I just started my first grow.
My set up is an opulent tent, & a 45 watt led. All for now.
Wondering… i know 45 watts isn’t enough how much watts will I need and I plan to add the basics like fans and carbon filter but is there anything I need to buy first few weeks in.
My lemon green crack plant is only 1 week and a few days old.
Is my set up bad?
And I am growing it semi organic.
I know it’s pretty optimistic but I would like to grow sum AAA AT LEAST.

Great help for when I transfer it into a bigger pot, I’m sure I’ll need to get into coco and these vids will help a lot. But do I have to use coco, and if not, and I use what I already have (promix premium potting soil). Do you know how much that would affect the plant/seedling. I watched the vids but I can’t find a short answer.

not coco for first time..
you said you have promix soil well that’ll be what you use..
as long as you post semi daily here on your thread, the growers here will be able to help you..
no question or thought is dumb/stupid.. ask about anything your wondering about..
did you buy any kind of nutrients yet? yes i know the promix is amended already.. but that’ll get used up before the plant is finished growing..
so your probably gonna be growing in a soil or soilless mix.. do you feel better about feeding with dry or wet nutrients?..
you’ll need a regular fan for air movement maybe even 2..
humidifier and or dehumidifier..
etc..
anyhoo welcome to the farm Brother..

Hello again Chris. As they say there is more than one way to skin a cat.
As you can see I grow outdoor organic. But dabble with indoor off season.
This is how I did my organic out door this year.
https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/country-boys-ez-organic-grow.152763/

You say that you want to grow indoor organic in Peat moss based potting mix. There is no problem
growing in the mix you refer to. Do you have something in mind for organic feeding?
This may be just what your looking for.
You should spend a little time snooping around this web page.

Thanks, nick.
I’ve already begun a composting possess using things like fruit peels, and egg shells. mixing it into the same soil. I like the appeal of making my own compost but that may be because synthetic nutrients seem complicated for my first time.
To answer your question.
I’d like to try both. But I feel I’d rather feed it dry.
I got a little over my head. But I’m not afraid to learn of it means great life for my plant. Thank you for your amazing answer.

Thank you. I’ll make sure to watch these soon. This helps a lot because I’ve been stressing myself with information gathering. trying to make sure I give my little seedling a great start. This forum was a gift from above. Every one is so welcoming and helpful. And no stress about finding the right answers for me.
