New to the site, and to gardening :) I'm actually here out of frustration and necessity really, as the only product I can get is low grade, of unknown variety and expensive. And that's when I can find someone who has anything, which hasn't been for months! So I've decided the only thing I can really do to ensure a decent quality reliable supply is grow a little myself.

To begin with I'm looking to get an Indica dominant hybrid (for relief of body pain and reduce anxiety) and ideally as feminized seed as I'm not trying to breed. I've never grown before, so anyone have suggestions on just what I should buy to fit my grow space - a cabinet - which is pretty limited at 2' by 3' with a max of 30 inches of clearance from the top of the hydroponics to the glass of the main light when at its highest. For light I went with a 400w HPS and two 2' T5 to supplement, and I hope to also have a CO2 supply by the time I start up.

In addition to seed variety suggestions, I'd love to get an idea on just how many seeds to plant at once. I have a copy of Ed Rosenthal's grower's handbook, which has been quite enlightening, but he only really touches on small space growing, and I have no idea how large things will get. Another seed choice factor is that I'd also like to juice the foliage after harvest, I've read that it has good (non-psychoactive) medicinal benefits, has anyone ever tried this?

Welcome to the Farm Kwolf!
I am new to growing myself, I am on my first grow, I had a 3x4x4 grow space and I just used a bunch of cfl's. You know those extension plug socket things that you can make one light into 2 or 4 bulbs, I hung a few of those around. Oh and make sure you have proper ventilation. I messed up a bunch of my plants due to heat stress, lights were too low and the room wasnt getting any air flow. Wish I had more advice, but I am still learning, thats just what I learned along the way.
Lots of people with Knowledge in here, I just got some and saved my plant recently too.
Have fun, its a fun place!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome paulycali and waayne :)

This does seem like a knowledgeable and friendly community. I've begun reading (and gawping at the grow diary pictures!) and there is so much I still have to learn! Hope to absorb as much as I can before I start to tend my own garden.

Heat is something I'm concerned about, especially as I want to use CO2. Seems to me that CO2 would just get blown out of the grow space if I have fans on, but without then plants will get hot. So, looking at glass enclosed/air-cooled lamps as a possible solution. My space is really limited and gets quite warm in the summer. Essentially I live in a shoe box, so my garden needs to be the size of a toe, and easy to maintain. Going to be investing in some extra air conditioning too, I think.

Anyway, onward!
