Hi from Washington

[SylviaLynn]

I'm 65, been using pot since I was a teenager. I've never grown though. Hey, now it's legal. Amazing. So, I'm just about to start my first grow. I have a 2x2x4 tent in my closet. There's a cheap but hopefully decent 1000w Chinese LED full spectrum for lighting. I have Green Crack Auto from Crop King that I haven't planted just yet. The plan is to get the ventilation system in place. My 21 yo daughter and I share the room and added humidity and smell could be a problem. I have FF Light Warrior and FFOF for soil. I would really prefer this to be as easy and inexpensive as possible. How much fiddling with nutes will I have to do with this soil or mix? Any suggestions for ventilation? Humidity and mold are definite issues in the PNW.

I don't need a huge harvest, but I'd like enough to be able to experiment with some things like added herbs to jazz up terpenes. I have lots of knowledge of various things I can pull together like soap, herbology, science in general.

Watering SOIL

New Simplified Way to Water Marijuana Plants

The other day I had an idea and after testing, it works great. To know if you need to water, get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot. Insert the meter probe into the hole and test for moisture. If its dry, then water SLOWLY...
