Hello RIU!
New here to the forum, as well as growing, so any help/advice/tips are highly appreciated. Ive been creeping through various forums and watching/reading extensively about growing for the past couple of months, so Im not a complete total noob. I just havent gotten my hands dirty yet
.
Ive spent the past month or so setting up everything. My setup consists of 2 grow boxes: 1-5x4x7 for flowering and 1-4x4x5 for mother(s)/vegging. On top of the veg box, I made 2 cabinets, 1 for supplies and 1 for clones.

This image was taken a week ago and only shows the base. I was planning on using plywood to cover the walls, floors, and ceilings, but instead I have just used it for the ceilings and floors. For the walls, I have just wrapped it with a b/w reflective material all around. Its holding up well.
As for lighting, I will be using 2 600x Hydrostar ballasts with a Hortilux HPS and Emperor MH bulbs. The flowering room will have a large Adjust-a-wing with a super-spreader and the veg room will be using an air-cooled reflector.
The air from the veg room will be vented into the flowering room with a 240cfm 6 booster fan. In the flowering room, there is a 420cfm 6 Typhoon inline fan connected to a 6 Odor-X carbon filter venting both the flowering and vegging room out the window. The Typhoon is attached to a thermostat/fan controller and the veg fan is connected to a speed controller. Someone let me know if this vent setup will not work.
As for seeds, I will be using 5 feminized Green House White Widow and 3 feminized Barneys Vanilla Kush from Hemp Depot. I highly recommend them if youre in Canada. I went to the postal office Friday to send my money order and I received my order on Tuesday! My original order of GH WW and Nirvana Northern Lights from Attitude was taken by the customs, so I decided to order from within the border.

I have started to germinate this afternoon in wet paper towels inside a Ziploc bag. Hopefully they all crack within a couple of days

From there, Ill plant them in Atamis BCuzz Mixx under T5s 18/6 or 24/0.
As for nutrients, I picked up the General Organics GO Box. There are not many reviews on it, and I was wondering if I should stick with it, go with another brand, or switch completely to chemicals. Any tips?
Ill try to keep you guys updated throughout my entire grow. Ive got a d90 following along, so hopefully well get some nice bud porn very soon
