*Starting To Grow Help Needed*

Oh Yeah.. lol I forgot.

Ill post some pics of my setup when it comes to it. Its to cold right now. Even indoors its cold. Its about 25 degrees where im from right now. And when spring comes ill start having pics up. But right now i can take all the info i need.

Thanks To Everyone Who Reply's

Help me please

I know all of you know more about this then me.

Lighting looks ok, venting ok. What about odor control, have you thought of that? Carbon filters will do you good.
For the wattage you are going to be using with those CFL's, I recommend you use a 150W HPS at least to get some more intense light in there, ideally 250-400W ould be great....
What medium are you using? Soil or hydro? For a beginner, I really recommend the Hempy Bucket Merthod. Just google it and watch the video..
Fertalizers are imprtant too, I recommend Fox Farms due to the simple schedule to follow, however I know others prefer other types.
Rersearch how to dry and cure your product as well. Read about temp, humidity, reflective coating..... You need to learn how to properly germ your seeds, the water ph, type of water.... a tons of info is needed!
I really recommend a book by Jorge Cervantes, medical Marijuana Horticulture, again, just google it.

Wow thats alot! Haha well Im using Soil from Lowes it says on the bag "feeds plants up too 3 months" and i had a grow using it.

On the PH and all this other things like you said im not sure about that. I dont know what it all is and how to control it. But thanks ill google it!

And idk if i can get a HPS light! I might be able to but not for sure.

There is Temp, Ph level, reflective material, odor, and more can u break it down for me?

I am really not being mean here, just honest. If you don't know about those things, you are not ready to grow. ead the book I suggested, along with the FAQ at the top left of the screen. Everything you need is there. I can't tell you what you need to know in a post, it takes a ton of research my friend. I wish you good luck and keep me posted on your progress. Cheers.

Oh and research how to make your own soil, that soil you got is full of fertalizer, and screw things up, especially for a new grower. Make your own soil, there are recipes out there that are easy and cheap to do!

Thanks! I apprecaite Your time for helping a noob like me
Just keep in touch with me and im sure ill do a great job! im looking at what u said right now!
Thanks +rep

Okay so i found out this pH is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a solution. "Solutions with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are said to be basic or alkaline." So my ph level should be less then 7 if its greater it can harm my plant?
Water is said to be neutral so what now? lol

Now.. Fertilizers! There are two main ones! Fertilizers for Flowering & for the Vegetation state! There is also feeding your plant and fertilizing it! Depending on some fertilizers it can make the ph level change in your soil so u need to watch that! In the vegetive state i heard 20-20-20 is good? can u elaborate on that please And 12-34-16 for flowering. So i should water my plant with the nutrients in it on a regular basis to produce nice big bugs! And also spray the leaves every one in a while! Now i just need to know what fertilizers to get if u could help me with that!

Now.. Humidity Can differ with different types of boxes and how many fans you have! An ideal temperature for the plants are anywhere from 75 degrees to 90? Adding fans and having nice circulation will help humidity! It should be kept at 85%? to 90% idk what that means but im sure ill have to get a device that measures humidity!

Now.. germing i think is (this is how i would do it) get two snap on paper plates! Get paper towl and fold it in a square while wet then place seeds and fold it over again it its like wrapped in a blanket. Then place that on the plate and snap the other one on! Then.. place them in a dark warm place for 3 days untill they have white tails?

That Good???

Is that right? The post i made above this one

PH- keep in the 6-6.8 range
temp 65-85
humidity - veggin 60-65%, flowering 40-55%
Ferts - get fox farms flollow their schedule, 1/4 strength at the beginning, the work your way up untless your plants show signs of problems
Germing, paper towel, moist, put seeds in, fold over, keep moist, they should sprout in a day-3days, sometimes longer....Once sprouted, place white tip down in some rockwool or soil... 1/4 inch below the surface.

Thank you so much!
I appreciate it!
Keep helping noobs like me

Ya oughtta try not to touch the little taproot that'll come out of your seed when it germinates. Very susceptible to germs/bacteria, etc. at this stage.

Not to much longer im going to attempt my first grow! I cant wait
Any other suggestions on what i should do?

Haha I had my first grow and omg i got a pic of it but cant send them to the internet. UGH!!! And my mom found it. It was so thick and bushy.
