hello everyone this is my first post.
im about to start a small indoor grow and I need advice on a few things.
I have a good amount of experience growing outdoors, I've grown a half dozen plants out in the sun every summer for almost 10 years now. All my outdoor has been complete organic grown directly in the earth, no nutes, no soil and training. I have also done 2 single plant indoor grows under cfls with just basic Walmart soil no nutes and lst.
so now that that's out there lets get to the new setup.
I just received my seeds today, 5 crop king fem auto northern lights.
I have a 400w mh light and a few days ago I ordered this hps off ebay

tomorrow im going to build a room inside my garage. its just going to basicly be a wooden box size yet to be determined.
I also have a few just regular desk fans I will be using.
as of now I need to figure out what size of pots I should get. I was thinking 3 to 5 gallons depending on whats available (most garden stores don't really have much stock in November)
what I should use for soil, there isn't any places around me to buy like brand name soil or anything.
and how big I should build my room? I was thinking 4'x4'x6' or maybe 6'x6'x6'
I would also like to use some nutes to try and get the best yield I can, I've never used nutes before so that's a whole new subject to me.
anyways im going to germinate the seeds in a few days when the room is made and I have my soil. then I plan to use the mh light I have until my hps gets here which shouldn't be more then 10 days or so.
any advice would be good. this is my first attempt at using hid lights and using autos.
I will make make a journal once all the pieces start to come together
