the grow begins on page 5![Weed Leaf :leaf: :leaf:](/styles/smilies/weed.gif)
hello everyone. over a year ago i decided i want to grow, and one way or another something always got in the way. well, over that time i have slowly been acquiring both equipment and knowledge. i believe now is the perfect time to attempt my first grow.
got a 3 pack of blue dream in the mail today:

not sure if i should pop 2 or all 3. any suggestions?
i'll be running the lucas formula from start to finish and 800 watts of light during flowering.

i've got 2 hps bulbs, and 1 mh bulb. i've heard good things about mixed spectrum. should i run 1 hps 1 mh from the start? put in the mh sometime during flowering? if you guys swear by the mixed spectrum i'll give er' a go, otherwise i'm just going to KISS and stick with 2 hps.
here's the tent. this thing is amazing..very high quality. extremely glad i splurged for the gorilla tent.

dust shroom hooked onto 240cfm booster fan for intake. makes the tent look badass.

the last thing left to do is hookup z-wave technology to my lights and a/c. since the a/c unit isn't inside my tent the thermostat reads my room's temperature rather than the tent's. therefore it shuts off before it cools my tent to the right temperature. with z-wave i can place a thermostat in the tent and hook it up to a z-wave module then program my a/c to turn on/off at temperatures of my choice.
hooking it up to my lights allows me to control the light cycle without a physical timer.
all thoughts, comments, suggestions, etc. are more than welcome. i've learned a lot over this past year, but one thing i've learned is there is always more to learn; so teach me anything you know.
happy growing everyone
will keep this updated fo sho'
