I've posted a few times but haven't really got a definitive answer from anyone yet so I'm trying again in the hope that someone can advise me of what exactly I would need for the grow-room (airing cupboard) that I have earmarked for the event.
My feminised White Widow seeds will be arriving soon and I want to use the next few days to get my 200cm(h) x 60cm(w) x 50cm(D) growing area ready for the main event.
I'm only looking to grow 2-3 plants at any one time due to space limitations but obviously want as big a yield as possible.
I'm a complete newbie to the whole grow-scene but I'm looking for some advice on a decent starter kit with everything that I will need for a fruitful few months until my 1st harvest can go up in controlled smoke.
Greenfields Hydroponics UK - Grow Kit with 600w HPS Grow Light + LightSafe Relay
or
Greenfields Hydroponics UK - Grow Kit with 400w HPS Grow Light +
LightSafe Relay
To work in conjunction with;
Greenfields Hydroponics UK - Micromark 24hr Digital Timer
Greenfields Hydroponics UK - Micromark MM53548 Tower Fan with Timer
Will I also need to opt for CFL lighting for the early stages or will the 400/600 HPS work just as well?
I'm in the UK so the weather is pretty cold right now (about 13 Deg C during the day and approx 7 deg C at night). I would look to use the daylight hours as the non-daylight hours for the plants and vice versa to capitalise on temperatures but would a cooling system be absolutely necessary? Maybe one of the following would work instead?
Greenfields Hydroponics UK - Heat Shield - Small
Obviously I can follow other people's guidelines as to how to proceed with the growth process but I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me whether I have identified a suitable starting point. Will these items, along with the carefully selected seeds, give my set-up a good chance of survival and benefit me by way of a nice, buzzy harvest?
I'm just not sure wether it's worthwhile spending this amount on my first attempt or whether to opt for a more skeletal grow room which seems to have worked really well for so many other fellow cultivators.
Thanks guys, any advice is greatly appreciated.
