Hi welcome, dirt and water will grow most seeds, if you want better than dirt weed you'll need a good medium ( I use ProMix or similar) a good consistent nutrient regime ( I use General Hydroponics Flora trio ) a good light to veg under & flower under ( I use T5 fluorescent for veg and 1000-w hps to flower under ) A contained space you can black out 100% light for flowering in. Then there are tools you'll need to accumulate. ph tester/ ppm tester/ humidifiers/ dehumidifier/ osculating fans , intake and exhaust fans and a loop to get you started. Then toys you can add to help. lux meter/ mini microscope camera, laser thermostat gun +++++++ ect.
Thanks for the advice and a friendly greeting :)
Thank you for the advice :)
Thats pretty big for a beginner, I use 3x3
Grow tents are a great way to go, I run a 5x5 as well, the advice I would give is make sure you will have room to access the tent from at least two sides or once its full it will be very hard to access all the plants from the front door alone, there are a lot of good tents out there I went with Gorilla Brand tents because they have the highest ceiling I have found and I wanted the extra head room to grow some taller strains, if extra headroom isn't a concern you might want to look at AC infinity tents I haven't seen them personally but the specs look good and I do know from personal experience their fans are top notch.
It will be hard to work for me in the beginning? Or the reason is that I won't know how things will go?
You’ll want bigger later if you go smaller. 5x5 gives you a little room to move around in the tent. It’s a good choice.
Thanks again for the advice. I'm amazed to such active community. Usually in nowadays forums dont have active members.
Wow those are nice but expensive fans. I'm cheap and I can't afford expensive equipment like that. My exhaust fans cost me just a couple of dollars + some hot glue.
I only have hands on experience with the ac infinity fans but I have used terra bloom filters and I thought they were quite good my last one went well over a year, you probably wouldn't go wrong with either one, but ac infinity has had a pretty good reputation for quite awhile, mine is over 3 years old and running as good as the day I got it.
So, you did the fan by your hands? I have always admired people who know how to build something themselves. And how are the results? Is it also effective?
They run silent and smooth, I just use those out of my seedling box. I use bathroom fans boxed up, one for intake one for exhaust running 24/7 in my small 3'x4' veg rooms
One thing to consider is getting the bigger size tent but only start with a few plants. That way it will give you some room to maneuver as tent growing can be rough on your back if not all the doors are accessible. Then once you have mastered the environment with a few plants add more as you feel comfortable. If you have the space to spare why not? Happy growing! Cheers
