Learned many things from my first grow.
Main thing is...less water is good.
A decent to good light is right. tried cfls the first time...3 bulbs for a total of 37 watts, lol. that is enough for seedlings, but not for a decent veg. certainly not enough for flowering.
This time I'm using Lowryder2 seeds, gonna do about 8, grew/growing bagseed before/now.
I have a good light setup on order now, should be here next week.
400w HPS, reflector and ballast. using the same room as before, about 6x8ft. I also have 500w MV ballastless bulbs, 2 of them. not certain yet whether or not to add one or both, if any. they really, really get hot!
gonna shop for pots and soil tomorrow. I will grow organically. sure wish to add co2, but that will depend on availability.
I'll post some pics tomorrow also, not much to see now anyway.
