Hey guys. First time medical grower here trying to make some decisions as I wait on my tent and fan to be delivered.
I picked up the Jorge Cervantes growers bible and have been hitting the books slowly putting together my own grown kit but still have some questions I'm hoping you can help with.
I am going to be growing in a Mars Hydro 48x48x80 tent.
For my lighting I purchased a Yield Lab 600W HPS+MH Air Cool Hood Reflector Grow Light Kit
For ventilation Im waiting on delivery of
Mars Hydro 6 Inch Inline Duct Fan and Carbon Filter Combo with Thermostat Controller
I'm trying to decide on a good medium as well as the proper seeds. I was recommended https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/ and from what I can tell the auto flowering seeds seem to be a good bet for new growers am I correct in this assumption? I read auto flowering seeds usually produce smaller plants. I usually prefer indica strains too which I read are typically smaller as well. Do you guys have better seed website recommendations?
What sort of grow medium would you recommend for a soil type grow? Seeing as I've spent a good amount of money on a quality tent and lighting I would like to get some quality medium and the recommended extra nutrients for a successful first time grow.
What size container is recommended? I see people go through stages of things like solo cups in the seedling stage and moving to a bigger container after.
Are the fabric multi gallon bags a good place to grow or is the traditional plastic pots better?
Is checking the water pH level and changing it really super important for water from the hose? I live in suburban Illinois near Chicago with pretty good tap water if that matters?
What else would make this grow easier for a complete noob? Anything good and easy to measure water I'm feeding etc? I was thinking of just using the water hose from the back of my house straight down to the basement through the window well for easy access to water, but I'm open to getting some sort of spray container that I've seen on some of these forum posts.
Should I get some additional cooling solution to help with the HPS light heat? I guess I was thinking of higher wattage light producing bigger yields. Didn't think about the size of the tent and heat being an issue. Then tent is going to be setup in the basement of a house with central AC and concrete floor basement, so I hope that helps a bit.
Thanks in advanced guys! I'm hoping to start this operation and will be posting on the grow diaries section by the middle or end of June. Hoping to have a late summer/ fall harvest.
