new grower... Shooting for the stars

Hello there RIU!!! Long time smoker, first time grower.

I decided to get on this site and get some good information. I was refered by a buddy of mine.

anyways, I dont know where to really ask some of the questions that I do have, so I will post here in hopes of getting help.


My gf bought me some seeds as a "project". She got me some LR2's and the LR Diesels. Now I really really want to get these ladies growing. I have a cool schematic for a bubbleponix setup, but I was wondering if I should just stick with some good ol' organic dirt and easy nutes. And lighting is my second issue. I want to stick with some cfls in hopes of keeping the electricity down. But, What wattage/lumens and what should I do with the lighting cycle?

Any info would be appreciated!!!

Hey Colicab welcome to RIU, and yes go with the FFOF soil your buds will taste better grown in soil.

Alright cool. Thanks for the input guys. Now I just gotta find the room for it all to grow.

This FFOS, I can pick it up just about anywhere? i.e. Nursery at Home Depot, Walmart etc....

And since these LR's are pretty much dwarfs, do I have to maintain a set distance with my lighting to stop excessive stretching?

I think I am gonna start my set up this weekend!!!

Go to www.foxfarmfertilizer.com and they will show you the places around you that carry their products. Good luck
