Hi, just thought I would pop in and say hello to everyone in here. I am planning to grow in a months time, with a couple of cfl bulbs, garage clip on sockets, in my bathroom closet. I am in south wales, and would appreciate anyone whom could advice where to get some of the stuff I need cheaply local if possible. At the moment I had been checking out amazon. And the bulbs I am not sure, whether I need to build some sort of reflector, or a shade? Anyways atm, I am building up my budget, and gotten my compost, multi purpose. Seeds I got from a health store shop, my plan is to grow these first, once I know what I am doing, then I shall ask for advice what is best to get and from whom.
I am looking for a mellow strain, that would access my creativity and productivity.
I don't want to get too high or lethargic.

Cheers


This is my original post in Newbie central.



i dont know where to begin...

@ purpleogre, Start by lobbing them seeds in the bin, no point in practising just jump straight in with your boots on if you fuck it up dim panic you'll still end up with something that you can smoke.
Where are you (not your location but a town near to you) then we can tell you your nearest grow shop

Aye 3eyes is reet, Fuck those pips off they'll be nee good. Get some cheapo's to start with get the basics down. As for bulbs the outlay for a basic 4 or 600 HPS ain't too bad. Depends on how tight the budget.

owt less you'll wish you'd forked out in 6 month's

i think i found a way to kill those springtails :-D that plant i had off my mate had green fly in it. i read up somewhere that nicotine is a pestaside so i put 3 fag ends in there. i just cleaned out all the saucers and the only one that didnt have any springtails in was the one with the fag butts in :-D

if your venting out on a main street you'll want to get a silencer too

Thats some grow op unlucky to need a 12" filter, yes you need to match the silencer to the fan. Ive got one and they work to an extent but unless its acoustic fan then its gonna be loud even with a scilencer.
