Hi There,

I have been smoking the herb now for about 4 years and I think its the right time to start a little grow of my own.

Am planning to do it in my room so I have limited space.

What are the easiest strain to grow?

What equipment do i need? Not looking for the cheapest but my budget is quite low.

What lights do I use? HPL or LED? How much watts does each plant need?

How much space do i need?

Does anyone have a guide to follow the steps?

Any tips and advice?

Hey good luck!!!! I know there are a lot of different choices out there. I know everyone has an opinion on what kind of light and to use soil or hydro and so on. You will have do do your own research and pick what works for you. But www.htgsupply.com has complete grow packages from a small to large set up everything you need for veg/mothering tent light fan temp gauge for 299.00 and flowering tent with light vent fan ect... 399.00 you should check it out. Or you can get one tent and get a set up that you can veg then flower in the same tent. They have packages for soil or hydro. Led or HPS or MH. Prices 299.99. To. 999.99 I'm sure there are many more places to get stuff but I just bought a set up and they were one of the only places inbound that had COMPLETE PACKAGES. Good luck

Welcome to the community pazza!

Easy strains for indoor growing, Norther Lights, Afghan, heard of skunk #1 being easy, and blue widow (only say blue widow because it's super easy to feed)

Lights are gonna depend on how many plants you wanna grow imo. Don't go with led's imo. But I'm assuming your probably gonna go with 1-3 especially if your doing it in your room. Id say get an hps 100 watts for 1 plant, then 50 watts more per additional plant. Heres a link to a cheap 150w hps, its a floodlight so its sturdy and quiet so you can sleep lol, light may keep you up though. http://www.amazon.com/Designers-Edge-L-1760-150W-HPS-150-Watt-Commercial/dp/B000UOHAZE/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1363210462&sr=8-7&keywords=high+pressure+sodium

Equipment, nutrients, timer, atleast 1 oscilating fan (unless you happen to have an ac vent very close to where you're going to put them), ph up & down (optional for soil imo), and some string for lst (will make working in a confined space much easier) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzypFWTB0Ok

As for space, thats not so much answerable because it's going to depend on how big you let them veg before you flower, and how much lst you perform.

Goodluck on the grow.

I checked out the link above. The one for the light on amazon and it says it is a motion light and it only has. 1500 lumen output. I don't think that is strong enough. I have a 600 watt hps and I think it has 78000 lumen. I could be wrong but I would not use that light on the above link. Just my opinion

Don't buy the floodlight off amazon, please!

Best advice I can give someone just starting out... Go buy a book or 3 and read, read, read... anything by Cervantes, Rosenthal, or Frank is a good place to start. Watch videos on YouTube... check out Grow Like A Pro produced by HighTimes.

As far as for your questions... I'm sure after you do some reading and some watching you will have most of the answers you seek.
