Have you grown before? I would say your light is the biggest hurdle, everything else can be comprised and worked around. I'm an LED guy, but if money is an issue and things like heat arent an issue I would say metal halide/High Pressure Sodium might be your best bet. LEDs are great, but the amount of straight up Bull$hit involved with claims on performance is shocking. And yhen theres tje cost. If you go LED look me up. I've used Spectrum King 400+, Platinum P300s and P4, G8, and presently use Black Dog.

Hey there everyone. I'm 27 years old and i live in the northern part of europe.
I'm new here & have been growing one plant, in about a year ago, though it was more of an experiment/learning the phases of her life.

Now I'm more "organized", concerning lights, airflow, watering, nutrients e.t.c.
My growing (indoors) space is 40×40×120cm, so i don't have a lot of space to play with. I germinated three seeds (blue dream) but since i realised my limit in space, i treated 2 of them pretty rough. For example i topped one of them when it only had one node...

Now I'm having two plants in veg-phase and they seem to enjoy their life so far (now vegged for ~5 weeks) I'm using a LED-light, 0.1kW and the temp is ~19-21°C at "night" and ~24-26°C during "day". Humidity ~55-60%. I use 100% coco-fibre for one plant, and the other one is 100% soil. That one in just coco seem to be in need for some more N. (Yellowing tips and tiny dots). So i gave her 2ml 20% N (canna) and also 2ml trace elements, also canna, while watering her.

Now to my question...I do have a large amount of chalk (calsium/magnesium) and i was wondering if it's possible for me to mix a very small amount of that chalk in to the water i plan to water her with? Just to balance the Ph. I mean, it couldn't do any harm at least, right?

I'm grateful for any answers concerning this & and I'm so happy that this forum exist :)

Cheers!

She is probably 3-4 weeks in to flowering. She is getting really frosty all over. I just wish she was bigger. This is my first ever grow and I did it on a budget so CFL all the way. But she had some stresses and did not grow too tall. I have about a 6" cola and several good sized popcorn buds but all in all she is about 10" tall. So my yeild will be rather low but the experience is way more valuable to me right now.

I'm with you. I decided to grow a strain (Pineapple Chunk) that was rumored to be sensitive to nutrients. Well i have this strain and another (Ayahuasca Purple) in the same DWC. I ended up with Nitrogen toxicity, so P Chunk is destined for popcorn too. I'm ok with it. In 3 weeks ill be done and ready for a new grow after Halloween. This grow wasn't a total waste... I tried soil for the first time. I have one plant. I started a PK booster yesterday, looking forward to watching this plant bulk up.

I think you have the right outlook on this. It doesn't pay to cry yourself to sleep when shit goes south... just learn from it and get better at it. Hopefully what you do get is worthwhile. This brings about another important part of all this... The drying and proper curing of your harvest. This really is as important as growing. No-one wants to smoke hay.
