Hey everyone. Im starting my first indoor grow in the next couple weeks. Growing 30 plants in 5 gallon pots with 10 315 watt cmh lights in a 9x13 room. 2 parts soil to one part coco mix. Substituted bulbs for the higher grade philips then what comes with fixtures. Any tips or thoughts to help with yield would be appareciated. Hoping for 10lbs per grow.

Serious question - Why go so big on your first grow? I see loads of new growers here that are starting with large grows right out of the gate when they have never even grown before. Way more than personal use. So are you starting a business? Wouldn’t you want to learn to crawl before you start running?

I‘m not trying to be an asshole, I’m just genuinely curious as to why new growers will start off with 20, 30, or more plants, sometimes on complicated hydroponic systems, when they have no idea what to expect.

I wish you luck but be warned that it can get overwhelming quick.

Been around grows for awhile, have a good grasp on the process and workload. Grown outdoors plenty but first time indoor. Not worried about the number of plants. Just curious if I picked a sufficient light set up for desired outcome

OK lets start right there
Open hoods?
Cooling?
Heat during non-light hours ?
Nutrients?

10lbs probably won't achieved on your first run, it is called dialing in a room
