Hey RIU, I have been falling in love with the concepts of Pc grow case lately, and will be attempting to build my own this weekend.I just have a few questions as I was looking around some local stores for supplies, btw, I live in Canada.At Rona, I saw these CFL's that displays 100W on the package, but beside it, it says "only uses 23w". Can somebody explain to me exactly what this means? Is it actually 100W, or 23W?
Lighting: Should I use 3 42W CFL's? or 4 26W CFL's? Or, the 100W-150W U-Tube CFL's. (I will be buying both 2700k and 6500k)
Seed: A lot of people are using Auto NorthernLights, and the Auto Blue Mystic. Would these be a good start for me?Seedbank: Which site would you guys recommend me buying from? I'm in Canada, Quality > Time of shipment http://www.marijuana-seeds-canada.com/ vs http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/
Reflectors: Should I actually buy a roll of the Mylar? Or would buying the Car Windshield Reflectors work just as fine?
Soil: Seems like Fox Farm Ocean Forest (FFOF) isn't an option for me in Canada. Any other suggestions?
Fans: I only have 2 120mm fan sockets, one on the back, one on the front. Is that enough? Or is there a method to mount an extra one? If there is, which is better, 2 exhaust-1 intake, or 1 exhaust, 2 intakes?
Nutrients: 1) Biobizz products (root juice, alg-a-mic, bloom, grow, fishmix) seem to be working very well for "idontlikesociety", how much can a quart of each last me? (plant wise)
or 2) FloraNova series and Monsterbloom
3) Dyna-gro
If anyone can point me in the right direction for a newbie, i'll great appreciate it.
SCROG Vs LST. Maximizing my yield will be a bonus. The main objective of this grow is to learn the whole process of growing.
I am planning on making a Carbon Filter myself, not sure if the 120mm Pc Fan with 2000 rpm will be enough though.
