Caribbean newbie here. Hoping to pick brains for pinching nugs. Started with two seeds from some buds on June 20. On the second node as of now. Waiting for a couple of hydro grow boxes and some autoflowering seeds to arrive in the next week or so. Will continue the TLC with my first two seeds just to run through the manual flowering process. Will post up some pics when the (hopefully) ladies are decent. Nice to be in this community of aficionados learning and sharing. Buen día a todos!!June 25, 2016-2.JPG June 25, 2016-3.JPG

Keep it Simple Stupid, yes that is me.....wanting to do my first grow, in soil, thinking Dr. Earths, 4x4 area in a 6x6 closet, already has air-conditioning in the closet, a couple fans, 4 gallon smart pots, auto-flower, and LED lights, to keep the heat down. Smell is no concern, we own the home, closet is my master bedroom closet. Walls painted a semi-gloss white already. Temp gauge on the wall, but don't think heat will ever be a problem...Any suggestions????????????? Thanks in advance!!!!!:cool:
Wondering how to do C02 without doing elaborate ventilation system, really want to keep things as simple as possible on everything...

Personally, I wouldn't worry about co2. Make sure you have fans blowing on the plants. I'm using both bedroom closets myself and the same equipment. I'm doing great! I found little 4" fans at walmart. They are made completely metal, heavy, and $4. I have 4 that I can arrange for greater coverage. Get a ph test kit, you can use a pool kit and they are inexpensive. Check your water ph, typically 7. Bring it down to mid or lower 6. Read about nutrients and decide for yourself which to use. I chose fox arms and love it. I'm going to harvest my first grow soon, so ask me any questions, chances are I've asked others already!!

You're not growing a forest so don't worry about CO2. Flat white is a better reflector of light than gloss white.

The first is one of the Strawberry Kush (I highly recommend it, very easy for a first timer, and its small but prolific. I have 8 colas sprouting on one). Second is another Strawberry Kush the buds are starting to grow. The third is my veg closet. I have a couple of clones from the Strawberry, and Papaya. It looks crazy, but its working!

Oh, well thank you.....This was the name of my Boxer girl, my soul dog, I called her Stevie Bevie.... kids broke onto our property to steal from our backyard shed and then left our fence gate open. She got off our property and was hit by a car and killed..... I have been heartbroken for many years, but love her name, after Stevie NIcks.... I suppose I should have her pic as my avatar, but well, not sure I want to look at it whenever I am on here..

I hate to hear these stories. Just lost my little guy to diabetes. We love them so much, its like losing a human member of our families.

Okay, What seeds are you looking to grow the first time?

Hi Metalback, I have not decided yet. I want a good yielding, and easy to grow plant/s with good medicinal properties. I am going to grow auto-flowers in soil, that much I do know! Thinking a white widow strain perhaps?

Just wanted to say HIGH to all the folks here. I've got a lot of good information from some of the users here and want to give Rollitup some props for putting this site together.
