSoil as I've been reading good things!
