Hi all,
I am a sort of newbie at growing, have had a plant from flowering to harvest but not the full process.
I have joined this forum to gain as much knowledge as possible before starting my grow, I am looking to grow lemon skunk(i LOVE the flavour) around 12-16 plants in a 2m by 2m homemade grow enclosure, I say enlcosure and not tent because i plan to make it out of wood and not plastic poles for strength. I plan to use the diamond grow reflective sheeting to cover it.
At the moment i can't decide whether i want to have one full enclosure or split the enclosure down the middle and use it for vegging+flowering for a continuous yield.
I'm going to use 400-600w hps with a digital ballast if i keep it as one enclosure.
What is the easiest medium to use for my first grow?
anyways off to browse the forum and beautiful pics,
lemon

Hi Lemon and welcome

Sounds like you have a plan in place and ready to roll it out in the very near future.

Although I too am a newbie (Currently on my 1st grow), but one that has studied long and hard ... I would have to say to start in soil. I would def spend the extra amount of funds to get the entire products that you would need at your local Hydroponic's store, and not the OTC stuff at Home Teapot or Wally World etc.

I hope that you do well in whatever you may choose to do, and look very forward on some great posts and pics.

Happy Holidays, Peace and Love

is it true that one of the hardest parts about growing is finding your spot...i have a spot in mind it i posted a thread describing in please check it out and feel free to give advice

i think that finding a spot to hide your car is the hardest part nearby to a good grow spot.Most rips offs will be onto your trail by first seeing your parked car, dont forget your in there for 3-4 hours working.

So, I'm a new grower and recently started some Sativa indoors. I germinated a bunch of seeds and only a few survived the germination and initial planting process. Right now I have 1 solid plant growing and it is about 4-5 inches tall and one germinated seedling that is barely sprouting out of some soil. I'm using the natural light through a bathroom window and a 3 led tap-light that I found in a drawer in my kitchen at night time. The tap light is a blue/purple spectrum led and is very good at inducing quick growth. From using the LED overnight I have gotten multiple new leaves sprouting and the existent leaves grow larger and faster. I'm not sure how long ago I planted my 4-5 inch plant but I believe it was about 2-3 weeks ago. I need to know when I should move my plants into the flowering room, what height, or how much time (in weeks)? Also, if I'm growing Sativa is it normal for the stem to the plant to be thin and long? Of the 4-5 inch height of the plant, about 4 inches of the plant is stem and the leaves on top make up the remaining inch. I thought it may be because I have the tap-light hanging about 1 inch from the top of the plant, and have been moving it as the plant grows that this may have effected it. Any ideas?

I am at week 3 day 3 and my plants are doing pretty well. I started these from seeds and I purchased Feminized White Widow Seeds. I topped them at 1 week and they have recovered very well. Oh yeah also this is my first grow but I have a pretty good setup.
