Great advice. There are lots of threads on everything you need. I would also suggest reading and making a few informed decisions on what you want. Then ask specific questions there is simply to much to go over with such a general question.Now go read a ton of shit.. I spent 6 years reading this forum before i finally started growing :D

Planning is important so pick one topic at a time and spend the time to understand them.
I suggest looking.... Grow space, media, light, water source, air exchange/flow, nutrients, electrical requirements, environment and environmental equipment.
Also it's important to include your goals, time commitment and well we know your experience
So 5-6 Plants in a 4x4 tent, your gonna want around 600W-700W draw from the wall. So a Spider Farm or a mars hydro 2000 that pulls around 300W each 2 of those in a 4x4 tent will do you well :D same as what im running atm.
Pot size well.. Start in a solo and up pot as you go.. Up to say 5-7 gallons.
Feed Get some organic Alaskan fish fertilizer no burn, And then maybe some Fox Farms big 3.
Get a super soil or a water only soil for the first few months, Ie Fox farms, Dr Earths, ect ect the ones with all the nutrients in it, NOT MIRACLE GROW, and nothing made with extended release fertilizers.
Read the forum for soil recipies if you wanna make your own or just look at what everyone else is running.
Feed them when they ask for it and not any sooner, if you buy a water only soil it wont need food for 2-3 months or more.. If at all..

Thank you for your advice. I thought that may have been too broad of a question for the specific strains category. Perhaps I should have used the basic growing tips sectionThe only thing I'd add is that some strains need more feed/nutrients than others, so it's up to what the plant needs, and not necessarily something you can just plant and forget...no matter what soil you're using. imho.
You bring up some questions that would definitely be important before starting a new grow but Dr. Grinspoon is more novelty strain, I don't think you need to take growing it too seriously. Since it produces so little (relative to veg time), most people that grow it do so just for the experience and fun. I wouldn't worry about doing anything too complicated and recommend investing in your setup as little possible until you branch out to other strains. Like littledabbie said, a 4x4 is a good size starter tent and would certainly be big enough for 5 average grinspoons, I also agree with their recommended wattage for that tent size but with these plants specifically I think you would be fine with as little as 300 watts.Im a complete newbie to growing weed, but I can’t find this strain anywhere so decided I’m going to have a shot at growing myself.
I have 5 feminised seeds bought directly from Barneys Farm in Amsterdam, but I’m still yet to buy any equipment. I’d prefer to use the tent method and use LED lights.
I know I haven’t chosen the easiest strain to begin with, as I’ve heard they take extra TLC, and take a long time from seed to smoke.
How big of a tent will I need to fit all 5 plants? How tall do they grow, which is the optimum wattage for the LED lights. What do they like to be fed and how often? Pot size? Soil? All of that stuff.
Thanks so much in advanceView attachment 994644View attachment 994645
