Total weed growing newbie, although I have done my homework. I do have some experience with botany, and I hope it helps me in the venture.
What I have, or have ordered:
GrowLabs120: 3'11"x3'11"x72" (or something)
1x Lumatek 400W/600W MH/HPS ballast
1x Fresca Sol: Water cooler light fixture w/reflector
5x T8 Daylight tubes (from other projects)
5x Paradise Seeds - Femmed - Sensi Star seeds
A ton of "screen" (like chicken wire, just a little thicker, and the holes are bigger)
Need to get:
HID lights (have questions)
Carbon Filter w/fan (have questions)
Nutes (doing my homework still)
Co2 (I hear this can be key for nice colas and yield?)
Grow medium (haven't decided on soil or hydro for 1st grow...hydro for 2nd and on)
So I planned on using the T8's to germ, let sprout, and then use a MH to veg the rest of the way. I plan on screening these gals, but am still deciding if I want to go SCROG of more of a training route...probably scrog.
I have been hearing from a lot of people the I will get tighter internode spacing, if I veg with CFL's or even the flouro's.
Grow Question 1: What do you all think for vegging? MH, CFLs or Flouros to get tight node spacing, and big colas (and why)?
Anything I have forgotten, any recommendations right off? Many more questions coming, not to mention pics, and a half-assed journal. (~_^)
[EDIT:] Forgot to mention, smell is a major issue...my only real concern.
