i use greenshorticulture for equipment, attitude/greenhouse for seeds, b&q for basic shit like pots, soil and perlite(although i will be going for plagron soil next). but if u hit ebay for lights and shit u may get a better deal. carbon filters/extractor fan from £100 up. ur size of room wont need an expensive filter.

what do you mean by what sort of power do your lights do? as for seeds, i like 'the church' coz its an easy grow and is pest and disease resistant but so are a few others, search the journals for more info although the guys here can give u there advice on this.

Hmm a farewell to marx! some brilliant stuff... I wouldnt say marx is politics really. But marx and engels writings were the basis for communism and socialism... But anyway, quite off topic.

The snow has finally stopped too happy!!!

Back to the nutes, don u think id be ok to use hammerhead along with the bio, or would i need some else aswell?

haha yeah harry brown was kanny but i thought outlaw a bit ott still a good watch tho, the hammer head is good stuff but its for the middle section of the 9 weeks whihc would be covered by the biobizz which runs grow and bloom at the same time till finish( make sure you use both and not switch to bloom and leave out the grow, this was my first rookie mistake many moons back)

you'd be better off buying advanced nutes overdrive if your only going to buy 1 but if youve got cash in the hip get the hammerhead and overdrive, next grow the Dr Hornby's big bud powder is a good all rounder

soil for a beginner is probably the easiest most forgiving medium, hydro goes wrong really fast when it goes wrong.

well ur first purchase is gotta be a light, this is all opinion and others will differ but here goes. i'd aim for 4 plants and id do them full size(no lst although i'd maybe consider toppin), minimum light 400 hps and if u can afford to throw in a cpl of cfl at the sides,either paint ur walls white with emulsion or cover with mylar, revolve ur plants every day because ur space is 6' wide and ur light reflector probably wont spread that far. is smell gonna be an issue? if so u need a carbon filter to really stop it, anything else is just a stopgap and only partly masks the smell especially in late flower. coupl of cheap clip fans positioned at each end facing the middle and whaterver nutes,pots ph meter, water can, thermometer and soil u want, loadsa choices, i use biogrow and biobloom for my soil grows. try e bay for lots deals and remeber u dont really need a carbon filter for the vegging cycle.thers a few other things ur gaunna want but most can wait.

I've used Basement lighting for lights, soil, nutes and Mylar - they're a good bunch of guys down there, they know what they're talkin about and were very discrete

Its my first port of call for most things, they're a spot on bunch of blokes

yeah i will agree that crank two was a bridge too far but the first one cracked me up. i love dumb yank comedys and throwing a brit in the lead role gave it a kinda twist.

well a 600w light is going to be 50% more expensive to run than a 400w. not sure how else i can answer it. find out your energy rate, do the maths with 18/6 hours on/off for maximum cost, then you can work out how much it'll cost for a 400w etc.
